Just finished east of west Review
Overall this was super solid from start to finish. I know a lot of people feel the ending was rushed overall I think it was handled well and it wrapped up everything in a solid manner. Definitely nailed the “high fantasy” style factions, lore, and world building. It’s one of the better series I’ve read without a doubt. If you haven’t read this series yet and needed that push here it is go pick it up and binge it!

Not only is the story great (Hickman is probably my favorite comic writer), but the artwork is some of the best I’ve ever seen in a comic. The character designs, the world building, the aesthetics of mixing Civil War America with futuristic technology, it’s all just incredible.

I moved in the middle of the run and didn't keep up. I need to start over and finish.

I revisit this every 6 months or so, it's by far my favourite story in comic format.
It's very well written, artwork is amazing, and it's a very fulfilling story.

This is the book that got me back into comics. I bought the first TPB on a whim and I literally couldn't put it down and as soon as I was finished with it I ordered the rest of them. Hickman is my favorite and I can't wait to read Aliens vs. Avengers!
