After the setup of previous issues, East of West #22 is a welcome adrenaline rush for the series. Read Full Review

You don't expect a Hickman written story to possess a minimalist approach, but this issue couldn't have come at a better time. This is war and we got the riskiest venture in that war so far with this issue. We don't know how it will affect the world of East of West, but it is an absolutely joy for the reader this month.

Issue #22 serves as a great stand-alone comic to fans of the series and those who have never read. The lack of dialogue makes Dragotta's artwork that much more powerful as he's able to singlehandedly convey one of the most exciting issues of the series.

One of the most common weaknesses in a silent issue is some of the panels need wordings, either dialogues and/or thought balloons. True, the ultimate page has one, but I believe that some of the panels should have one or three, especially the onomatopoeia of the wounded or the killed and the explosions at least. As usual in many, many great Image titles, this one possesses frontal nudities of a single character, that same target. Aside from the usual violence East of West readers are accustomed so well; those graphic illustrations are done within the context of the story, hence those exciting and heart-beating scenes. Nonetheless, East of West #22 is a growing evidence of Hickman's evolutionary transcendence as a comic writer and one of the few visual narratives that highly satisfactory achieves of a great silent comic chapter ever. So, the war that will "end" all wars is just in the horizons". Read Full Review

With the most bare minimum of dialogue, Hickman, Dragotta and Martin create a brutal, awesome and beautiful scene of violence that will hopefully resonate in the issues to come. Read Full Review
