Comicsphere: How To Be Bulletproof by Kirt E Burdick

This comic has a great feel from the start — an atmosphere that permeates from the establishing panels of the first installment right through to the current week’s episode. It has grit — the same kind of grit that pumped in the blood of those old pulp detective stories; the big heart and the situation [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels Friday Fury

Last week the gun was fired — this week the projectiles hit their target. You know what the first thought was that popped into my head? Too damned easy. And a full on frontal assault against a group like the Freakangels? I know the New Cross crew and Mudlarks are being sold as perhaps not [...]

Full On Freakangels Friday

So, we have seen the freakangels policing each other and now we get to see one go into action against someone who has attacked him. Duffield once again displays a real ability for capturing the kineticism of violence and not a single image strikes you as gratuitous — it is all lean, to the point, [...]

comicsphere: freakangels friday fun

In one place someone settles in and in another place someone is unsettled. Sometimes it is hard to remember that each episode is only six pages long. To do what he does with those six pages every week shows just how on game Ellis; shows how on game Duffield is as well. At his recent [...]

Comicsphere: Mister Crimson by Diego Tripodi

Scouting around my flickr contact’s lists I happened across this character Mister Crimson and followed him here. He is an interesting character described thusly by his creator:
Mister Crimson is the story of a pulp-era superhero that has been abducted through time. Taken from the 1930s, and sent 200 years into the future he is forced [...]

Comicsphere: Chip Zdarsky

I found Chip Zdarsky on twitter in the lists of more than a few people that were following him and have checked out a lot of his work recently and I am really getting into his style. So today I discovered the above strip on The Canadian National Post website (you can click through the [...]

Comicsphere: The Aethereal Adventures of Emma Verne

Meet Emma Verne. Emma is a spunky, street-smart girl who lives aboard the spacefaring airship city Ursae. Raised by her foster parents Lord and Lady Beauvolt, Emma has developed a knack for creating mischief about the city – both helpful and harmful.
But Emma’s troublemaking is quickly overshadowed when a group of orcish immigrants [...]

Comicsphere: Weird Fishes By Jamaica Dyer

If you click the banner above you will be transported to the strange and wonderful world of Dee and Bunny Boy. This webcomic has a real charm. I remember when I first saw it, after it was launched and mentioned on a thread on Warren Ellis’s forum, that the kid in the suit reminded me [...]

Comicsphere: Friday For Freakangels

Today the main thing I think I noticed aside from the main thrust of the story was that the sky had darkened. Today was packed full of siblings acting like siblings — freakangels fighting in the way fox cubs fight.
When KK is present the action ramps up, Connor is a calming influence, Alice makes things [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels On A Friday

Every single character gets the chance shine here. This week we learn that there is more to Sirkka than was first shown us — that she is not just some shallow hedonist lazing around and thinking of pleasure all day. We see more of the idea that being a Freakangel is a responsibility and requires [...]
