page from East of West #11

Hickman and Dragotta reunited soon after their phenomenal Fantastic Four run to give us this Sci-Fi Western set in a alternate reality fractured dystopian United States where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the world’s only hope. It’s honestly just such a cool world to dive into and learn about.

Would recommend to sci-fi fans, comic fans, and those that just love world building.

A few of the major powers in the world:

The Union

The Endless Nation

The Kingdom

The People's Republic of America

    Yes, I made a post about comics too! Most of my bookshelf is graphic novels.

    I love East of West. Apocalyptic western horror with some of the best art in any series.

    Black Science

    Atomic Robo

    Paper Girls

    Transmetropolitan

    Saga

    And not sci fi but

    Monstress

    Sandman

    Lucifer

    Darkness Visible

    The Highest House

    Lazarus

    Are all so good.

        Oh my God, I think it’s in the free comic book day book, where Dr. Dinosaur is at the gun show, has to be one of my favorite pages of any comic ever.

      Transmetropolitan remains my favourite by far. It’s just so…chewy. It reminds me of 2000AD Dredd - panels overflowing with incidental details that show the city is alive. Spider is unrelenting and unrepresented.
