page from East of West #11
Hickman and Dragotta reunited soon after their phenomenal Fantastic Four run to give us this Sci-Fi Western set in a alternate reality fractured dystopian United States where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the world’s only hope. It’s honestly just such a cool world to dive into and learn about.
Would recommend to sci-fi fans, comic fans, and those that just love world building.
A few of the major powers in the world:
The Union
The Endless Nation
The Kingdom
The People's Republic of America
pages from East of West: The World
Hickman is one of my favourite writers, easily!
1st: Black Monday Murders (not sci fi but so so good, I love occult stuff like this)
2nd: Decorum
4th=: Manhatten Projects and East of West
Given the success of Oppenheimer I’m surprised Manhattan Projects isn’t getting more love. I’d love a second volume of Decorum but you have to be patient with Hickman haha
Black Monday Murders is great - Mammon is my wallpaper at work, lol. But it needs more, sort of dropped off in the middle!
It was due to return but was delayed as the artist Tomm Coker was ill. But he’s recovered and I believe the art for the final third volume is done, so hopefully not too much longer to wait now!
