Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice by Rob Guillory, John Layman
3.0

I'm glad I finally read this after having it on my TBR for years and years, and I enjoyed it overall, but probably not enough to continue the series. The premise is super interesting but also really gross on a level I don't reach for often (I can handle blood and gore all day long, but eating rancid meat squicks me out on a wholly different level), and the art isn't very appealing — too much detail in too many small spaces with tiny text printing. On top of that, the world-building left something to be desired, and there's a weird under current of insta-love... Yeah, it was good, but not for me.
