Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice by Rob Guillory, John Layman
4.0
Chew has been the talk of the comic book world lately, and another massive hit for Image comics. As an adorer of any food-related fiction (or non-fiction), I decided to give it a go.
After I finished reading this first installment, I was still very hungry. Chew has most of my favorite ingredients to make a great comic book;
1 Original premise
1 Decent plot
1 Tbsp interesting characters
1 Tbsp cool character dynamics
1 Tbsp political statement
1 Tbsp great action and fun
1 Tbsp weird, disgusting moments
1 Superb art
Salt and Pepper
Give all of these a good blend and season to taste with a few unsolved mysteries. Salt and pepper to taste; there you have it. A great book that will leave you wanting more. In fact, I only gave it 4 stars because I have very high hopes for the next installments.
