After the tragic events of Chew 30, writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory launch the second half of the series with a funeral. At the very end of this sad occasion, Tony and Colby get the chance to partner up again. With Tony back on the job, plots are uncovered, and a holy war is brought to light.

John Layman writes some of the oddest and most hilarious comic scripts in Chew. With each issue, he creates an even more insane story that somehow makes sense in the strange universe populated with food-based powers. Even with the insanity, he crafts genuinely compelling stories. While it’s often funny, the humor only makes the emotional and sad moments even more meaningful. Layman brings the focus of Chew back on Tony and Colby again, going back to the “buddy-cop” feel of the series while simultaneously setting up the series for the next big conflict.

In addition to being just a generally nice and funny guy, Rob Guillory can draw some strange things in Chew. Whether it’s a bit of cannibalism, flaming sumo wrestlers, or even a cartoon version of himself, Guillory puts his own spin on things. His unique style is only added to by the humorous things he hides in many panels, such as his buddy and artist of Morning Glories, Joe Eisma, being approached by a Twilight character at a con. It’s the humor and the great art that help bring Chew up to the next level.

Every issue of Chew is enjoyable. It’s one of the most unique comics on the market. The creative team is dedicated to making a high quality book, and it’s one of the few comics that will leave a huge grin on your face if it’s not making you depressed instead. This issue starts the second half of the series, making it a good place for new readers to start.
