East of West: The Apocalypse Year One by Jonathan Hickman

5.0

What an amazing graphic novel! I’ve had this series on my radar for a while now, and the concept of the four horseman of the apocalypse in modern times with a multi nation America instantly grabbed me. The world building and history behind each of the seven nations felt fresh and not particularly done before. The overall arching story of the end times coming and different groups either trying to prevent or accelerate it, went in directions I didn’t expect and always kept me guessing. The artwork was stellar also which solidified this series and graphic novel as a definite 5/5 stars. I cannot wait to get into issues 16-30 in the next deluxe edition, which I can’t recommend enough.
