Lots of Poyo can only be good. This volume also features grudges, psychedelic experiences and tragedy.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm getting tired of Chew. I feel like the main story has become so convoluted and complex that I don't really know what's going on anymore. And there doesn't seem to be much of a concern about returning to that story, at least anytime soon. Plus the digressions get old.

Still a few things art-wise that I don't like about this series and there are some shocking events in this volume that I'm not okay with happening, but I really really enjoyed it. This volume steps back from following Tony Chu and instead follows some of the other characters which I really liked. And there are some really hilarious moments in it, if you have a slightly dark sense of humour.

Trying to be spoiler-free. I'm really surprised by the ending, didn't expect THAT to happen!

While Tony is in the hospital his twin sister Toni plays the main character in this issue. This issue just didn't live up to the other issues. It also has a drastic horrible ending. Hope the next issue Tony returns.

I couldn't stop reading these comics if I tried. They are hilarious, disgusting, imaginative, and chock full on inside jokes and those little details that make a story (or image).
I think what I like best about these comics is the fact that I never know what is going to happen. Usually the plot takes a pretty standard route, even if there are surprises along the way. But here, I am constantly surprised and on the edge of my seat.

With Tony laid up in the ICU, his friends have their hands full. Can Toni, Colby, Poyo, and Valenzano pick up the slack?
Yeah, that's not a precisely accurate teaser but I didn't want to spoil anything.
There's a lot going on in this book. I think sticking Tony in the hospital for a few issues was the spark this book needed. While the bird flu conspiracy hasn't advanced, the subplot involving the vampire has quite a bit.
Toni gets quite a bit of character development and her past is explored a bit. The partnership between Colby and Poyo was more entertaining than I thought it would be. I wasn't crazy about the Poyo solo story but it still had its moments.
Much like with the last volume, the ending was a shocker that made me want to read the next one immediately. I can't imagine reading this one in singles. It reads a lot better in collections.
That's about all I have to say. The status quo has been disrupted and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Space Cakes was the kick in the ass the series needed to get back on track. Four out of five stars.

Tony's sister... Toni, takes the spotlight in this volume as she is battling hallucinatory animal hybrids and other weirdly gifted food psychics. Also... POYO!
