The cover of this 10th volume pretty much say what eventually happened here. Although it felt a bit rushed, at least, one major plotline in Chew has been resolved. The whole crew is up and running again (except one, but technically, he's still part of the group). D-Bear in particular is a breakaway character here by the way. 
 I kinda thought that what Toni told Tony on how to beat The Collector will still linger for a while, but this volume revealed it, humorously and straightforwardly. Moreover, the plotline that concluded here seemed more of a climax for Chew since all of the characters are emotionally invested with this story. This might be an indication that the last 10 issues will be more of a wrap-up arc than a climax, something that will resolve the fire writings in space.
