Reviews for Chew Vol. 6

[bert.cielen · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The latest collection of this seriously out-there comic.

I would have given five stars, but the Poyo-centered story was an utter waste of time.

Since Tony is in the hospital for the duration of this book, the author focuses on his twin sister Toni. Rather than seeing the past when she bites into something, she see's the future. There's also a great Poyo mini in this book that had me in giggles. Toni is so different from her brother. She's very positive and upbeat and I loved getting to know her a little better. Loved the relationship between her Ceasar and I can't wait to get my hands on the next volume. I was so sorry to see her go at the end; I would have loved to see her keep working with everyone.

With the addition of a prominent Toni storyline and the Poyo, Layman finally achieves a perfect balance between a very emotional storyline and a not very serious comic. I loved the combination of dramatic elements and comedic moments in this volume, more so than in any other volume so far. A lot about this volume was the definition of what makes Chew so easy to digest. I cannot wait to see the continuation of this volume, because a very big ending lies in the final pages of this volume.

Volume 6 in the Tony Chu saga. This is easily my favorite volume so far, and I finally have some characters I like and want to see more of. Caesar and Toni Chu, a bit awkward that last one. Oh well. I also really liked the inclusion of more and varied colors, most of the others volumes were heaving on the browns, oranges with some blue. This one was much more colorful. Also Poyo and chogs, so much more Poyo and chogs. It also does not escape me that there was very little Tony Chu since he was indisposed for most of the volume. I really needed as fun an issue as this to make up for the last one.

Well damn. Just when you don't think this series can get any weirder...it gets weirder. And more serious. Without losing any of its Chewyness. It's tough to review volume after volume of something that is simply fantastic every damn time.

So instead, I'll just tell you to go read the series. And POYO!
