East of West (Comic Book) | comment |
East of West is Jonathan Hickman's and Nick Dragotta's sprawling Alternate History Weird West, sci-fi, fantasy epic published by Image Comics. In the midst of the American Civil War that has dragged on for more than twenty years, a Southern soldier, a Native American chieftain, and an exiled politician from China record three separate parts of the Message, a prophecy foretelling the upcoming End Times. The War is then ended by a massive meteor strike in the desert, the site at which an armistice is signed.Now, in the future (the series starts in 2064), the United States is anything but united. It is divided into the constantly warring Union, the Confederacy, the Kingdom of New Orleans, the People's Republic of America (formerly California), the Texas Republic, and the Endless Nation. The apocalypse approaches quickly as leading members of each nation have secretly formed a cabal of the Chosen, a group who works to bring about the end times. Meanwhile the Horsemen of the Apocalypse walk the earth and gather power. But one single man stands in the way of the Chosen, one who should be at their helm: the horseman Death. Betrayed by his brethren, Death is on a quest for vengeance. Something of value has been stolen from him and nothing will stand in his way to get it back.Believe it or not, the above is a much simplified summary which is mainly laid out in the first issue. Hickman's dark, esoteric world only becomes stranger and more interesting as the huge cast of characters interact and struggle for power. But perhaps what makes East of West most memorable is the beautiful and unusual art by Nick Dragotta. With slick action, creative character designs, and a style that is wholly unique, the comic is a sight to behold. After its premier East of West has garnered plenty of praise and favorable comparisons to Hickman's other Image comic The Manhattan Projects. | |

East of West (Comic Book) / int_289008dc | comment |
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: President to be Samuel Wayne Williams was this. Loyal, honest, and answers to no one but his conscience. Even when face to face with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse he refused to become a pawn in their scheme. He was so incorruptible that even Conquest couldn't help but be impressed by him. Unfortunately for him this leads to his death at the hands of said Horsemen. Ditto President Burkhart of Confederacy. Knowing nothing about the Chosen and the Horsemen, he immediately sides against the war with the other states that are immune to their influence, even rebuking Chamberlain (who is trying to make him think otherwise) in the process. Chamberlain kills him two pages later. | |

Rank Scales with Asskicking: Played with. On one hand, you have John Freeman, Bel Solomon, and Xiaolin, who are all in high positions of authority. With the latter two being heads of state and the former being a prince. All of whom possess incredible combat prowess and are among the series' most lethal characters. On the other hand, the leaders of the other nations rely more on their wits and manipulation of others as opposed to their actual fighting ability. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Like most of Hickman's work, the series is extremely cynical. Complete with oppressive governments, power hungry rulers, and manipulative schemers all working together to bring upon the end of times. And just about any character who shows the slightest hint of idealism is quickly dealt with in some horrific fashion. However, the series never slips into being too bleak for its own good and its ending is on the sweeter side of bittersweet. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: The battle between Death and his allies versus the army of Mao quickly becomes this. As Mao's forces are quickly overwhelmed by the combined might of Death and the witches from the Endless Nation. To call the war between The Endless Nation vs. The Republic of Texas a curb stomp battle would be a gross understatement. Curb stomp slaughter would be a more accurate description. This one is actually somewhat zig-zagged in that while the battle was a swift and decisive Nation victory, the Republic still managed to inflict heavy enough casualties that the Nation has to tread carefully for the remainder of the series. | |

East of West (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: One that leans more on the sweet side. Villains like the Three Horseman, Chamberlain, and LeVay are dead, and Justice completes his kill list. The "End of the World" comes not via an apocalypse, but through a dissolution of the old status quo — the remaining nations sign a second armistice. The narration notes this new status quo was prosperous and while it didn't last forever, this is presented in a neutral light; no nation lasts forever, but love does. While Death dies saving Babylon, the boy reunites with Xiaolin and finally sees the real world, recognizing it as something worth preserving. | |

Badass Normal: The Ranger is possibly the most badass character and yet is one of the few without powers. John Freeman appears to be this as well, much to his brothers' dismay. Bel Solomon, who shows prowess with a revolver equal to that of The Ranger, made all the more impressive in that he appears to be twice his age. Xialoin also qualifies, even before she was augmented with cybernetics. | |

East of West (Comic Book) / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: A major theme as the prophetic message predicts very specific things that seem destined to happen, but then again, as War notes, interpretation is often tough. War convince his brothers to try to defy the Message by killing Babylon, who is supposed to become the Beast of the Apocalypse and their leader. This ends up fulfilling the Message to the letter, as Babel escapes them and his father (who was coming to release him) at the same time and is therefore able to start setting his own destiny in motion. | |

Hazy-Feel Turn: Despite being the "hero" of the story, it's difficult to characterize Death as "good": he is a being driven by revenge, has no scruples, and will not hesitate to murder anyone that crosses him. On the other hand, he is the only Horseman who refuses to help usher in the apocalypse, is devoted to his close friends Wolf and Crow, and deeply loves his wife and son. | |

East of West (Comic Book) / int_a3a4a800 | comment |
Too Clever by Half: This is what ends up getting Archibald Chamberlain killed. He manages to arrange a three-way The Good, the Bad and the Ugly-style Mexican Standoff as his final encounter with Solomon and the Ranger, and then manages to secretly empty Solomon's pistol way in advance to improve his chances. And then he ruins it by deciding to shoot Solomon first out of sheer spite, which allowed the Ranger to blow Chamberlain away. | |

Color-Coded Characters: Each of the four horsemen has a color unique to them which helps to identify them since in flashbacks they have different genders and appearances. Red for War, Blue for Conquest, Yellow for famine, and Black then White for Death. Death's shift from Black to White indicates a significant character change as well as a near-death experience. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: The Ranger can snipe his target from about couple of mountain ranges away (specifically he kills a target 96 kilometers away or 59~ miles-he had to be up in a mountain to actually see that far). He still needs his sniper rifle for that. Death on the other hand can shoot through same distance with his revolver without scope, though he's not quite as accurate-he hits his target but its one of the rare instances where he doesn't kill them, wounding the Ranger in the shoulder. The Ranger (who just shot that far with his super science robo-dog/gun) whispers that Death's feat couldn't be possible. In short, The Ranger is the greatest human marksman alive, armed with cool gadgets, whereas Death is an inhuman killing machine. | |

Gambit Pileup: Part of the fun of the series is reading and following the spider web of scheming that the Chosen engage in against one another. While they are all ostensibly on the same side (trying to bring about the End Times), the fact remains that they are all a greedy, power-hungry and suspicious group. The Horsemen seem not to care that their pawns are in the business of backstabbing one another. If anything, they seem to condone it. | |

Doma Lux was turned as a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent by the People's Republic of America, and was acting on their behalf to destabilize the other nations. | |

Running Gag | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Everytime we visit the Atlas bar, we know the Tracker is gonna get bullied into cooperation in more and more severe ways and/or someone is gonna get horribly murdered and the place ransacked. By the time we see the last of it, the Tracker has been killed and none is left but decomposing corpses. | |

Weird West | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_fa6cd5d7 | comment |
Weird West: One of the comic's main draws is its fusion of Western tropes combined with science fiction and fantasy elements. Complete with cowboy versions of The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, talking eyeballs, and massive living lakes. Weird West indeed. | |

Robot Buddy | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_fcbcc221 | comment |
Robot Buddy: Death's son Babylon has Balloon who doubles as both a companion and a mentor. However, it is also a darker variation of this trope. As Balloon's knowledge is meant to influence the child's world view so that he may become the beast of the Apocalypse and bring upon the end of times. Also, Red who is the Ranger's robotic dog. The Ranger is absolutely heartbroken when Chamberlain shoots him. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The sole reason Bel Solomon joined The Chosen wasn't because he believed in their prophecy, but because he believed that it would be the best way to protect his countrymen from the other nations. | |

Lady of War | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_fe48cea2 | comment |
Lady of War: Xiaolin. Very much so in her case. Carries herself with a sense of grace that not even 10 years of imprisonment could damper. A War Master by the age of sixteen. And by the age of 20 a one women army who single handily killed one hundred men in a single day. Did we forget to mention that she is also the women who conquered death? And in his previous lives, War himself was once this trope (she even mentions that she had magnificent lady parts). That is until he was reincarnated in the body of a "dirty little boy". | |

Pet the Dog | |
East of West (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: When The Horsemen of the Apocalypse finish slaughtering an entire village full of pilgrims Conquest decides to spare the lone surviving infant. He even adopts the child and raises him as his own-Babylon's robo friend Balloon mentions Conquest has done this a few times in their long life. Subverted with delightful viciousness by Archibal Chamberlain. As his beloved niece Constance lies in a coma after being shot in an attempt on his life, he prays at her bedside saying that he's not usually the praying sort but, between having a war to run and Constance, who means the world to him, teetering between life and death, he wants to ask God one thing: give Chamberlain victory over his enemies, and He can take his niece. | |
