I just finished reading Chew, through trades, over the course of two weeks, give or take a few days. What a great run! I have to admit, it took me a couple of issues, maybe even the whole first trade to really "feel it", but once I did, I couldn't get it down fast enough.
The book was hilarious, from the dialogue to the visuals. The writing and art go together like they were conceived from the same place. Layman and Guillory make a great team. I'm really hoping they take on another project together, but I'll be following both in whatever they do next.
What a ride! Chew takes you on such a great romp through this super crazy world. The characters, their stories, abilities, what a breath of fresh air. And the end! Wow! What a great last panel. It honestly doesn't get better for me than this. I'm putting Chew on the top of my lists as some of the finest comics ever.
How else could it have ended? Wow. I'm besides myself with how good it all was. If you haven't read Chew yet, i think it's about time you did.
