And Layman survived the very, very excellent Emerald City Comic Con, vowing never to miss another. A lot of great fans introduced themselves, including Steve Moles, who is daring/insane enough to be the first person to get a CHEW tattoo (or, at least, to make it known to us.)

"This issue is kind of nuts, but I mean that in the best way possible."
--Comixtreme

"There's so much to gush about this series at this point that it's starting to feel somewhat ridiculous, yet the creators continue to churn out new and exciting concepts month after month, so, alas, the heaping of praise must continue."
--IGN.com

"This issue helps further solidify this title as one of the most well put together and cleverly designed books on the market, using prologues, flashbacks, story cuts, and artistic subtleties to tell a devestatingly effective story."
--Multiversitycomics.com

"This book is far from perfect, but it deserves points for overall improvement. "
