Imagine sitting in a quiet sushi bar and seeing your best friend decapitated for committing the egregious crime of ordering a California roll — this is just one of the many violent fantasies Anthony Bourdain lives out in his new comic book, Vertigo’s Get Jiro!

Co-authored by Joel Rose and illustrated by Langdon Foss, the comic follows the exploits of Jiro (don’t confuse him with the cute old man from that recent sushi documentary), a headstrong chef-cum-samurai, cooking in a dystopian Los Angeles run by two crime lords, “each locked in a battle with the other over culinary minutiae and arcane philosophical differences.” Along the way, Jiro also battles militant vegans and frou frou restaurateurs.

 “It’s an exaggerated riff on the worst of douche culture,” says Bourdain, a vocal dissident of all things hipster and insincere. “I wanted accurate depictions of food, and lots of violence!”

Having already penned several crime novels, comics seemed like a natural progression for the former chef. Bourdain has always loved the medium, and even showcased legendary comic artist and misanthrope Harvey Pekar on his television show No Reservations.

Get Jiro! looks like a load of fun. And knowing Bourdain, the outrage won’t stop with food-related decapitations. This is a man who’s publicly called television cook Paula Deen “greedy” and “cynical,” and claims that Ronald McDonald is responsible for the “death and possible dismemberment” of small children. No reservations, indeed.
