About the series
In this Image Comics series from 2013 to 2016, writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Nick Dragotta crafted a sprawling, apocalyptic Western that reimagines the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as a fractured family. Over its ten-issue run, the series follows Death—who has broken from his brethren—on a quest to prevent a prophecy that would end the world, set against a richly imagined alternate American frontier. The book stands out for its bold, minimalist art and dense, mythic storytelling, making it a defining work of creator-owned science-fiction Westerns.
