Bitingly funny and deliciously dark, this latest entry in the Eisner Award–winning Chew series serves up another incredible story line. Federal agent Tony Chu’s cibopathic powers are still in full force, and the more he uncovers about a mysterious chicken-worshipping cult, the more the people he cares for are put in danger. If Layman’s sprawling saga of a world where bird flu killed millions and chicken is outlawed is the meal, then Guillory’s mix of graphic and wild imagery is the plating. Layman’s narrative is like nothing else in comics right now, stuffed with rich prose and citizens with special abilities. A perfect match of larger-than-life premise and exaggerated biology, Guillory’s characters leap across panels in gory action sequences and eerily stand out in peaceful spreads. Weak of stomach shouldn’t crack the spine, but fans of Jason Aaron’s Scalped (2007), Robert Kirkman’s Marvel Zombies (2007), or Jonathan Hickman’s East of West (2013) should take a big, heaping bite. --Ben Spanner

Aw, man, this is a tough review to write because I love Chew - but this book is the first one I would say is average at best instead of out and out fantastic like the rest of the series has been. I suppose it had to happen, no series is flawless (except for Jason Aaron and RM Guera's Scalped).
The story so far: Tony's sister Toni has been killed by the cibopathic vampire who seems to be preparing for a full-on war, and Tony is out for revenge. Meanwhile the egg worshippers who're somehow connected to the fire writing in the sky, the Divinity of the Immaculate Ova, also seem to be knuckling down for some crazy combat and won't shut up about the end of the world. Meanwhile Tony and Colby are back with the FDA and ready to kick some ass! LET'S DO IT!...
...except they don't.
John Layman could explore at least one of those interesting storylines in this book but chose instead to spin his wheels - that is, do nothing. Instead Tony throws himself into his work so there are numerous episodes of Tony taking on the egg worshippers (who've taken hostages at food places more than once in this book) and he takes them out using the baseball skills he honed earlier in the series (also more than once in this book).
There's a tense and abstract dinner scene between Tony and the head vampire who murdered his sister Toni though that's as far as Tony gets in pursuing his sister's killer. Fair enough, if we're saving the vampire for a later climax, what about the egg worshippers or the fire writing - can we get more into that? But no, it's teased that we'll find out about them in this book but don't. The high priestess of the cult pops up more than once, says some more doom prophecies, and then disappears again.
