shirohige's review against another edition
4.0
Con una estructura definida (dentro de la que se supone que cada 15 o 14 números se desarrolla un arco) con este sexto tpb confirmamos nuestras sospechas de lo que sucedería tras los eventos de [b:East of West, Volume 5: All These Secrets|28204540|East of West, Volume 5 All These Secrets|Jonathan Hickman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1450214248s/28204540.jpg|48231425] y, bueno, todo se ha ido un poco al carajo.
Inclinado hacia lo más emotivo en su recta final, este volumen consigue explorar una dimensión que por lo general no es tan brillantemente ejecutada por Hickman: los sentimientos de sus personajes. La emoción y los intereses de 'Death' para con su hijo Babylon (que tienen una escena maravillosa en el #29), o la amistad entre John Freeman y Sotuknang. Parecen lazos genuinos y ajenos a la mezquindad que por lo general estructura las personalidades de los integrantes de East Of West. Es refrescante y al mismo tiempo consigue que la empatía pueda penetrar un poco en una maraña política que tiende a inclinarse más por la frialdad matemática a la hora de ejecutar movimientos que a los intereses personales de cada entidad.
Esta partida de ajedrez parece inclinarse totalmente hacia otro lado en su termino. Y aparentemente hay piezas de muchos más colores que el negro y blanco habitual en juego.

This was a really finale and I desperately need the next one. It was a real game changer and I absolutely loved it…I may reread the series just for the fun of it.
~Spoilers~
Trying to kill death seems silly.
While I am happy that the ranger shot Orion because he was a crazy mother fucker, that did cause a lot of chaos. He causes more problems than he solves. Kind of annoying.
I knew that Wolf and John’s reunion wasn’t going to last long. Which makes me so sad. Did Wolf die?
I feel so bad for Psalm 137, there’s a man trapped inside of him. His back story is so horrifying scientist took a bunch of religious figures turned them into robots and then they became killing machines.
Babylon is such a sweet child. Babylon and Death are reunited! Take those stupid things off his eyes that way he can see the world!
Shit the other horsemen broke from their cocoons and now they’re going to fuck shit up.

As usual, gorgeous. Fantastic storytelling through pictures. Slower than other volumes, but still fast. I was a bit surprised at how "Balloon" acted when Babylon finally meets Death (though I thought Babylon's reaction was spot on). Maybe I'm missing something, but I did not anticipate Balloon to be so... capitulating. I guess it might have been because Balloon didn't know who the guy was who saved him. But I don't think so. Still brilliant.

Mesmerizing yet again. Easily the richest world in fiction right now.

This series, six volumes in, still has me losing my shit. I never have any idea what's to come because while the mythos itself is resilient, it's genre-grab bag quality keeps ya on your toes. Rare to find, beloved to read. The apocalypse has never been more fun.
