Realized I‘ve fallen behind on sharing my reading choices for the 2018 Eclectic Readers Mad Libs Reading Challenge. For a “Place Name,” I‘ve decided to go with the comic book series “East of West.” I plan to read all seven trades for this one. Looking forward to diving back into this bizarre series. #ERMadLibs #EastOfWest #graphicnovels #comicbooks #readingchallenge

Pickpick

This second volume of East of West doesn't "Wow!" me as much as the first volume, but the quality of the story, world, and art remains excellent. You can feel the story building to something epic, but this volume doesn't provide that payoff. The best part of this volume is Death's encounter with the Oracle. Nick Dragotta's rendering of her makes her a truly twisted creation. I hope future volumes will show her backstory in greater detail.

For the first time, I'm struck by the design of the triangle. Is it made from four triangles to symbolize the Four Horsemen? And does that make the center triangle Death, the one going against the other three? I might be reading too much into it, but that seems to make sense. #EastOfWest #symbol #Death #FourHorsemen #apocalypse #JonathanHickman #NickDragotta #scifi #comicbook

"There is a time for righteous action. The season is short because given too much time, those who stand in judgment realize all men are flawed.

"Spend enough time with a star on your chest and you lose the ability to see people--you stop seeing them and only see their actions and the motivations behind them."

Don't have my copy of Hex with me tonight, so I'm reading volume two of East of West. The first volume really took me by surprise, so eager to see what this next volume is like. #comicbook #EastOfWest #JonathanHickman #NickDragotta
