I spent the weekend catching up with FreakAngels. Like, the last 18 or so episodes. Following up the first half-dozen that I started a week ago. Okay, okay, so I’m late to the party. But better late than never, right?
I really enjoyed it. And that’s not meant to sound like I’m surprised, just that I wasn’t sure what to expect. I tend to like just about everything Warren Ellis writes, and I admit to knowing very little of Paul Duffield’s work (although I hope to remedy that), but I am real interested in these characters – who they are and what they do – the people around them, and where they live.
Each episode is six pages, there are twenty-four episodes currently, with the twenty-fourth being the conclusion of act one, which will be bound and collected and can be ordered in the September Previews catalog, under the Avatar Press section. I believe there will be three versions of the book.
I added a little widget to the sidebar that will connect you to the FreakAngels site, something I found while reading one of the intermissions Ellis wrote. What the hell, I figure. I’m happy to promote something I’m enjoying. And this comic is something I recommend.
I think I’m going to like watching what happens in this world Ellis and Duffield created.
