the authority Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The next thing I know, this book levitates and magically lands in my hand. [/img] Of course, being the nice guy I am, I brought the little dude home with me. Now I'm going to read it. Thanks to Harvey for helping me learn to post pics.

the authority Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Actually, I'm guessing it's around 20' to the ceiling and I'm a little over 6' tall. It's a nice shop but when I left, they only had 1 East of West and 1 Spread left on the shelf. I only bought 1 of each and it was noon when I was there. I think they need to order more Image books. They did have a ton of the DC 3D covers and a good amount of Copperhead. Edited September 10, 2014 by The Authority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Btw, East of West #15 was another great tale. it's about a boy, a balloon, monsters, true power, and perception. Great story ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lateralus38-migration Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) This book is definitely complex, maybe to a fault, but I love it. A book that makes me go back and reread things for clarity is not a bad thing. I agree with the statement that when the writer tries to speak in tongues it makes it more difficult to understand. I also think that with the one shot coming next month, hopefully we will get a good bit of background info on the players. It does read better in trades IMO, and maybe by issue 50 or 75 or whatever, we can look back and see just how bada$$ this book really is. I loved this issue BTW, the balloon, the "boy", all of it. I also like how light and fluffy the last 2 pages feel knowing how dark the subject is. EoW keeps getting better.

the authority Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Wow ..great issue. shart is really hitting the fan now Can't wait to see what balloon boy does next. I got the sense that Babylon was naive at the beginning of this and other issues and in some ways, he still is. On the other hand, the 3 horsemen excluding Death, found out how ruthless he truly is, especially Conquest. I blame it on Balloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Resilient Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Great way to end Apocalypse: Year One. I really love all the iterations of the Horsemen! I'm looking forward to when the third trade comes out, so I can sit back, and read it all from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Resilient Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Then, proceed to a few box panels that talk about a new character that either hasn't shown up, or had no part in the last issue. Again, be non-sensical when you do it I'm not gonna lie, I laughed out loud at this part. I love the ever-expanding cast of this book, and I appreciated that they each had an issue, so that we can be familiar with them, but it certainly feels like this is what happens sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelTufnel42 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is my favorite read (although Batman N52 and Todd are right on it's heels). Does HBO have the budget to adapt this into a show? I am guessing it would have to be "green screen" similar to Sin City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They can make GoT work, they could make this work. I still think its early to convert because there is such a large cast and landscape that needs to be fleshed out imo. My thinking is that there will be more than just the Death, Beast, Chosen , and others that have their story told. I'm betting that East of West will be just one one many books involving this world in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying they should adapt immediately but rather i am hoping this could be a legitimate possibility. HBO has a problem on their hands with GoT. They are going to pass up the literary work within the next 3-4 years. George RR Martin is not getting any younger and clearly not "writing" any faster. But with East of West they evolve as the comic evolves. Obviously this is wishful thinking on my part but man what a show that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wishing with you Today's movie making and even more importantly, special effects, are truly incredible. I used to wish for comic book movies when I was a kid and the only thing that came out then worth watching in the comic dept. was Superman imo. Now, I go to see a show like GotG, Thir, The Dark Knight, and I'm totally impressed with the results. HBO could definitely handle this project and it has enough moving parts to be made interesting for years.
