Who Wants War? East of West Jonathan Hickman Nick Dragotta Books

East of West continues to be one of my favorite series. In this fourth volume, HIckman and Dragotta continue to expand their complex world, even going so far as providing maps and timelines. This series is a little bit western, a little bit alternate history, a little bit science fiction, a little bit near-apocalyptic dystopia, a little bit social, political, and religious commentary, and a whole lot of action.

The United States is not united in this story. The South, Texas, the Native Americans, and the Chinese all have a territory and do not get along. In fact, all-out war festers due to political and religious conflict. To complicate matters, Death rides the plain, separated from his Horsemen because they want to destroy one of the only things he cares about - his son.

Each volume reveals new depths of story, and characters become more and more complex as the series progresses. Though there is a multitude of characters, each is given a moment to shine, and each is fascinating.

The artwork is surprisingly simple, yet always dynamic. Each character has a distinct body language and "look." Death, in particular, always jumps off the page. The action flows from panel to panel, yet their is also a nuance to the scenes. You'll find little details in the most unexpected places.

This is a must-read series.

Who Wants War? East of West Jonathan Hickman Nick Dragotta Books Reviews

The story keeps trucking into bizarre territory. This volume focuses on Death's child, and his story line. If you've made it this far, just keep reading.
Shipped very well. No issues. Better than fufilment, not as fast though. Books were as described.
Great book in the series.
Just WOW!!! What a great read that keeps you on your toes and challenges your mind. Great artwork and complex stories. You feel connected to characters and want to kill others.
This is probably my favorite new comic series. Everything is great about it. There just needs to be more of it mini-series exploring the fascinating history of each land, some maps, character one-shots. More.
This on-going saga is a thoroughly badass take on the "End of Times" genre. It's cartoony, it's explosive, it's over the top at times. It asks tough questions and it paints an expansive picture of a horrifying future. There is hope for saving the world, and it's name is Death.
East of West, Vol. 4 continues the story of end times. It is 2065; Texas has fallen. War between the seven nations of America is imminent. Politics decide who is on whose side. Might and cunning decide who will survive. Of course, the Four Horsemen are around, as well. What are their goals, and how will they obtain them? The collection contains issues #16 through #19 – four issues instead of five – but it's still a lovely book.

I wasn't a huge fan of Vol. 3 until I learned how to read East of West. While Saga, Southern Bastards, and other Image titles have book-length arcs, East of West is best enjoyed issue by issue. Read one. Stop. Read another. That sort of thing. Hickman's writing is on point, but the highlight of the collection is Nick Dracotta's artwork, particularly in issue #16, which contains descriptions of the seven nations, along with a time line. Some might complain about the heavy written content, but well done, as in Lazarus issue #16 or this issue, it brings a lot to both the single issue and the collection. ****1/2
