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

    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!
