My initial reaction after the last panel was: Guess who's eating Poyo for dinner!

I loved that chicken, really gonna miss him.

Continua a cumprir níveis notáveis para a longevidade que já conta. Fico a aguardar o 10.º volume, que nem sei bem quando sairá nesta edição Gfloy.

On the back of volumes two through eight of Chew you can find reviews from reputable comic websites and publications. And the last one on every cover is always negative. For this volume, the last review is from CXPulp.com and it reads "Even more violent than usual." And it's accurate.

Volume nine of Chew, Chicken Tenders, is The Empire Strikes back of Chew collections. Secrets revealed. Revelations relevated. Love. Death. Food. Weddings. Funerals. Assassins. Even more weird food powers. Betrayal. An unexpected savior. Violence. And Poyo, the most rageful rooster in the world.

Unlike many comics I've read, the violence in this comic doesn't seem excessive. It's just a case of raised stakes and consequences. Brutal, brutal consequences.

Yeah whatever. Too much Poyo. Tony and John getting married added very little, just more unrelated details. The fantasy world with Poyo as champion was a definite low point. Tony solving difficult cases was a very low high point. Just not enough use of the characters as characters.
