Writer John Layman has been slowly rolling out characters because he did not want Chew to be overly complicated. Caesar Valenzano first appeared on the last page of issue #2. Two more characters that still need to be introduced will be show in issue #15. Each issue makes you go back and reread the previous issues to find the hidden Easter eggs within. One of the most creative and innovative series in a very long time.
