Ellis once again working to confound the tendency that people have to pigeonhole characters or jump to conclusions about what sort of person they are or the role that they fulfill. Today we see that far from being the flighty delicate creature that some have mistaken her for, after her display of strength last week, [...]
This week’s episode, which I am reporting on late thanks to various computer issues, was beautiful. The art work in this series as a whole has been beautiful and it is as much for the ideas that drive the artwork as the artwork itself. But sometimes, as with this week, it is beautiful in the [...]
There is nothing out there quite like it. Ellis is not just creating something that no other major comics writers are creating, namely a webcomic that comes out every week, he is creating a narrative that is pretty uncommon in comics too.
The domesticity of the main characters in this story doesn’t feel like some thin [...]
Today was a very kinetic episode — as usual packed with more than most would be able to get into six pages. Ellis has the use of comics and their panels down to a fine art as far as conveying information goes. Sure, it will be interesting to see how this scans when it finally [...]
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book which may be a stupid thing to say given how much I have read Mr Ellis, both in the form of his graphic novels and the regular missives from his website. What struck me about this book though? That in some ways it was delivered in [...]
I think one of the things that I am enjoying most about the characters of the Freakangels is how we are allowed to see the way the main protagonists have been damaged by whatever event has taken place in the story. They occupy a special place within their community but they are definitely embedded in [...]
This week a lot of the geographical world seemed to hang together more in a visual sense than just a notional one. We got to meet another of the Freakangels: Kirk. The story-telling thus far in both the art and the narrative has a real charm to it — it wraps you up and envelopes [...]
As should be the way, with each new character that is introduced a new layer is added to the story, and thanks to the pacing, the subtlety of which is truly starting to emerge after 6 episodes, each of the characters feels fully rounded and with enough alluded to backstory of a personal nature that [...]
This story gets better and better — the characters already seem to possess so much soul. I remember how by the end of Transmetropolitan, or rather from the beginning, you felt Spider’s reality: it is the same here. Thus far the story-telling has that quality of being deceptively simple but you can perceive the cogs [...]
The internet jesus is back in his kingdom and all is well with the world. The story is shaping up nicely — thus far the episodes have been the equivalent to one of those tracking shots that swoops in and out of the main character’s lives introducing us to them and giving us a feeling [...]
