First Knife is a 2020 independent Post-Apocalyptic Science Fantasy comic written by Simon Roy and Daniel M. Bensen and drawn by Artyom Trakhanov.It is the thirty-third century. Humanity has returned to a primitive form of society following the collapse of civilization as we know it, while the godlike Devas work to heal the ecological damage and give direction to humanity. Of the countless tribes that live in the hot ruins of North America in this time, the Hudsoni — a burgeoning empire of warriors and slavers — reign supreme, controlling much of the Canadian Shield. But one day in the conquered city of Shikka-Go, a priestess of the Yanqui — a people repressed by the Hudsoni — accidentally discovers a demon of the old world; Hesukristos, an ancient Cyborg built for war. With the old world's sins resurfacing and the Devas warning of great destruction to come, Hudsoni war chief First Knife embarks on a quest to deal with the threat personally, while Hesukristos begins a revolt in the south that could change this world forever…

Can't Kill You, Still Need You
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_1206d299
comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Hesukristos realizes that First Knife knows where NATO headquarters is because of his grandfather going there in the past, and so he can't kill the Hudsoni war party if he wants any hope of repairing himself.

comment
Interfaith Smoothie: Hesukristianity is explicitly future Christianity, but over a thousand years of syncretism and cultural development after the apocalypse mean it's got qualities of a few other faiths as well, such as the Devas getting their name from Hinduism. There's also mention of the Bekua religion which is similarly Christian-descended but rejects the idea of Jesus/Hesukristos' divinity, similar to the Muslim stance that Jesus was only a prophet, not the Son of God.

Gaia's Lament: What the Anthropocene Thermal Maximum was apparently, with mentions of things like "climate refugees". The Devas have spent centuries undoing the damage and restoring Earth to it's pre-industrial Holocene state environmentally speaking.

Heroic R Ro D: Having no means of properly repairing or recharging himself means Hesukristos' great strength and impressive weaponry is functionally Cast from Hit Points. The more he uses them and the more battles he engages in with Devas, the more his body breaks down.

Egocentrically Religious: It's rather telling that Mari's reaction to believing she's met the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Hesukristos) is to immediately presume this means she herself must be The Chosen One destined to aid him as his wife.

Framing Device: The backmatter and appendices at the end of each chapter are presented as in-universe academic notes written in the thirty-seventh century, implying that human civilization does eventually recover, though it's cold comfort for the characters in the story.

Ambiguous Situation: Just what the "Anthropocene Thermal Maximum" was that brought down civilization as we know it, and whether the Devas were involved in it, are never really explained. The reader is only ever given tantalizing hints, some of which are contradictory.

I'm a Humanitarian
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_22071825
comment
I'm a Humanitarian: Hesukristos has a biofuel reactor that feeds off organic material to power him up… and "organic material" includes humans, which he uses to great effect to kill and intimidate enemies. However, it's explicitly a very poor and inefficient fuel source that really isn't up to task and he's only relying on it because he doesn't have better options.

Ambiguously Brown: Following the apocalypse and several generations of racial mixing, the average North American now generally looks more or less Amerindian, aside from a few ethnic groups and tribes like the Anglo and Petwa that hew closer to European and African respectively.

Condescending Compassion
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_220c23cb
comment
Condescending Compassion: The Devas seem more or less benevolent and only wish to heal the world and help humanity rebuild, but their tendency to view humans as "lesser" beings to be controlled into behaving properly hinders that. They are ultimately forced to admit that they must engage with humans as equals if they hope to truly help them.

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_28b2f93a
comment
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Hesukristos, being a more or less modern person, has this attitude and the Yanqui obviously don't appreciate being subjugated by the Hudsoni. The Hudsoni themselves, however, see it as just part of life. In the end, the Devas come to agree with the Yanqui and as part of the new "treaty" with humanity, declare that the Hudsoni are never to enslave again and especially leave the Yanqui alone.

Eternal English
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_30763ed8
comment
Eternal English: Averted. The people of thirty-third century North America are speaking new, completely different languages descended from English and Spanish. English is treated like Latin, being basically a dead language only really spoken or understood by priests and historians and such. Hesukristos initially has to rely on Mari — who learned English as a priestess — to communicate with others until his valet system can work out a translation.

Ragnarök Proofing
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_3bce9346
comment
Ragnarök Proofing: Averted. What few buildings are even still standing are just dilapidated ruins. Which means that the entire trek to NATO headquarters is All for Nothing, as protagonists quickly find; all the tools and power supplies and such Hesukristos could have used to fix himself are long rotted away by the ravages of time. The big exception is First Knife's family dagger which is pristine aside from some customization by his grandfather, for reasons that to unexplained.

Bittersweet Ending: Most of the party and Hesukristos are dead, Mari is alone, and First Knife will never get to go home. But the Yanqui are free, the Devas will engage with humans more fairly and equally now, and life goes on. Things could have gone better but they also could have ended much worse.

comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Maybe, depending on whether or not you believe that the Devas were responsible for the cataclysm "for the greater good" like the Yanqui think they were. It's left uncertain if that's true or if they're completely benevolent, if unintentionally condescending and repressive. What is definitely true is that they're healing the planet and helping humans to rebuild.

Machine Worship: The Hudsoni worship the Devas as basically lesser gods or angels. The Yanqui, conversely, regard them as demons. For their part, the Devas seem ambivalent to both ideas, though accepting of the Hudsoni's worship since it makes imparting information and instruction to humans easier.

Humans Are White: A strong, realistic aversion.

 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Justified by the nature of the setting; they're literally the mixed descendants of many real world cultures. The Hudsoni have many traits of Inuit, East Asian and Native Siberian cultures, the Yanqui mix Great Plains tribal cultures with that of ancient Mexican/Central American ones, the Anglo seem vaguely Celtic, and the Petwa are clearly Caribbean mixed with other tropical predominantly African societies. The Bekua are more unclear in their inspiration, though their religious beliefs and theological qualms with the Yanqui are evocative of Islam.

Grew Beyond Their Programming: It's heavily implied that the Devas evolved from AI intended for terraforming projects and climate change control when the Anthropocene Thermal Maximum happened. Hesukristos' valet system notably recognizes one Deva as somewhat matching up to an automated probe meant for terraforming Mars.

Clarke's Third Law: The line between magic and science in this series is… blurry. In particular, the Devas may or may not be giant terraforming AI, but they're so powerful and capable of such godlike feats that debating their divinity is pointless; even if they're machines, they're demigods or angels in every sense that matters.

Unspecified Apocalypse: Just what the Anthropocene Thermal Maximum was aside from a ecological disaster goes unsaid, and while there's plenty of worldbuilding as to what the Earth is like now, the story never really explains how it became like this. There is speculation and hints, but no hard answers, and the speculation sometimes contradicts (the Hudsoni say the Devas are healing the world, the Yanqui say they killed it to begin with).

Religious Bruiser: First Knife is both a mighty war chief and a deeply devout man who follows the Devas will dutifully. Ironically, the equally pious but much more zealous Mari is a Non-Action Girl by comparison.

Grey-and-Gray Morality
 First Knife (Comic Book) / int_7335ffa9
comment
Grey-and-Gray Morality: First Knife and his band are sympathetic and are simply trying to save Shikka-Go and potentially all the lands from destruction, but they are also the servants of an imperialistic slaving empire. Meanwhile, Mari and her fellow Yanqui rebels are fighting for the freedom of their people, but do so with brutal zealotry unbecoming of priests and Mari especially doesn't seem to care how many Hudsoni have to die to free Shikka-Go. Hesukristos, caught in the middle of it all, is a Nominal Hero who mostly just wants to survive and do the right thing as best he can.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: Subverted. The predominant religion of future North America is called Hesukristianity, but only to emphasize how far in the future it is and how much language has drifted. The story otherwise makes it clear that this is just future Christianity (specifically Catholicism). It's also amusingly lampshaded at one point when Hesukristos swears by the actual Jesus and nobody knows who that is despite worshipping Him.

Broken Pedestal: Luo loses more and more respect for First Knife as the quest progresses and he continues to play the long game instead of fighting right away, going from his loyal lancer to trying to kill him. Hesukristos' final death spiral and posthumous collapse makes Mari realize that he was telling the truth the whole time; he was just a dying soldier, not the real Second Coming, and thus could never have lifted the world up the way she wished.

It's also deconstructed with Luo, as her obsession with doing things the "Hudsoni warrior way" makes her unable to accept First Knife's pragmatic, underhanded approaches to dealing with Hesukristos.

Future Imperfect

comment
Future Imperfect: Downplayed with the Hesukristian religion, which is Christianity after an apocalypse and several generations of lingual and cultural drift. Despite all that, the faith hasn't really changed much; there is some historical misunderstandings, conflations, name changes, syncretism, and new additions, but the core messages and beliefs (God sent his Son to Earth where He taught people to live virtuously and died for their sins but is prophesied to one day return) are the same. The city of Shikka-Go is heavily implied to be the remains of Chicago, long destroyed and built over by the new inhabitants of the Americas. Other places shown include the southern Hudsoni capital of Sussem-Ri, implied to be built over Sault St. Marie, and Santa-Lu, also known as St. Louis.

No Name Given: "Hesukristos" is actually what people call Jesus of Nazareth in the thirty-third century thanks to lingual drift, and is ascribed to the cyborg against his will; we never learn his real name. Likewise, "Mari" is just a divine title for the woman who is Hesukristos' wife (implied to be a corruption of "Mary" — as in, Mary Magdalene) and the priestess bestows the title on herself, never revealing her birth name.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Thanks to Clarke's Third Law and the ambiguity of a number of aspects of the world, it's decidedly unclear how much of what happens is supernatural or scientific, if there's even a meaningful difference. For instance, First Knife's dagger, which may be enchanted in some manner to allow it to kill powerful beings or just a normal combat knife that was used to hit a weakpoint. It's hard to say which, as we only directly see one ambiguous usage of it.

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Devas, while oft-condescending to humans, are also very reasonable and willing to listen to them. When First Knife proposes leading Hesukristos away from Shikka-Go and killing him themselves so the Devas won't have to burn the city and it's people with him, they agree but warn that they can only give so much time for the Hudsoni to accomplish this before they have to step in themselves. And when they do intervene after the time limit is up, they pointedly yell to any nearby humans to evacuate the area before engaging with Hesukristos.
