Any fans of sci-fi comics here? East of West was such a cool world to delve into.

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
pages from East of West: The World
Yes, I made a post about comics too! Most of my bookshelf is graphic novels.
I love East of West. Apocalyptic western horror with some of the best art in any series.
Black Science
Atomic Robo
Paper Girls
Transmetropolitan
Saga
And not sci fi but
Monstress
Sandman
Lucifer
Darkness Visible
The Highest House
Lazarus
Are all so good.
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.
