    Chew is one of those books that you expect to be good and frankly that's probably why so few people bother to review it or even talk about it. They just expect that they'll enjoy the story and laugh and that John Layman will introduce some new food related power and they'll feel justified spending their three bucks. But do you know how much harder it is for creators to consistently deliver issues of this caliber, especially with that expectation? I don't know how this creative team has done it, buy Layman and Rob Guillory are one of the best creative duos in the history of comics. How can you even question that at this point? This is two guys that make a comic book that beats the vast majority of all other comics being published and they do it themselves" amazing. If you're not reading it, you're likely wasting your money on something else. Read Full Review

    Comic Vine - Corey 'Undeadpool' Schroeder Jun 25, 2014

    Even if you missed last issue, jumping on this one wont be a problem as long as youre reasonably caught up. This is a series absolutely worth starting at the beginning for, however, as seeing the characters develop and grow over 42 issues (8 volumes collected in trade) makes every future issue rewarding on a whole other level. Despite the over-the-top visuals, this is one of the best developed, consistently well told stories in comics. Read Full Review

    The final twists leaves a lot of questions, but none I can bring up, as it might be a spoiler. So pick it up Wednesday, and well talk then. Read Full Review
