In EAST OF WEST, Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta are showing us what it looks like when the Four Horsemen become Three and Death goes walkabout. Blending stunning art and a story that consistently surprises with each new wrinkle, EAST OF WEST has quickly turned into one of the most buzzed-about books of the year.

Families control the world, and each Family’s Lazarus is a person who serves to guard the Family from threats, whether they be from within or without. Rucka and Lark, hot off the finale of their first arc, are here and ready to answer your questions about the world that’s coming, the roots of the science in the series, and just how tough it can be to imagine what tomorrow looks like.
