East of West starts as it ended, big, epic, and fucked up with a little spread of happiness.

East of West really evolved for me over the 10 volume series. What I enjoyed at the start turned into love by the end. Somewhere around the mid mark is when the series picked up, and by the end I was floored at all the different storylines Hickman told here.

The major storyline here is Death verses the remaining 3 horsemen. This is the fight we've been waiting for and let me tell you, shit was bombtastic. Also Death's son is the shining hopeful star here, and by the end I almost teared up at a certain scene. We also get closure on mostly every other character, and karma is a son of a bitch for some of them.

Overall, fantastic ending to a fantastic series. Well worth reading. A 5 out of 5.
