Chew is pretty good. I'm also pretty far behind, so I will probably reread everything before I worry about getting caught up since it's all finished now, right?

You might have better luck starting with one of the later volumes and then going back to the beginning. The series has accumulatd a pretty interesting cast of characters over the years and I like some of them more than the core family. But at the end of the day it is always going to be a series primarily about family and that may just not be your bag.

I mean I know quality takes time but its sort of annoying

OMG I feel your pain, I have been waiting for the next volume of Umbrella Academy for a decade now, wtf.
Hiatus can be really annoying but if they're regularly scheduled in order to keep them manageagle (like Saga's 6 months on, 3 months off schedule) then I don't mind. Much better than a series coming out every month of the year but then going on indefinite hiatus because the creators got burned out or behind or something.
I think reading new comic series also helps with dealing with hiatuses
