Babylon learns about the world at his father's side.
Another great issue of East of West that keeps this war entertaining and unpredictable. There's not many books that have kept a story like this fresh and engaging while navigating in the same story. Read Full Review
The issue becomes a striking meditation on power, resistance and the way simple actions can have far-reaching consequences. The script is made all the more effective by its focus on a group of new characters whose fates are uncertain and not bound by any real rules. Read Full Review
Hickman at his finest! Great dialogue and action! What an ending!
I'm a big fan of superheros. That's not to say I don't read a bit of everything but "independent" books, that aren't part of a shared universe with twenty other books, usually end up being read in trade. That said...I can't trade wait EAST OF WEST. I love this book. While Year Two of The Apocalypse (capital "T", capital "A" for those uninitiated) had done slower moments, Year Three has been amazing. Issue #31, focusing on a group of characters we've never met, may be the best issue in months. It was cross-section of everything that works so well together to make this book...sci-fi political action vs. apocalyptic western...it's so damn good.
