this is a mostly silent issue.
Here's a podcast discussing the manga influences on this issue

>>77872324
anybody reading?
>>77872347
In awe. Great stuff.
>>77872369
this twist kills me so hard. you think it would be lavey leading the attack but nope its the sneaky bastard of the series
>>77872421
Actually the last leader I expected.
>>77872421
and finally a teaser for something, either east of west in 2016 or a hickman-drawn, creator owned thing, or dying and the dead
>>77872421
This FUCKING guy.
Death should've whacked him back in issue... whatever. You should never let a snake live.
>>77872125
fuckin' SHURIKEN VISION
>>77872460
well that's the Annihilator font
>>77872421
I think I will wait for the trades for this series.
I enjoy it but I can't keep up with the story so these twists are lost to me.
>>77872421
I don't know about you but I fucking love Chamberlain, just how craft and conniving he is makes him a fun character. Definitely one of my favourite East of West characters.
Also is it me or can anyone else see Aiden Gillen playing him if they ever make a TV series?
>>77872606
Death nearly killed him in issue one, can't remember the reason he dropped the idea but I think it was because he had information on the whereabouts of Babylon.
>>77874592
it's a series you have to reread a few times to really get the intricacies
>>77874899
honestly my top five EoW characters are
John Freeman the Prince
Archibald Chamberlain
Xiaolian
Narsimha (the leader of the endless nation)
Babylon
I could see Aidan Gillen but Gillen doesn't look broken enough. archibald walks with a lurch and a cane
>>77874899
this is my favorite chamberlain scene
>>77875353
the dialogue in this scene is very azzarello
>>77875353
Chamberlain describing how brave his soldier friend was during the big war is also a good one too, really one of my favourite pages. I think it is after the one you posted.
>>77875391
"there's a certain ring to it"
I spit out my drink the first time i read that
>>77875255
>John Freeman the Prince
WHERE HE AT, HICKMAN
>>77875375
what's with Dragotta and mouths being a portal to the Abyss
>>77875432
his last appearance was #17
call me crazy, but i'm going to take a blind guess and say #23 will be a freeman issue
We all agree Crow was best girl, right?
>>77875746
power rankings:
Crow>Xiao>Doma>Constance>The Vizier
come christmas break im gonna do a big storytime of the series. uni is kicking my ass
>>77872072
this isn't that girl that turned out to be a widowmaker right?
>>77875937
Surprisingly agreeing with this
