The storyline focuses on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the imminent end of the world. The tagline for the series is "The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us". The plot explores the tension between the inevitability of the apocalypse and the persistent hope for a different future.

Ok so I sometimes buy graphic novels on Amazon and they kept recommending this to me, and I was like nah, apocalyptic Western sounds not good. Finally caved but there was only hardback books when I looked.

Let me just say- I am actually happy to have these in hardback. The art is incredible, I love it. The story pretty engaging too, but the art!

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
