East of West, Vol. 3: There Is No Us
by
Hmmm . . . I dunno . . . still pretty good, but so strange. I have read a couple of graphic novels recently where the story just flowed and grabbed me. This one still feels a bit like work.
I will say that I am not completely lost. But it is a case where I start to feel like I know what is going on and then the story goes on some seriously odd, hallucinogenic-fueled side trip and I am totally lost again. It’s a mental tennis match with my mind going back and forth: “AH-HA!” – “WHAT?” – “AH-HA!” – “WHAT?
The art continues to be really impressive. At least I know if I am totally confused in the story I can take a few minutes to stop and enjoy the scenery.
Am I still enjoying the series? Yes! Has my understanding of things digressed? Absolutely! Will I continue to the next issue? You betcha! Will I start to understand the story more? Not a chance!
