Chew Volume 11 - The Last Suppers, Volume 12 - Sour Grapes

 So much going on in these last two installments! Olive's continued, more traditional, training and her eccentric partner, Chu's wife Amelia's new novel and its implications in the alien scheme of things, Savoy's continued attempts to partner with Chu and share his knowledge (which ends in a fairly disgusting manner), and, once again, various assorted tangents.

The storyline concludes with this volume, as Chu partakes of Savoy's discoveries, Chu's sister's boss/boyfriend at NASA discovers numerous other worlds that have received the alien fire writing and what it means for the planet, we learn the explanation of the original "avian flu", Poyo continues to have adventures beyond the grave, Amelia gives the ultimate sacrifice which leads to Chu's grand sacrifice and the grand finale.

There are lots of crazy-ass tales being told throughout this series and innumerable scenarios that are way past improbable, but regardless, the story is complex (I feel I will have to re-read it all at least once more to catch everything) and compelling and the characters, although wacky, are often relatable with very human and very deep emotions. I'm sorry to see the storyline end, although there are offshoots that I will have to investigate!
