July 2021

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

June 2021

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.

It's really interesting to see the Half-Life universe in the point of view from citizens and refugees. It has a pretty interesting story and the characters are great too. Now if Valve would make a Half-Life comic, that would be extraordinary

March 2017

It's good fanmade comic. Great little bite of half lifey goodness for those who need a fix. Considering it's a comic, I won't go into the story as that would defeat the point. It has a nice art style, expands on the Half-Life mythos a little bit. I woudln't call it a compelling read by by any stretch, but a fan of comics or half-life with some time to burn should enjoy it. One thing is nobody knows if they will actually finish the series. Plus there are achievements, which are nice.

Jan. 2017

Great little comic story about Half Life Universe. Really amazing work for free. The commentary i only watched 8 mins is great also. Support this little but amazing good/ friendly developer, to play the game. I give 77 % for "Comic Fans" & 82 % for achievement hunters (you can get them very fast/ easy). Thx 4 reading.
