Over the weekend I've read all four of my volumes of "East of West." It's a sci-fi western comic about an alternate history United States after the Civil War went a bit differently. It involves the four horsemen of the apocalypse, of which Death is the protagonist, political intrigue, and a plot that comes about slowly and methodically without feeling like it's being dragged along. The art is colorful and consistently well done and it's just a good read overall. I kind of picked it up on a whim for Dala who hasn't read it yet, so I don't want to write any spoilers, but I'm happy that it's something I'm enjoying as well.
As for "real books," I'm currently reading "What If?" by Randall Munroe and loving every bit of it. It's amazingly well written in that it's both witty and easily accessible.
