East of West #1, it's Saga and Arrowsmith and four horsemen end of the world stuff mixed in, here is how the USA differed wildly from history. Plus, a map! I always love a good map :
Flash forward to 2064, when the four horsemen are reborn, but have to be kids for a bit. They find a survivor in their carnage:
Death seemed to escape being reborn, and they're upset about it. Map time!
PRA is communist china, only in America.
Batman Inc. #9, Prince Harry, tanks, and empathic cows:

This was a really, really great week overall, here are my favorite bits:
A+X #6 - Logan and Carol's poker game/argument about who would win in a fight between Astronauts and Cavemen is interrupted:
Uncanny Avengers #5 - Alex Summers steps up to the big leagues:
Young Avengers #3 - Loki tries an interesting tactic to get the rest of the team to trust him:
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 - Peter Quill and his dad have an interesting relationship:
Age of Ultron #3 - Taskmaster is a funny guy and in a gambit to see the inner workings of Ultron's fortress, Luke Cage discovers who is behind the apocalypse:
Crazy Old Man Johnny Storm From The Future is also unaware of the impact of the last several decades of gentrification upon the Manhattan real estate market:
He's on his way to becoming a strong counterpoint to Cyclops. I agree with everything he said.
I'm cool with that speech though*, it works to make the ethics more Scott vs. Alex (because maybe that way Marvel won't make it so one-sided), although "M Word" is an eyeroll.

edit: what was Rogue's reasoning for being passive aggressive/bitchy in the preview pages a while back?
Out of the 9 stories, only two would I say are really good, Matt Kindt's story is fantastic and Dan Abnett's story is good and then kind of does a good job making you feel sorry for having to do a job you don't want to do. Since I can't post Kindt's story without really messing with the whole premise, here's some of Abnett's story, it puts those Flinstones dinosaurs in their place for bad jobs:
Tom king and Tom Fowler did a good story that plays with language really well and has a hook to the story that you'll figure out a page before the ending, and it's good for what it is, the art is really nice. Everything else is meh to bad (Simone's story is pretty bad, it reads like a fanfic from scans daily or something).
I love Hickman's world building.g

here's a highlight
aaaaaand here's Arcee saying what's up with her
Volthoom re-writes Atrocitus' history and shows him a timeline where his homeworld and family were never destroyed by the Manhunters. In it, Atrocitus became a brutal conqueror, oppressing his people and slaughtering any dissenters, even in his own family.
Volthoom turns him loose, and we get this:
Steam
and I love the relationship between Asgardia and Broxton and hope it never goes away
Psylocke takes a peek inside Bishop's brain, which turns out to be drawn by the wonderful Adrian Adolpha
Genesis does a little bonding with his newest classmate, who also gets a codename from Wolverine in a lovely nod to people as old as me.
and UXF's psychic plane is probably the best interpretation I have seen
The mighty warrior Sif just hanging out with a bunch of kids and having a snowball fight! Wolverine and Captain Marvel playing poker with a big bad supervillain!
It's like there are comics tgat have come back around from being super serious and gritty to an age when being a superhero was just a lot of fun.
Oh man I didn't even notice this! hahahaha that's great!
( The finishing panel of the snowball fight was also good)
I love the dude with the shovel waving to the Asgardian in the background.
it's a joke
The four kids behind the car look suspiciously like the four kids from South Park.
The four kids next to Sif look suspiciously like four generic kids.
Ohhh, okay. I was staring at the kids around Sif trying to figure it out.
Huh. I assumed Genesis was raised in a program of Superman's fairytale awesome Kansas not of real world Kansas.

For a brief stint, I tried adoption
But the kid I got turned out to be rotten
Which forumer am I?
