As, what one of this comic’s creators referred to me as, a Lumber-Jane Hippie, I will admit that at first I was intrigued and entertained by this title, but I did not ‘get’ it. I had no idea what fired pies were and I don’t drink sweet tea. So not only is this title teaching me something with each new issue, it’s helping me understand what the culture the South really is. There are more layers and complications than the caricatures that are portrayed on television and movies. The South is deep seeded in history, tradition, stubborn pride, unapologetic brutality, a language seemingly all its own, and some of the most colorful cast of realistic characters you can find. Every Southerner I know who has read this book have said they know people like the very ones written on this book.

Big surprise, The Manhattan Projects is my pick for the week. It’s tied with East of West for my favorite current title and I recommend both books to comic fans and non-comic readers alike. Whether or not you like super hero books, this is just a great, dynamic story. Seeing what the creative team comes up with every month has been a real treat.

The first volume of East of West (1-6) focused on world building and the latest issues have focused more on setting up who the key players are. Hickman tells his story without cramming too much plot into each issue and really takes his time. At times this can call for patience, which is risky in a world of short attention spans with content at the tips of one’s fingers. This book makes it’s own rules and doesn’t resemble any typical comic book. This issue further expands its world and adds more characters to its global conflict.

No surprise, Jonathan Hickman’s latest installment of his creator owned sci-fi Western was my favorite comic of the week. It’s easily in my top 3 current titles and the book I look forward to the most every month. My one complaint is that just as each issue gains momentum, it feels like it ends abruptly. There is still an air or mystique to the world of East of West and I can’t help wanting to know all I can about how this world became so very different from what we know today.

This is technically the second part of the Finite side story of Robert Oppenheimer. I consider it to be somewhat the third part, because the first issue of the series was titled, Infinite Oppenheimers, and served as an origin story of sorts for the character. For this issue, the regular art duties of Nick Pitarra have been subbed by artist, Ryan Browne. I could tell a slight difference at first, but it wasn’t a negative. It was a nice contrast to accompany this interlude that deviates from the main story, yet still has the definitive feel that the book is known for. Oppenheimer is by far my favorite character of the series and I find him so interesting that I would easily buy a series featuring only him.
