This is an insane volume. As if it could not go crazier, we have alternate storylines, seal murders, and Chu and John getting completely wasted. Crazy is the word, this is probably the highlight of the series. Also... POYO!

Wow, this was heavy. And the ending! I don't think I can wait for the next compilation, time to start buying issue by issue!

Chew is all about the world of food-related superpowers. It got me thinking, what would be a good food power to actually have?

Tony's cibopathy, which lets him learn a lot about the origin of a food, its maker, all that stuff, pretty much seems like a fuckin nightmare. Olive's power seems a little better, where she can sort of absorb knowledge, skills and abilities. But what else might be out there?

Crackopathy: Ability to crack eggs, one-handed, without fucking up even a little.

Greastoppumup: Cook bacon and have all the grease remain in the pan, no splashing anything else.

Smoquotient: Mentally disable all smoke alarms while cooking.

Sommeliarity: Become an expert wine taster without being a total asshole.

I need to think about this more.
