Chew has become one of my all-time favorite comics. Although I'm slightly disturbed to find that the more of it I read, the less it bothers me when protagonist Tony Chu eats a bite of a dead person or something even grosser than that. It's become oddly normal. Which is sick. And funny. I love this series. (

Not as gory as the first one, but more intriguing! (

This is becoming one of my favorite comic series. I love Tony Chu. Both volumes I have read so far have had terrific mystery storylines that are a little twisted. I can't imagine eating the things that Chu eats to solve mysteries. In this volume, I liked that the author brought back Chu's former partner and paired them back up. They have a good camaraderie that adds some interesting turns in the storyline. (

I still can't decide if I like this series or not. This volume was even more outrageous than the last. Some plot threads just don't hold up, but others are engaging. I guess I'll have to read the third installment to help me decide...
