Great review! I always think of Hickman being in between Geoff Johns, who has long term plans but without being as complex as Hickman, and Grant Morrison, who really pulls on old strings while creating stories with complexity and reward through rereading. Hickman is, however, the KING of epic dialogue. That last page of year one was chilling.

Watched your Hellboy, Scalped and Punisher reviews and finally subscribed to your channel after this review. You got good taste sir. Great review.

I forgot to mention. Yes the paper stock is really thin. To the point where it was getting a bit wavy. It's not terrible but it's something to note.

@danbamo1491 9 жыл бұрын

Hardcover Reviews Thanks a lot for the review, you are the man! I have been following East of West since the beggining, so I was waiting patiently for this hc. You just said the wavy pages arent so terrible, so I trust and pick this hc. Or do you think they will fix that problem in a near future? As always, thanks for the help, you are getting better and better with each video.

Wavying of paper is caused by light/temperature/humidity/air flow variations, but it is normal unless you have the propper microclimate conditions, which can be expensive and complicated to attain. However, if you are interested in the topic, there are a number of documents by the UNESCO on conservation and restoration of printed materials.

I picked this up at my public library recently. They have a regular/adult graphic novel section and a YA graphic novel section. The crazy thing is they had East of West in the YA graphic novel section lol

Picked this up on a blind buy and was pleasantly surprised. I agree with you and some other reviews that say the first few issues are a bit hard to follow at first, but Hickman does a good job setting up plots. Also love the art by Dragotta.

Great video! I've never even heard of this title but you have me convinced to look out for it now :). Sorry, but I've also noticed DC has made a ton of solicitations recently and this has made me very confused. Do you know any websites to in-confuse me? :)

I first read the 1st trade in digital, then bought an used one today and read it again. Now that I actually saw the art "live" I'm probably gonna resell, or gift away the trade and will buy this hardcover.

Hi. I might have overheard that part if you mentioned it, but can you tell me what's the difference between this edition and the ordinary paperback volume one? besides the cover. Thank you

In my opinion, the greatest indie comic series of all time is 100 Bullets. But what genre of reading are you into?

Is this edition as big as the Deadly Class deluxe edition or it is smaller?

@aarondev3218 7 жыл бұрын

Youz7n its smaller. About 100-200 pages smaller🤔

@Youz7n 7 жыл бұрын

I mean the dimensions. The deluxe edition of Deadly Class is 8x12" (bigger than most of editions that there are in Spain, and now I'm buying english editions, way cheaper and better). But i cant find the measures of this one and I wanted to know. Thanks for the reply anyways :)

@aarondev3218 7 жыл бұрын

Youz7n Oh. East of West is 7.4x1.3x11.1 and Deadly Class is 8.2x1.7x12.3 inches.

Death and the War dynamic is fascinating. Those two are my faves as far as the Four Horsemen go. Death tops it out though cause he has fallen in love with Lady Mao, which is the whole reason he turned his back on the other three horsemen.

Just read year one for the second time and meh. Art is good writing is ok. I’m not impressed at all. It just doesn’t hit home. I don’t get that I want to finish this feeling or I can’t wait to see what’s on the next page. I yawn a lot and get tired reading this. It’s lacking character drive and story drive IMO.
