The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us. A Sci-Fi Western set in a dystopian America where all hope for the future rests in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...who just happen to be trying to kill the President of the United States. One of the most exciting new books of the year, this is EAST OF WEST, a brand new, ongoing, monthly comic from the award-winning team of Marvel's FF, JONATHAN HICKMAN and NICK DRAGOTTA.

The Four Horseman are always depicted as a solid team, metaphorical forces that always seem eye to eye. What if they didn't, though? What if the rest decided that Something needed to be done about one of their own? It's a fairly unique idea, and one that Jonathan Hickman is able to build a story out of that can only be described as a “rippin' yarn”.
Something I've noticed in a lot of Hickman's work is that he doesn't really care for exposition - you're dropped into a story and he assumes you'll be able to follow along until everything makes sense. That works well in his capes books, because they take place in worlds that readers are already familiar with. Here it's a little unsettling, because there's so much that we don't know about. I'm sure eventually that unsettled feeling will go away, but for now it's something to be aware of.
