Third reread - East of West is easily one of the best and most imaginative stories of the decade. Writing and art are both a ten out of ten.

THAT. WAS. CRAZY.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I especially loved the part where
Spoilerall hell broke loose and the Chosens were attacked. I do feel sad of what happened with the Wolf though.
DAMN. This is by far my favorite volume. And we even have the
Spoilermost awaited reunion! Yey Death and Babylon!
Now I'm super stoked on finding out what's gonna happen next. And the last part too!! Can't wrap my head around everything that is happening. I am having such a great time reading these volumes.

--Read as single issues #25-#29--

East of West remains at the top for me, right next to it's good pal Saga. I can't get enough of this series (seriously, any delay in publishing typically has me foaming at the mouth) and the end of issue #29 has big implications for the future of the series. Hickman is genius, Dragotta is flawless, Martin is masterful. Pick this up.

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.
