Reviews for Chew Vol. 7

[bert.cielen · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Yup, those are three stars. And I feel that even that score is a bit generous. Because phew, this story arc was not pretty and seems only to exist to move the pawns across the board. Far too much pages explaining things (which I guess some people will appreciate), but lacking almost all of the surprise and outlandishness this series is known for. Even the new special food-related powers seem lackluster and farfetched.

(Please note that I did not read the TPB, but merely the individual issues.)

I love the Chew series, but this was a little bit more of a middle volume. There's a lot of set ups here, but very little gets resolved. Still, as always, it's a fun ride.

This was a really good volume.

Volume 7 in the Tony Chu saga. Tony Chu is back and unfortunately my interest has lower accordingly, apparently he is my overall problem with the Chew books, the parts that don't feature him move much better for me. The story continues to advance and be strong and they continue to use a more expansive color palate, though I am beginning to really want at least a hint of what the secret behind the avian flu story is, I am beginning to become impatient waiting for something, anything about that. There was a very brief Pengthulu encounter, which was awesome and hopefully he will show up once in a while (or at least once more) going forward like Poyo does. I am enjoying the fleshing out of the food powers, the writers are quite creative with those, and I'm hoping the ending here hints at a character development going forward and I really hope I find a way to like Tony more or this is going to be be a long slog going forward.

Easily the very best volume of Chew thus far.
