I dove into this book thinking it was going to be 100% Baseball-themed but I was way off for the most part, thankfully! My knowledge of baseball is very limited.
Chew Volume 5 starts with a bang and ends with a bigger bang ! The middle part is entertaining, hilarious (Tony Chu wearing a kilt!!!!), action-packed, clever and intriguing. Most elements of the story are geniunely original and very well-thought out. I can't recommend Chew enough!

In this and the other volume which I've just finished, we're entering longer story arcs with several significant arcs (or at least sub-plots, we'll see) existing simultaneously, whereas previously the stories were shorter and wrapped up within the volume. I am a fan of longer and more detailed graphic novel story arcs, so am looking forward to continuing with this series.

I read all five volumes in a flurry, but I'll just post one review: OMG awesome. So gross and detectivey and inventive. Can't wait to read more.
