Long solicit: Hey, remember when DC did "One Year Later" and it was the greatest, most creative, and most revolutionary thing in comics EVER? We thought long and hard about how we could do something that awesome, and we came up with something TWICE as amazing. That's right! "Two Years Later..."
Presenting a bold new chapter in CHEW, which just so happens to be the FINAL chapter. "The Last Suppers," Part 1. The countdown begins.
Short solicit: Two years later.
Chew #51 is a great issue that gives you the usual fun and silly shenanigans that you come to expect from the series. Its only weakness is that it could be doing more with the story, especially now that the series is getting closer and closer to the end.

Chew #51 is eloquently absurd, and maybe that is writer John Layman's signature dark humor just messing with us because he can. It is a playful middle finger to structure and pacing to indulge in fan-favorite characters, but the issue plays like a montage with no movie. There's only nine issues remaining in the series, and we've still got a chicken conspiracy to figure out, damn it. Like Toni said, "There's not much time left for our beloved characters." Chop chop.

This was not an easy review to write, and no offence was meant by it. I can only hope this was a minor blip in an otherwise superb series. Read Full Review
