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

Atomic Robo! Not enough people talk about Atomic Robo.

Oh my God, I think it's in the free comic book day book, where Dr. Dinosaur is at the gun show, has to be one of my favorite pages of any comic ever.

Love me some Atomic Robo. I've been a fan of Brian Clevinger since the days of 8-Bit Theater.

One of my biggest scores was an original inked comic page from Savage Sword of Doctor Dinosaur.

Transmetropolitan remains my favourite by far. It's just so...chewy. It reminds me of 2000AD Dredd - panels overflowing with incidental details that show the city is alive. Spider is unrelenting and unrepresented.
