The series is set in a dystopian, alternate-history United States divided into seven nations
The storyline focuses on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the imminent end of the world. The tagline for the series is “The things that divide us are stronger than the things that unite us”. The plot explores the tension between the inevitability of the apocalypse and the persistent hope for a different future.
I literally just got the collected edition. I read the series as it was coming out and liked it enough to add it to my collection. The price was right I guess but it’s paperback. I sort of doubt I’m gonna be about to read that giant tome without fucking up the spine. Annoying!
