Comicsphere: Freakangels Friday

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, [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels 10

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 [...]

Comicsphere: Friday Means Freakangels

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 [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels 8

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.

zoetica

zoetica is pretty much a fixture in my web experience — she is on suicide girls, she’s on coilhouse, flickr, and whitechapel. she is cool as fuck. doesn’t seem to be much that she can’t do — you should check out her work.

Warren Ellis And Computer Trouble

I avidly log in to www.warrenellis.com every day to see what the prolific writer’s eye has been drawn to. i follow and join in the conversations on whitechapel — the community has built around the already brilliant freakangels webcomic. i even check in on his grinding site (something that arose out of Doktor Sleepless). so [...]
