Very well done. For some reason I didn't enjoy this volume as much as the first, but it was still quite an enjoyable read. This volume felt more chaotic than the first and I wasn't as drawn in. However it was wonderful nonetheless and I look forward to reading the third volume.

So glad I finally got around to reading this volume.So much happens in volume three and all of it is very intriguing. Such a fantastic read. As always this series is a pleasure to read, despite (or because) it is so utterly disgusting.

Loved every second of this graphic novel. It's disgusting, action-packed, and hilarious. Can't wait to get the next volume!

I read this a while ago, and bought it on sale, for the art. I'd known I'd loved Chiodo's art, so this had to be good, right? Except that the story isn't all that exciting. Time travel, with a heavy The Time Machine vibe, this came off as, well, that story with a couple wrenches thrown in. ...

This is easily the most disgusting thing I have ever read and I loved every minute of it. Amazing artwork, awesome story. This graphic novel was perfect. I also loved that each chapter felt like it's own story that fit into a greater whole of a book. So instead of feeling the need to read the next c...

There was a humble bundle with a whole bunch of graphic novels - all from Image, I believe- and Chew was one of them. I always thought Chew sounded a bit silly as it's about a cibopath, or someone who gets psychic impressions from what they eat. So I wanted the others, but not this. Primus, no...

This is the funniest graphic novel I've ever read. And it's not just the chops, Toni or Poyo- it's all the background posters that inspire giggles, chortles and snorts. "The Stabbiest Prison,"? "E=MC Hammer"? Awesome. Love the art, love the concept.

The focus of this book is centered on Tony's relationships - with Amelia, with his partner, with his family. The stories are a little disjointed, but the sense of fun continues. It hasn't quite been able to recapture the fun of the first collection, but it's still a pretty funny, entertaining and oc...
