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

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…

Man, I loved Descender and Ascender. Beautifully drawn & great story!

Most of the stuff I read is from Image Comics. I too have the Marvel/Dc burnout.
