Why do I love HλLF-LIFE , and by extension the A PLACE IN THE WEST comic, so much? This grew out of a shower-thought, so please bear with me. Anyways, why Half-Life ? Thinking about it, the game is an artfully assembled metaphor, an observant interpretation, boxed in an immersive sci-fi shooter game, filled with lush daydreams about "carbon stars with ancient satellites colonized by sentient fungi" . But Half-Life is also about today's condition of man here on little Earth, about the developing definition of Humanity reaching an important crossroads. We as humankind face unprecedentend events in all our lifes, escalating geopolitical conflicts between warring empires, long-ranging meteorogical and climactic changes on our planet and, maybe most importantly for us , a crisis of our selves. Our millenia long battle of control over nature - starting with huggling together at rustling campfires, burning wood and woods to hold night's natural cold and darkness at bay; in the long run, also day's warm embrace during every shift in sterile, gray office cubicles - and of disciplining our minds through thought experiments, with elaborate ideologies, cultures and religions throughout history forming our dreams, our worldviews and our approach to nature and reality: It all leads us today to a choice ( or rather to the illusion of choice? ). Half-Life's lore presents this to us like in some dark, mystical mirror: will we "master" the crisis of Earth's "Resonance Cascade" by cranking up the cold-blooded control program of science against nature and our selves? Should we abolish science alltogether, reject our faculty of reason and strive again for unity with nature? Or will empathic realisation and understanding of our personal and scientific errors (we're still human after all) prevail? Will we become the reformed, indigenous Lambda Resistance or will we turn into the malignant, totalitarian bio-machine known as the Combine? A Place in the West as a comic strips away the limitations of riding on a rail (pun intended) while exploring story implications in a linear shooter game, and introduces the reader to a colourful world of philosophical nuances and a thought-out cast of excentric characters, each and everyone plagued by their own figurative (or maybe even real) demons. The talented writer and his artistic team explore in this book of art - in the best tradition of weighty tomes like Charles Eisenstein's The Ascent of Humanity , Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy's Out of Revolution , or even sci-fi classics like Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Stanisław Lem' Solaris (maybe in an easier digestible, more aesthetically pleasing way) - what it ultimately means to be Human and where progress (or "progress") can and maybe will lead us. Is there (transcendent) purpose? Is crisis damnable, and can we learn from it? Are emotions, empathy and our morality a hinderance for evolution, or maybe rather the key? Are (trans)humanism and nature compatible, and should life even be "mastered"? Should the risk and danger of failure stop our curiosity? Is G-Man a no-good, obsessive-compulsive hoarder, with more competent agents of influence just like Gordon? If such questions really fascinate you, if looking like a geek fathoming about them in front of your friends (like I do) doesn't bother you, and if ravishing art really is your thing, I implore you to take the first chapters of A Place in the West (they're free!) and start reading them right now. They will be worth your time .
im in love with this comic and am on my hands and knees begging everyone to read it. its so fun and interesting, the characters are charming and multi-dimensional, and the world is so alive. its fascinating to explore what a post rescas america looks like and how on earth people are coping with the fallout
Stunning art and insightful writing. Set far from both Half-Life 1's Black Mesa Research Facility and Half-Life 2/Half-Life Alyx's City 17, APITW explores the fallout from the Black Mesa Incident and the Seven Hour War in a way not done by the games; While the Combine do exist, they are a distant threat, unaware of the remaining human survivors in North America, who are trying to build a life for themselves in the ruins of a world gone to hell. Whether you're already a fan of the Half-Life series, looking to find out what the fuss is all about before you try the games, or just looking for something to read, A Place In The West is a good place to go.
