This issue of East of West revealed a bit more of the conceipt of this story. It is interesting and reminds me of something like Y: The Last Man mixed with something… way grimmer. The art is wonderful and brutal by Nick Dragotta. I’m not sure who the “hero” of this book is yet, but that may be the point. Jonathan Hickman is revealing this story in a way that answers one question and raises many others.

I am less enthused for this series as I was at the end of the first issue. I’m not totally sure Hickman’s writing style is something I completely enjoy. It may be amazing to some people, I know it is, but sometimes things just don’t connect. We’ll see, I’m pretty sure I’m sticking with this series a bit longer to see if it can dig its nails into me.
