review 1: Oh, Chew. You wonderful, horrible series. :)Things are starting to go from bad to worse with the number of people able to affect themselves and the world around them with food. This time, a food fight turns deadly and Tony and his partner need to work out what happened. And then we get to see team-ups! Deadly battles! Mutations! And in the middle of it all, some stuff actually happens. :)Chew continues to walk that line (and occasionally tip over it) between gross out humor and just gross, and to be fair, this one was a little better than most. But unlike most of the previous collections, this time I also actually feel like we might be building up to something and not just seeing events strung together by only the curve of a timeline. Definitely looking forward to the next... more one.
review 2: There's a lot about this series I like plotwise. It's funny and a bit messed up. But it's not so great in terms of how it treats women, especially with the art (please can the women with tiny tiny waists and boobs as big as their heads stop, please), and this volume was worse with that.So I didn't like this one as much as I liked the previous volumes. And I'm getting a little annoyed at the story too. It is based around law enforcement investigations and there's some jumps ahead that I don't feel like are properly explained. And there's a lot of overarching mystery that I just want some answers to already, and instead what I get is another mysterious event in connection with the big mystery and not any clues as to what's happening. less
