About the Author

Jonathan Hickman's THE NIGHTLY NEWS was accepted as a blind submission in 2006 and he hasn't looked back since, having masterminded several superhero comics and co-creating books like EAST OF WEST, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, and THE DYING & THE DEAD.

Known for his intricate plots and explosive payoffs, Hickman also masterminds the Marvel Comics Universe.
Nick Dragotta is the artist and co-creator, along with writer Jonathan Hickman, of the breakout hit series East of West. Dragotta and Hickman made name for their creative team previously on Fantastic Four at Marvel Comics, where Dragotta also worked on the landmark run of X-Statix with Peter Milligan and many other of the top Marvel characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, the X-Men and others.

Reviews

“Hickman has fused together just about every major genre you can think of to create his most ambitious story to date, and given the skill of the craftsmanship, it will definitely be one to keep an eye on… frequent FF collaborator Nick Dragotta brings East of West to life in surreal fashion... The reborn ‘Three’ Horsemen of the Apocalypse are as vicious as they are deceiving.”
“Jonathan Hickman is a master world builder.”
“Hickman starts another high-concept series, this one set in a futuristic Old West and starring none other than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse… Happily, Dragotta’s bloody, gangly art is a great fit—from the eerie white figure of Death and the impish manifestations of Conquest, War, and Famine to the dustpunk marriage of frontier imagery and futuristic technology. Though it’s still in its early throes, this looks to be a seriously entertaining, darkly epic apocalypse in the making."
