The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us. East of West is a Sci-Fi Western set in a dystopian America where all hope for the future rests in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…who just happen to be trying to kill the President of the United States.

A new series from the team of Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta, not only is the concept intriguing but the artwork is pretty cool too. Hickman is a master storyteller who creates epic adventures. Any creator owned series by him, and you can expect to be challenged and forced to think through interesting concepts and philosophical ideas. Usually that’s surrounded by some kick-ass action.

Since it’s announcement this series has been on my radar as one of the top new ones I’ve wanted to read. If it’s like all of Hickman’s past work, we’re in for a hell of a ride.

• East of West #1 – see above
• The Massive #10 – Why aren’t you reading the best comic on the market? Brian Wood knocks it out of the park each month with this series.
• Guardians of the Galaxy #1 – I’ve like the teases and Iron Man in space intrigues me. Brian Michael Bendis has been putting out some great books in Marvel NOW!. I’m expecting no less from this.
• Red Team #2 – Garth Ennis’ series follows a crooked police unit. The first issue was amazing. The second should be just as solid. Perfect for anyone into police drama.
• Mark Waid’s Green Hornet #1 – Mark Waid is one of the best writers out there right now. His take on heroes like Daredevil have been amazing. Now imagine that, but with Green Hornet. Yes please!
