    A spectacular comic to end the series, the year, and even the decade. East of West has been a prime example of perfect storytelling and this ending proves why this creative team are one of the best working in the business today. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill

    Dec 26, 2019

    This issue isn't just a perfect closer to an outstanding series, it's the perfect opener for the next decade. It has all the style you could want from a comic and even more substance. East of West #45 is the last chapter of a comic book world and it makes that world anew. Beautiful and enriching, if I could give this an 11/10, I would. Read Full Review

    East Of West #45 sticks the landing. At first read, it feels like something is missing from the book, but the more one thinks about the various endings, the more perfect they feel. Read Full Review

    predictable, but a satisfying ending nonetheless. I'm gonna miss this amazing world that Hickman and Dragotta have drawn up, and the fascinating story that went along with it. Throughout the 6 years of this series, it never really let down in quality despite Hickman's work with Marvel taking a lot of precedent, and that's truly a feat in my opinion. I don't think there was a truly wasted character that didn't get a good arc, and it was just very nice to see a series end off without any other kind of tease or leadup for the next thing (cc descender). I know Hollywood has been eyeing this series for a TV show, and honestly, this would be a hit, especially with so much world building and interesting characters. This series is right up t more

    Hickman may not be my type of writer since Im in the minority, but overall I thought this series was solid and had good main characters. It jumps all around the place, but I enjoyed it. People should read it when they have the time, it took me a couple of re-reads.

    A decent, if predictable, send off to an incredible world. What Hickman lacks in character development and scene setting, he more than makes up for in world building, lore, and imagination.
