East of West #29

East of West #29 ends with a callback to one of the first lines of the series, as we are once again reminded that “The dream is dead.” It's a sharp, powerful little moment that propels us forward into a signaturely uncertain future. It also, along with the entire preceding issue, serves to remind me that another dream that East of West will continue its high level of quality through a fifty issue run is very much alive.

This issue wraps up the second act of Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta's epic saga. It does in very satisfying fashion by delivering one of the major, long-awaited moments this series has been building towards for some time. Read Full Review

East of West ends year two in spectacular fashion and the ending is like the beginning as we spin towards year three. Hickman and Dragotta are still making a great book. What a time to be alive. Read Full Review

It starts to grate when you've been fed a tale with the same attitude towards audience satisfaction for over three years and little hope of an end in sight. Here's hoping “Year Three” does something to change that. Read Full Review
