Why I Bought It
Poyo!

No, seriously....Poyo!

What I Liked
Poyo!


I already enjoy Chew immensely. It was such a fun comic from the word go when I read the first trade. And this entire one shot is all about one of the best characters in the book, Secret Agent Poyo. Read the solicitation and you will get why you just sit back with this comic and have fun.

The best part is that this comic was more enjoyable than almost any other book I've read the past month. Everything from the art to the story just hit all the right notes and was spot on, goofy over the top-ness that you see all the time from the regular book.

We finish it off with some guest artist putting together some one page pin-ups to enjoy. I like seeing the other takes on the character, and they have their moments. I think my favorite was the Ben Templesmith one.


What I Didn't Like
Anything not Poyo!

Even if I try to break this comic down and come up with something that could have been done better, I realize that I simply can't do it. There not anything here to get upset about, and it has everything I want from the comic.

Panel to Remember
Poyo!

I love the moment when Poyo finds love, and then it is quickly taken from him. That look on his face is just ready for war.

Quotable
Poyo!

"Yeah fuckers. Poyo!!!"
