Chu's sister makes a more substantial appearance this time, introducing us to Area 51.

We also get to know two new types of characters: A Voresoph becomes smarter the more he eats. Daniel Migdalo is a Voresoph. A still partly unidentified power is to control people through food. Peter Pilaf has this power.

From this point on this review will be somewhat similar to my review of the previous one in the series so be warned.

As usual the tale is action packed, zany in humor at times and complex. I love how the panels have main things taking place but looking in the background reveals more. Now, as far as some of the special terms go here's a bit of a list: (1) a Saboscrivner can write about food so accurately that people get the sensation of taste when they read about the food. Amelia Mintz is a Saboscrivner; (2) a Cibopath can take a bite from anything and get a psychic sensation of what has happened to that object. The only thing it does not work on is beets. Tony Chu, Toni Chu, Olive Chu, Mason Savoy, and The Vampire are Cibopaths; and (3) a Cibolocuter is able to communicate through food, and can also translate written works like plays, poems and operas into their food. Fantanyeros is a Cibolocuter.

In March 2011 it was revealed that Showtime is going to turn this into a half hour comedy series. The first three issues of Chew have all sold out multiple printings with the first issue receiving four printings as well as being reprinted in black and white in The Walking Dead #63. The first issue was so popular that it was called one of Image's most acclaimed titles, and was reprinted again in the first wave of the Image First line. Critical reception has been mostly positive. IGN gave the first issue a 9.5 out of 10 and the subsequent issues 9.0, 9.1 and 8.8 respectively. Chew Vol. 1: Taster's Choice[29] and Chew Vol. 2: International Flavor have both been on the New York Times Bestsellers List. Chew ended up on several Best of 2009 lists, including IGN's Best Indie Series of 2009 (beating The Walking Dead and Bad Dog) and MTV Splashpage's Best New Series of 2009. Chew was also #4 on ComicBookResources.com's Best 100 Comics of 2009 list. On July 23, 2010, Chew won the Eisner Award for Best New Series. Chew also won two 2010 Harvey Awards (Best New Series and Best New Talent)and was nominated for, but did not win, two 2010 Eagle Awards (Favourite New Comicbook and Favourite American Colour Comicbook).

I love Chew, and this volume was a great example of the best aspects of the series. Each issue has a self-contained story, but there is something of a linking device in that bizarre fiery writing floats in the sky in the background of each story (many of the plot points relate to the strange writing, but not all). Layman also takes some time in these issues to spin out more foodie wierdos (a kid who is able to influence behavior through his cooking, a voresoph who is superhumanly brilliant but o...more

Seriously, will I ever put this series down? Every time I pick up a volume from John Layman’s Eisner Award and Harvey Award winning series “Chew,” things just keeps getting crazier and more interesting than ever before! In this volume, “Chew: Flambé,” things get even more crazy for Tony Chu and John Colby as there is a panic going on in the United States when strange alien letterings suddenly show up in the sky!

The world has changed. And things aren’t normal for Tony Chu, the cibopathic FDA agent with the ability to get psychic impressions from the things he eats...well ok things are stranger than normal. Strange extraterrestrial writing has mysteriously appeared in the sky all around the planet Earth. Is it the end of the world? No one is quite sure, but they do know that they don’t care too much about the laws of the FDA anymore. And they’ll eat as much chicken as they can. Meanwhile Tony is sent to investigate seemingly random crimes that turn out to related to the writing in the sky. Meanwhile Mason Savoy is doing everything he can to unravel the mystery of the writing in the sky.

I first came across the world of “Chew” earlier this year and instantly I fell in love with it. I mean how can you not love a world where the main character can take a taste of anything and instantly know where it came from? And where chickens are outlawed? This comic series has such great characters, interesting storylines, and fantastic artwork. I love the stories in this issue, especially the interaction between Tony and his daughter Olive as they question Olive about the deadly rampage at the school. And then later on we get to see the interaction between Tony and his sister. There’s just so much jam packed into this collection that I just want to go back and read it again and again to pick up on the details that I missed the first time around.

The artwork in this series is one of it’s strengths. The characters are well designed and instantly recognizable and they give them fun little details that you can latch onto, like the expressions on the characters faces, which are one of my favorite aspects of the series. You can see the revulsion on Tony’s face as he has to taste things (and the look of revulsion on other characters faces) and Olive’s expressions as her “Uncle John” asks her about her “boyfriend” Peter Pilaf. They capture that feeling very well. I also love the sense of color in the series, using it to highlight and show when Tony’s viewing something in the past. Fantastic illustrations.

I flat out love this series and can’t wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend this series to…well anyone. Go and pick up any of the collected editions and catch up on the world of Tony Chu.(less)

In all honesty, this is a 3.5. I'm just giving it the benefit of that extra half, because darn if Chew isn't one of the most delightful comics I've ever read.
To start with, the idea behind it is marvelous. A "cibopathic" detective, who can summon the history of a thing just by eating it (in this case, all too often leading to the consumption of body parts)? I'm sold.

Book 3 ended with much promise of character growth. I won't go into too much to avoid spoilers, but we learned much about Tony Chu that we didn't know before. This led me to believe that collection 4 would be more character-driven. I was greatly disappointed, though, as they just went through more gory adventures. The only redeeming parts were the return of Poyo, the ladies of the USDA, and the newly powered dude who was introduced and then killed off in the first chapter.

Chapter 1: The "alien writing" in the sky continues, and nobody knows what to make of it. Enforcing the chicken prohibition has taken a back seat, so Chu and Valenzano go to investigate a missing FDA agent who happens to be voresophic: he seems to be near omniscient so long as he's eating. When they find him he's the size of the house, and he soon meets an untimely death, going splat in the middle of the street. Toni is bumped up to top level security at NASA.

That's right, a new volume of the best damn original comics series going at the moment is out and that means one thing for a review about it - load up the superlatives! Fantastic storytelling, pitch perfect writing, gorgeous artwork, and an utterly compelling and wonderfully realised world in which these funny, clever, and downright brilliant stories take place in - that's the least I could say about "Chew".

Where last we left our heroes, mysterious flame writing had encircled Earth, we'd been introduced to Tony Chu's family, Mason Savoy was still on the loose, and the mystery of the gallsaberry was still unanswered. Well, not to give too much away but this isn't the volume that answers all of those questions. Really it teases out these storylines hinting at a larger, more intricate structure to follow in the future books.

Instead, we are introduced to a voresophic (you'll find out) with a massive secret, Tony Chu's daughter Olive witnesses a bizarre hostage taking at her high school, Tony and his sister Toni go to Area 51, Tony and John infiltrate a strange cult based around the flame writing in the sky, and a cover mission to China results in a callback for a brilliant character in past books making another appearance.

The stories are all great fun to read, not least because John Layman is a terrific writer who seems to be loving the writing of this series, each issue seems to have an energy and inventiveness to it that throws everything into the mix to create something volatile and interesting. Rob Guillory's art gets better with each book and "Flambe" is the best example of his work yet. His style is instantly recognisable but so natural, he flows from comedy to action to drama to mystery with ease. Kudos also for coming up with a genius way of laying out a phone conversation in comic panels, it's so simple yet I've never seen it done this way before.

The only bad thing I will say about this is that one book isn't enough, it just whets your appetite for the next book which will likely be out in 8-9 months time. And that's what sucks about discovering an amazing series like this while it's still being written - the waiting! If only I'd found this when it's done 9-10 books (as I'm sure it'll go) then I could've sat down for a sublime 10 course meal of these books. Oh well, at least I found it, and so did you if you're reading this! Another fantastic addition to this series, "Flambe" doesn't disappoint, read it, love it, great comic book, keep cooking them up guys! (less)

This is one of the best comics currently being published, I might even say the best. It certainly beats any of the superhero series I'm reading. You're missing out if you haven't started it yet.

Applebee has discovered an easy way to get rid of Tony and John: send them off on nutty missions in which they will most likely get killed (or pass them off to another division, whatever works). Not too hard; nutty missions are a dime a dozen in the Chew universe. This time around they have to handle a food-based hostage situation at a local high school (in which a number of students kill each other during a food fight); tag along on a dangerous USDA mission to North Korea with man-hating, buxom USDA agents; help out Tony's sister on an undercover NASA mission at Area 51; and infiltrate an anti-chicken cult. All this while bizarre alien writing encircles the sky around Earth and FDA law enforcement looses funding and prestige to NASA research. I don't recall there being a single page that I didn't find something to laugh about, whether it was Tony and John's hysterical chemistry, something ridiculous like Poyo the killer chicken, or the slogans and signs on the walls (are the authors Jhonen Vasquez fans?). I was happy to see Mason Savoy running around doing his Sean Connery thing in this volume, and that Olive Chu is back (wearing cute Threadless t-shirts) and apparently here to stay. We also get to meet a new type of food spook, a "voresophic", who gets smarter the more he eats. You'll be scared, then laugh uncontrollably.

I'm in love with Rob Guillory's art just as much as I'm in love with John Layman's writing. Luckily, I don't have to choose between the two. (Teehee!) There's always something interesting or funny to look at in every panel. His whimsical, cartoon-y style reminds me of the best old "Looney Tunes" episodes. It seems like many comic book artists struggle (or pass over) facial expressions, which are key to conveying a character's personally and emotional state. But Guillory has 'em down to a fine art and they're funny as hell. Chew would look fantastic animated, don't you think? Maybe on Adult Swim, between "Venture Bros" and "Metalocalypse"?

At this point the story has progressed beyond simply being about Agent Tony Chu trying to enforce a government ban on chicken while tracking down his former partner. Now there are aliens, weird fruit, microbes, and a giant chunk missing from the side of the planet. Where this going and how it will tie in with chicken is still a mystery. But I'm totally in for the ride.(less)

Perhaps it has been a while since I last read the previous volumes, but for some reason, I couldn't get my head into the plot this time. Sure, Tony and his partner's antics got me a couple of laughs, and the strange writings that look a lot like numbers kept me guessing, but I felt that the ending was wrapped up simple and quick (though the craziness I liked) and I did not see as much character development as I had hoped for. I'm looking forward to the next volume nonetheless.

Tony Chu's adventures as an agent for the FDA in a slightly dystopian future remain amusing. Unlike other volumes this one feels like a bunch of single stories strung together, instead of aprt of the ongoing arc. The trademark dark humor remains. The odd views of the world where eating chicken is outlawed (the all female USDA and its covert ops team). And, Poyo. Really words don't do Poyo justice without revealing a huge spoiler.

In a world rife with detective stories, this one is actually refreshing, as long as you have a strong stomach. The concept of a detective that learns about victims by eating a piece of them isn't what I would call my favorite genre; however, the writing and illustration are extremely strong. The plot gets even more absurd and there are a lot of hidden visual treats in this trade volume. The kung-fu chicken strikes again.

This is super-weird and such a fun ride. I love Guillory's illustrations and Layman's riffs on bird flu, family relationships, space invaders, super-hero birds, and strange talents. It's true (as some other reviewers have said) that the stories don't seem well-connected, but if you go in not expecting to understand very much or get satisfying resolutions in Vol 4, this will still be highly enjoyable.

As with the late, lamented Exterminators, Chew initially looked like a series whose high concept, brilliant as it was, might not be enough to sustain a long run. And then it chucked in bonkers idea after brilliant idea, all of them somehow nonetheless maintaining a consistency of tone, and even a certain warped logic. And unlike The Exterminators, Chew is selling very well. I'm glad.

Part of the thrill of following a comic book story is how far each story teases the realm of ridiculousness.

So much so I'm going to subscribe to get the issues as they come out from Image.

Pourvu que la série poursuive ce rythme et cette qualité, et que le plan soit suivi et nous apporte une belle fin.

Quotes from Chew, Vol. 4: Flambé

“This is Poyo. Poyo was exposed to a near-lethal amount of radiation as an egg, during the first stages of a government experiment to create mutant super soldiers--trained in exotic martial arts technique by Tibetan Kung Fu fightin' monks--and given strange bio-enhancements during a rash of farm animal abductions by extra-terrestrials.
