Any fans of sci-fi comics here? East of West was such a cool world to delve into.

page from East of West #11
Hickman and Dragotta reunited soon after their phenomenal Fantastic Four run to give us this Sci-Fi Western set in a alternate reality fractured dystopian United States where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the world's only hope. It's honestly just such a cool world to dive into and learn about.
Would recommend to sci-fi fans, comic fans, and those that just love world building.
A few of the major powers in the world:
The Union
The Endless Nation
The Kingdom
The People's Republic of America
pages from East of West: The World
I think this was the first series I finished front to back. Got me into comics that had a finite length, unlike a lot of super hero comics.
Yeah, luckily, around the time I started to burn out on the endless events and reboots in Marvel and DC was when I feel like Image Comics really hit its stride. I wanna say early to mid 2010s(?) they really started branching out/expanding in what they published, and finding recognition and success—well, as much as comics can expect—for it.
Yeah! Saga, Invincible, The wicked + The divine, paper girls…
So many more that I still need to read. Montress, Deadly class, chew, rat queens, the department of truth, kick-ass…
Most of the stuff I read is from Image Comics. I too have the Marvel/Dc burnout.
Man, I loved Descender and Ascender. Beautifully drawn & great story!
