I love that Layman and Guillory brought some heavy drama to the series and I'm still blown away with how well the world of Chew manages to blend genres and does so with its patent Chew charm. Layman and Guillory are among the best duos in comics and their styles just flow together perfectly. Enough cannot be said about this series to get people on board. While #31 offers a great jump on point you are doing yourself a great disservice if you skip over the first 30 issues. Read Full Review

One of the best ongoing comics being published turns away from the darkness for a fun and black-humored new storyline. Read Full Review

This reinvigorated good cop/bad cop duo has fantastic chemistry and a brand new mystery to chew on. Chew #31 is a momentous start to the next arc, and it is loaded with subtle but defining character moments making this an excellent jumping-on point for new readers. Read Full Review

Issue #31 is the best jumping on point you'll have to read Chew aside from issue 1. One of the most popular Image titles right now and it will only increase in popularity as the series nears its end. Geton boardnow before it's too late. Read Full Review

As with all issues, this one is filled with gags which Layman and Guillory have snuck in that will have you going back in case you've missed something (comment below on one you noticed). CHEW #31 is also a great jumping on point for new readers and I highly recommend you tell your friends about it. Read Full Review

It's good to see Tony out of the hospital back in the FDA saddle in "Chew" #31. So far, "Bad Apples" doesn't lack for new ideas or action, but its flavors aren't uniformly most complex of Layman and Guillory's oeuvre at first bite. However, with the entire Chu family exhorting Tony to pursue vengeance, chances are that readers can reasonably expect dollops of the higher-stakes, overarching plot involving arch-villain The Vampire in later menus of "Bad Apples."

There's so much action this issue is a really quick read, which could be good or bad, depending on your point of view. Read Full Review

Chew#31 isn't the great jumping on point I'd like it to be, considering it's the start of the series' second half. Overall, though,it's great to have Tony back in the lead, even if we had to sacrifice his sister in the process. Read Full Review

Rob Guillroy's art is, as usual, amazing. A perfect half-pair to Layman's whimsical writing style if there ever was one. Read Full Review

Chew #31 was a decent read for me. I respect Layman's originality in premise and context. I can also say I've never seen a cannibal portrayed as the good guy until I read this. It's always refreshing to have a twist that makes you do a double-take. I also love Layman's inclusion of poetic devices such as alliteration; his captions flow with Guillory's art like peanut butter and jelly. The only turn off was the cussing. It doesn't go well with the ethics of being a hero. Read Full Review
