review:
'Chew, Volume 10: Blood Puddin'" collects Chew issues 46-50. After so many issues, it may be that the humor is running a bit thin, but there it's still a bit madcap and crazy.
For those unfamiliar, you're probably better starting earlier in the series than this, but Chew is an agent of the FDA who solves crimes by getting psychic impressions from things that he eats. That should give you an idea of how crazy this book can be (and also kind of gross at times). This volume features the aftermath from a battle in previous issues. Some of the team are hospitalized, and one is dead. It takes a while before a story arc kind of kicks in, and we find new strange foodie powers, including a team that uses gelatin. Chew ends up fighting alone, or does he?
It's a weird mix of things: gross out food powers, strange new mashup words describing food powers, and vampires. I liked the art well enough, but it just takes too long for the story to kind of get going. I'd like to go back and re-read some of the early parts of the series.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
