nigellicus 's review for:

Chew, Vol. 7: Bad Apples by John Layman
5.0

With the devastating tragedy of the last volume still jumping down on our feels, Tony Chu returns to work with a new drive and purpose and a determination to take no shot from nobody. meanwhile John Colby's life gets complicated in all sorts of interesting and hair-raising ways. The cult of the doomy chicken is on the rise, bring fearful death and destruction to chicken eaters; the Vampire is on the prowl, eating people and taking their powers, and the mystery of the fiery letters and the cause of the chicken flu still hang around uneasily in the background. This comic, wild and funny and cartoonish and surreal though it may be, has show it is more than willing to mess its characters, and its readers, up big time, and no-one is safe and oh yeah this is what suspense feels like.
