I did end up reading through Vol. 4, and it’s better but I still feel kind of weird about it.

Chew, Vol. 2: International Flavor by John Layman

July 12, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 26/30 Ugh, why you gotta ruin a good thing, John and Rob?* Ugh. I don’t know what to think about this series now. I sort of have whiplash. Since I have Vols. 3-5 checked out from the library right now I’ll probably keep going, but with a warier eye now. Ugh. *The writer and artist, respectively. Who, for context, are both white. So basically there are two things ruining my enjoyment here, and I almost two-starred this, but I […]

When I say gross, I mean nasty. Do not read this while eating.

Chew, Vol.1: Taster's Choice by John Layman

July 9, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 21/30 Haha, what a weird, gross book. I liked it. I mean it, if you can’t handle seriously nasty things (mostly involving tasting and smelling, and bodily fluids, and gore) stay away from here. If you’ve got a strong stomach and appreciate a wacky premise, this might be for you. Basically, Tony Chu is a cop, who is a cibopath, meaning he can sense the histories of what he eats. This basically means all he eats is beets in […]

A Big Hallucination to Move the Plot Along… Next Time

Chew, volume 8: Family Recipies by John Layman and Rob Guillory

March 6, 2016 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

I feel like I’ve said this before, but this is one of those series that for some reason I never really read back-to-back, but end up having long breaks in between picking up new volumes. Is this a good thing? I’m not sure, but fortunately, I don’t run into that problem I usually have of forgetting the plot or characters when I come back after some time, as John Layman makes sure to do small recaps of characters and their abilities as the story goes […]

Throwing Stars Made of Tortilla Chips and Guitars Strung with Spaghetti

Chew, vol. 6&7 - "Space Cakes" and "Bad Apples" by John Layman and Rob Guillory

March 16, 2015 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

I seem to go through this comic book series in little stints. I’ll read a few, then take a break until I acquire some more, and then take another break. And while a few details always get lost here and there, it always manages to draw me back and I start to remember where I left off almost immediately. John Layman’s story is twisty and engaging, and nothing like anything I’ve ever read before (ya know, speaking for myself). It’s different and fun, but also […]

Less tasty than normal

Chew: Volume 4, Omnivore Edition by John Layman and Rob Guillory

March 1, 2015 by llp 2 Comments

This series is another one of Image Comics’ great titles, along with some of my other favourites such as Saga (READ IT), Rat Queens and East of West. This one is quite a bit further along than the others, as this is the fourth large hard cover trade, released in mid-2014. This is one of the few graphic novel series that my husband is willing to read – he just isn’t a fiction reader and isn’t generally enchanted by the medium, but really likes this […]

An Odd but Enjoyable Little Series…

Chew, volumes 4 & 5 by John Layman and Rob Guillory

November 19, 2014 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

I feel like there are so many comic book series that I start but don’t keep up with in a timely manner. It’s been almost a year since I last read an installment of Chew, but I still managed to remember most of what was going on. That might be because this series is just so different and strange, that it’s hard to really forget. Or maybe it’s just easy to remember once you get back into it. Describing the plot of this series is […]
