A wonderful, meatier continuation of this excellent comic book series (pun intended). The plot took some truly unexpected turns as we learn more about Tony Chu. I can't wait for more!

3rd edition of this graphic novel. We learn more about Tony Chu and Amelia Mintz relationship plus we meet all of Tony's family. Still gross and for mature audiences.

Cibopathic detective Tony Chu busts up an illegal eating club, finally gets his hands on Poyo, goes up against a chicken billionaire, comes within a brush of Mason Savoy, and goes up against his biggest enemies of all, his family...
The Chu saga continues to unfold. Tony and Amelia are an item. Colby tangles with Mason Savoy. A frog-chicken hybrid operation is shut down. Mason Savoy continues to be at large in more ways than one.
Even though this is the third volume, I feel like the surface has barely been scratched on Tony Chu and the world he lives in. Mason Savoy's massive conspiracy is still largely untouched and Tony's family is a lot larger than I dreamed of, lots of material for future volumes.
One of my favorite parts of the book is the relationship between Colby and Applebee. Shit is going to hit the fan there sooner or later.
The art and story are still great but I do want to bitch about the pace. We're only three volumes in and I feel like there's already some stalling. Future volumes will tell me if I'm right, though.
Chew is simultaneously an odd, quirky read and good detective fiction, something I didn't think Layman would be able to pull off in the long term. So far, so good. Four out of five stars.
