East of West, Issue #26 is fairly easy to follow if you remember Issue #25 and its protagonists. It starts with the final meeting of the Chosen. Surprisingly, Madame President Antonia La Vey appears, as do Xiaolain and Prince Freeman. This issue is mostly about the assemblage of the Chosen. For those that don't remember, the "Chosen" are the high-ranking members of the various Nations that formerly made up the United States of America. The Chosen each have a task to complete to bring about the Apocalypse, but many of them have gone against the Apocalypse, such as Crow, Wolf, Governor Ben Solomon, and the Ranger. Death is still looking for his son, so he isn't a part of the meeting.
I don't really know what direction the meeting will take. You have all the main characters assembled at the Southern Gate; many of those characters have weapons drawn. Are they going to be pro-Apocalypse or anti-Apocalypse? Is the Apocalypse going to start in the next issue, or will the Apocalypse be averted in the next issue? I'm really looking forward to Issue #27, as it will change everything. And of course, artists, Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin are doing their job admirably, as is my favorite letterer, Rus Wooton.
