East of West: The Apocalypse Year Two Hardcover – March 28, 2017

At last, Year Two has arrived. This second installment is every bit as creative and original as the first. I hesitate to even hint at spoilers (even though most of you have read all the trades), so I won't discuss the content of the book other than to say it is positively perfect. Jonathan Hickman has continued the story of the apocalypse in a logical, yet unpredictable way. This is definitely an edition to have on your shelf.Also, I would certainly recommend reading the first volume before moving on to this one. Although this is a great story, even standing alone, it is much better enjoyed after having read the first book in the series.Finally, Amazon sells this for $20 less than MSRP, so this is definitely the place to get it. Unless of course you want to support your local comic shop; there's no shame in that.

If you havent started reading East of West, go and pick up the first book RIGHT NOW. If you've already finished that, then this is a great place to continue. It collects the next 4 volumes in one book. The pages are very well produced, the art is top notch already and having them in a larger format is even more visually pleasing.

I can't say enough in praise of this. The story is epic, violent, and full of apocalyptic drama. The art is even better - even more dramatic, delightfully lurid at times, and brings the characters to life.This series is among the best!

Gorgeous collection. Well priced for what you get. Stunning on the shelf. Hickman is the best.

Hickman and Dragotta continue to impress in EOW: Year Two. The pacing is fast, the art is gorgeous, and the colors leap off the pages. Easily one of Image's best ongoing titles; if you're a fan of sci-fi, westerns, fantasy, adventure--or any sub-genre of the latter--pick up this book!

I loved the art and the story, the book still going strong if you still didn't start with East of West what are you waiting for ?

Briliant

Hickman should be in the Pantheon of Apocalyptic Fiction.

Tengo varios comikazos de Imagecomis: los 2 de East of West, los 2 de Saga, Southern Bastards y los 2 de Deadly Class... MARAVILLOSO, MARAVILLOSOS.Si sacaran en España estas mismas ediciones de lujo, seguro que son de un tamaño reducido y costarían el doble (como la de Fábulas de ECC)

Talvez no primeiro volume você fique um pouco perdido com todas as tramas e personagens se interligando nesse fantástico mundo de East of West. Mas se você venceu o primeiro HC e gostou do que leu, pode reclinar a poltrona porque neste segundo volume a coisa fica ainda melhor.Sem ter que se preocupar em apresentar os milhares de conceitos dessa série, Hickman e Dragotta podem brincar ainda mais com todas as peças desse enorme tabuleiro. E além disso, a dupla consegue trabalhar e aprofundar a caracterização de seus personagens. Não tem como não simpatizar com o garoto Babylon e seu companheiro Ballon, por exemplo, ou então se surpreender com o guinada dada a Ezra, o guardião da "Mensagem".East of West é com certeza uma das HQs mais excitantes que eu li nos últimos tempos. A única coisa ruim é saber que o terceiro volume ainda não está disponível pra ler...

One of my favourites!

As with the first volume this is a brilliant book, I thought a lot of reviews said the plot was hard to follow...personally I think it's dead easy to follow but I'm reading these big volumes not the smaller versions so maybe over months and with more comics its harder to remember who's knifing who in the back? Better to assume they all are ALL THE TIME.This volume mostly follows what I'd call the crowd favourites a tad more, more of John Freeman and the Southern dude. Less of the horsemen and less of death/mao. Personally I don't like the Mao stuff at all. It seems a jammed in 6th party when the other 5 parts are all part of the US history. I think the current "China 2nd biggest economy" has brought them into the book where for me a natural 6th party would be Mexican or Hispanic in some way...Resurgent Aztec Mexico would make more sense than an off shoot Chinese faction that somehow got passed Imperial Japan. But maybe I'm biased as Mao seemed untouchable and therefore her parts become boring because you don't ever feel she's in danger.Babylon adds a good twist to the story, it's very clever how the balloon is written to often be truthful and they play really well against each other. Their parts seem like they take the most time to write as they're playing mind chess against each other all the time.

Qualidade ótima, gráfica e da história em si!
