Thanks for tuning in to Make Mine Paperback! The podcast that is always about comics, and sometimes cocktails. Although this time we don’t have a cocktail, we do have a great book and a new theme! This month we will focus on Science-Fiction. To start the month off we have East of West Volume 1: The Promise, written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Nick Dragotta. The Promise collects the first five issues of this intriguing Image Comic series. Although the world seems to be on the edge of the apocalypse, things do not go according to plan when death is noticeably absent as a horseman. Listen in as the gang theorizes where the story is headed. Although it can be a lot to take in, this comic delivers an interesting story that leaves you wanting for more! John Hickman carefully lays out a complex narrative of political mystery that leaves the reader guessing everyone’s motives. Find out what makes sci-fi such an enduring and popular genre!
