 Definitely tasty July 17, 2010

Some of the wacky elements aren't as eye-popping as in the first book, which is to be expected since we are getting used to the mechanic of this fictional world. However, it still makes a highly engrossing read, and there are plenty of unique humorous moments that makes the book really worth buying and rereading.
For me, one of the highlight in this volume is Chu's returning old partner who doesn't only supply the story with load of hilarious conversation whenever he appears, but also willing to go a surprising distance to help Chu in a way that NO ONE would have expected.
In short, buy this volume and wait for the next one. The amazing course is far from getting less delicious.
Just as tasty as the first trade. July 19, 2010

The first Chew trade was really entertaining, and the second trade does not dissappoint. Back are some returning characters from the first storyline and some new ones that are involved in the second storyline. I dont want to ruin any of the story by spoiling anything so my review will be short. I feel one of the best image titles out there today, great art and an interesting and compelling storyline. I wish the quality of the book might be a tad higher but thats my only complaint. It seems most companies are making cheaper trades as of late. I bought mine at the comic store and It was hard to find a copy that didnt have some kind of cover bending and folds. So be warned you might want to buy it at a store that you can look at the book in person, it seems like it is easily damaged in shipping.
Still Going Strong July 25, 2010

This series was off to a great start. It was a completely fresh idea that was well executed and well illustrated. Most titles tend to lose their appeal after the first story arc but Chew did not. It is still going strong with new characters and fresh ideas. If you are squeamish at the idea of blood or gore in a comic, then this book is not exactly for you, even though the levels of violence and gore are minimal and done in a cartoonish way. If you would like to hear more reviews check out my Podcast at [...] or just type in "comixcenter" into iTunes to find it.
 Fun read June 27, 2010

CHEW VOL: 2 is a good read. It's got over-the-top, enjoyable characters who are all very interesting. The plot line is silly but fun, and even a bit heartwarming at times. The art isn't anything super special, but it matches the mood and feel of the story.
Overall, it's nothing that transcends it's genre, but that doesn't keep it from being a solid read especially if you enjoy goofy comics.
The only thing I have against this specific volume of CHEW that I didn't really notice in VOL: 1 is the story jumps around a lot and while it isn't exactly to hard to follow it can be a bit distracting. But it wasn't bad enough to really effect the rating I give it.
Really, if you enjoy Image stuff like INVINCIBLE or THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN, you'll like this too.
I give it a B-
A fun and entertaining read July 12, 2010

Ever since I read Chew Volume 1, I have been eagerly awaiting the second volume. In my opinion, it does not disappoint. I am a fan of the art style of this series and I also think the premise is genius. If you are the sort of person who is grossed out at the idea of a protagonist that bites corpses, this probably isn't the right series for you. If you find such things entertaining, like I do, then go ahead and place your order now.
I love graphic novels that have a lot of little details in each frame and this one does just that. In addition to an already entertaining (and yes, ridiculous) storyline, I have a lot of fun examining each illustration and spotting the funny posters, books, and labels the illustrator has added. If you pick this one up, be sure to take your time and look at all the details on each page.
