East of West Volume 10

Series Info/Source: This is the 10th (and final) volume in the East of West graphic novel series. I bought this book. Story (5/5): Xiaolian and Chamberlain face off and much is lost on both sides. Meanwhile the three horsemen face off with Death. This was my favorite book of the series and really wrapped up things nicely. This is just a very nice and complete ending and was much more “feel good” and cohesive than I expected. Characters (5/5): I continue to enjoy a lot of these characters but Death, Xiaolian and Babylon remain my favorites. I loved that some characters got exactly what they deserved and others got the forgiveness they deserved. I adored how things ended up with Babylon. It's actually a bit hard to talk about the characters without spoilers, but they remain in keeping with the rest of the series. Setting (5/5): I continue to really enjoy this detailed alternate history United States, the world building in this whole series was amazing. Writing/Drawing Style (5/5): One of my main complaints with this series is all the jumping around that happens and how fractured the story feels at times, that was not the case in this volume. This was easy to follow and did an amazing job wrapping up the storylines in a way that felt hopeful and complete. The illustration throughout the whole series was fantastic and I loved it! My Summary (5/5): Overall I enjoyed this series as a whole but especially loved this final volume. This is an amazing world with amazing characters. I absolutely loved how everything was tied up here and where the series leaves both the world and the characters. I would recommend this whole graphic novel series if you enjoy alternate history types of epic fantasy with beautiful (yet gory) illustration.

East of West ultimately is a perfect story.from plot,characters, pace of story and art it's quickly becoming one of my favorite series.im greatly intrigued by Lady Mao's character throughout the story.im also a big music fan and I'm left wondering if parts of Lady Mao's character were inspired by Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven'.even though one is a song and one is a fictional character the women described in 'Stairway to Heaven ' sounds like Lady Mao. This is a wonderful series.i would greatly appreciate additional stories from the East of West universe if the creators see fit.thank you for a wonderful story!

Genious, well-put, thoroughly sequence and viciously designed. These qualifications apply to the author of thus story depicting our current state of affairs

An amazing series. So much so I even paid for a good chunk to read to the end! Thank you, Mr Hickman, for an excellent story.

This is one of the best stories I have read. Beautifully written, drawn and executed. Thank you Jonathan and Nick. This was perfect!

Excellent series. It is a very entertaining story from beginning to end, nicely drawn and supported by excellent characters.

I loved this series. The ending was good, but it did feel a bit rushed and abrupt

I am sad to see this end, but I am happy that it resolved the way it did. This is Jonathan Hickman’s masterpiece. I don’t use it lightly, but this really the culmination of his plays with format, his love of world-building made through inference, his play of psychedelia and dream logic, his bizarre sense of humor, and his love of characters giving speeches every few pages. This is the pinnacle of all that he can accomplish and I am sad to see it go.

Dark. Funny. Weird. The author never let you down, or take shortcut in the story telling.
