Taco Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My LCS had 40+ copies about half an hour ago. They said I was the first one to come in and buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niro Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Well i'll definitely be adding East of West to my pull list, good first issue! I was not impressed by the art in the preview showing the first few pages, but art looks excellent, especially the scenes featuring the main character. Those segments were by far the best also. I understand when people feel they cant follow the plot in Hickman first issues, but it's pretty clear it will all come together completely in future issues, looking forward to issue 2! o and it seems everyone and their dog is trying to sell multiple issues on ebay Edited March 27, 2013 by Niro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My LCS had 40+ copies about half an hour ago. They said I was the first one to come in and buy one. So CGC boards are not the center of the comic universe. Krighton was right..... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manilasunset-migration Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 KRAKABOOM! 1st issue didn't disappoint at all. Lovin the colors, Hickman and Dragotta is a killer team! Now on to the next one please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuff Ghost Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Cool stuff! Really love that the sound effects are drawn with the art and not pasted on top digitally after (I think that makes sense). The lettering in this in general is really well done. Loved the paperstock on it. Lots of great white space on the front and back for sketches Edited March 27, 2013 by Tuff Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike's Rack Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I picked one up at the LCS today, the owner tried to get me to buy two. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I have a mess load ordered through TFAW and that is just my reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatMarvelV1 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I read on Bleeding Cool that the Phantom variant is going to be 60 connecting issues. The first one is going to be the main character on his bike and the next 59 are just going to be the dust path he left behind when riding. Dude, that's funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike's Rack Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm sure he has a lot. If not 500, at least 200. He's big on speculation, I think he sell more on Ebay than in the store. Don't forget, most mail order buyers won't get their books for a couple of days so the pool should be much larger by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashed Potatoes-migration Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This comic was everything I had hoped it would be. I can't wait for issue #2. Comicvine gave it 5 out of 5 stars also. http://www.comicvine.com/reviews/east-of-west-1/1900-1588/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
