"THE KINGDOM ENDURES"-The King of New Orleans picks a side.
Of course I can't just compliment the writing without showing some love for Nick Gradottas' artwork. It's as strong as always and his work never seems to be anything but perfection. But I can't just throw the artwork some love either because it's complimented by Frank Martins ingenious coloring. East of West is an all around amazing series and this issue is an amazing issue that we got some big payoff in. Read Full Review
Exactly the kind of issue that sets "East of West" head and shoulders above the crowd. Read Full Review
I wouldn't have thought I would love East of West so much with Death and the Beast absent from the book for this long, but the creators have done such painstakingly great work in building such a fascinating world, that the war between the factions has been so entertaining. By the time we get to Death and the Beast, the world may look very different than how they left it. Read Full Review
Overall that is a small price to pay for such an in-depth epic that is East of West. Nick Dragotta continues his career work on this series. Here he provides a visual scope to the massive chaos occurring in the riots, while keying on some key acting moments like the final panel that is full packed with poignant emotion. It keys into a well-executed bookend that fully enunciates the power of this issue. Read Full Review
You really have to admire this series' ability to include, significant, meaningful developments in each new issue. Even if it often takes months for any given character to cycle back into the dense narrative, no chapter feels wasted or out of place. Read Full Review
So beautifully written and draw. It's insane how Hickman develop his characters, given to each one a small arc of their own while developing the whole plot of the series. East of West is a stand out and one of the best comics in the industry.
I love this series and EAST OF WEST #33 is a perfect example why.
SCORE: 9
Strong issue of "East of West," with the framework of burning leaders, and different reasons why. Because of the nature of this book, the depth of this world, I sometimes feel I am missing something I might get by rereading a whole pile of previous issues, or that this might read better in trade, but it doesn't feel this way here. Nick Dragota's art is, as always, spectacular. "East of West" continues to remain interesting as it marches along.
