Is anybody reading East Of West?

Liam did you ever bother getting this? I'd be willing to let my trades go for half price plus postage. I'd say they are mint condition.

Appreciate the offer, but I already got the first trade for Christmas. Haven't read it yet so I'll have to see if I enjoy it.

Thanks though!

No worries amigo - hope you enjoy the book more than I did.

I just picked up the Miracleman/Marvelman first three trades (the Alan Moore ones) and have to say they were pretty good. I imagine had I read them 35 years ago I'd have been blown away. Reading the third volume though was probably the only time I've ever felt a comic actually had too many words per page. But overall great stuff.

Has anyone read the Gaiman follow-ups? Are they worth getting? Review scores are lower on amazon at least.

"pretty good". lmaoooo

We read this (the first two trades) as a Read Pile review for our podcast (and I think that's the episode we're publishing in an hour or so today), and I really didn't care for it. It just felt like Hickman spat out a TON of mediocre, unengaging characters in the first 30-40 pages or so with little-to-no build, and there was nothing about the series that hooked me or made me want to care. It was overwhelming and tedious.

Yeah it was a proper slog getting through the first volume and I had absolutely no desire to go any further with it thereafter. Some cool moments but at no point did I feel engaged with any of the characters or the setting so it all fell very flat.


Cheers.
