Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get into this comic series called “East of West” for a while now. I kept seeing it pop up on lists of best comics, and the whole sci-fi western apocalypse vibe really caught my eye. But I had one big question: just how many volumes are there in this thing?
First, I started by, you know, just Googling around. I typed in “East of West volumes” and skimmed through the search results. I saw a bunch of different numbers being thrown around. Some places talked about single issues, others mentioned collected editions, and it all got a bit confusing, to be honest.
Then I went deeper. I checked out some comic book store websites. I browsed through their “East of West” sections. They had these things called “trade paperbacks” listed, which seemed to be collections of several individual issues. I saw volume 1, volume 2, and so on, but the numbers weren’t always consistent. It felt like I was piecing together a puzzle.
- I found one website that mentioned there are 10 primary works and 15 total works in the series.
- Another site said something about the series concluding with issue #45, which didn’t really help me figure out the volume count.
- I even stumbled upon a mention that all ten volumes are New York Times bestsellers. Cool, but not exactly what I was looking for.
So, I decided to take a more organized approach. I started writing down the volume numbers I found on different websites. I made a little list, trying to match up the issue numbers with the corresponding volumes. For example, I saw that one volume collected issues #11-15. Okay, that’s helpful.
After a good while of cross-referencing and comparing, I finally got a clearer picture. It looks like “East of West” is collected into 10 trade paperback volumes. Each volume gathers a bunch of single issues, making it easier to read the whole story without hunting down every individual comic. And that is my complete journey.
