EAST OF WEST #1 SELLS OUT
First issue of Hickman/Dragotta series gets new printing
EAST OF WEST #1, the premiere issue of the apocalyptic Western by Jonathan Hickman (THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS) and
Nick Dragotta,
has sold out the same day as its release on March 27. It will receive a
second printing (Diamond Comics code FEB138443), going on shelves in
stores on April 24, the same day as EAST OF WEST #2.
The
best-selling debut of Hickman-penned Image Comics series to date, EAST
OF WEST #1 introduces readers to a world on the verge of collapse where
incarnations of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse roam a sprawling
landscape and all signs point to an inglorious end.
In contrast to the spiraling fate of humankind depicted in its pages, the beginning of EAST OF WEST has been a critical triumph:
"East of West is astonishing. Something that may reset the bar by which all other comics are tested.”
"Hickman
accomplishes here what other writers might spend a whole series
building up, which leaves the door wide open for this imaginative story
to go east and west and then north and south, to boot.”
- IGN
"The
series is still new, but I wonder whether it's a glimpse at our
nation's sins made manifest. A bald depiction of the scarlet letter
forever branded on America, not for adultery, but for human bondage and
derision. Or maybe it's just a cool, nihilistic revenge saga.”
"...this is a comic that could just possibly blow your mind.”
