Hickman’s EAST OF WEST Vol. 5 Lands This Week!
Have you been reading EAST OF WEST? If you just answered yes, you win. If you answered no, it’s never too late to win. So get out to your local comic book shop and win already!
For those out of the loop, EAST OF WEST is an ongoing comic book series from Image written by Jonathan Hickman with art from Nick Dragotta. It is most commonly referred to as a Science-Fiction Western and it’s set in a dystopian version of the United States of America where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse roam the lands warning of the end of times. Hickman has created a richly crafted universe that is an absolute joy to learn about as the layers unfold. And Dragotta’s art is next level stuff bringing to life Hickman’s world and characters. Anyone who dares peek inside this book will instantly recognize the passion put into it by the creators. It’s truly one of my favorite titles on shelves at the moment.
And while I love to read single issues as they come out, I can safely recommend reading this in its collected trade paperback form. Here is what you can find on store shelves today including the most recent Volume 5 that just came out this week!
East of West, Volume 1: The Promise (issues #1-5)
This is the world. It is not the one we wanted, but it is the one we deserved. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse roam the Earth, signaling the End Times for humanity, and our best hope for life, lies in DEATH
East of West, Volume 2: We Are All One (issues #6-10)
The second volume of the most exciting new book in the industry is here! “We Are All One” follows our cast around the fractured future-scape of America as we learn more about a world that’s rapidly coming to a end.
East of West, Volume 3: There Is No Us (issues #11-15)
It’s the third volume of the Eisner-nominated EAST OF WEST. “There Is No Us” sees the breaking apart of the future-scape of America as the world races forward towards the apocalypse.
East of West, Volume 4: Who Wants War? (issues #16-19 + The World)
It’s the fourth volume of the Eisner-nominated, best-selling EAST OF WEST. “WHO WANTS WAR?” sees YEAR TWO of the Apocalypse kick into high gear.
East of West, Volume 5: All the Secrets (issues #20-24)
It’s the fifth volume of the Eisner-nominated, best-selling EAST OF WEST. ‘All These Secrets,’ is the twisting road of lies that will lead to armageddon.
Keep in mind that Image has extremely affordable trade paperback collections making it very easy to catch up quick. And I can confidently say EAST OF WEST is something you want to be caught up on.
