Freakangels volume 5 by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield

Freakangels volume 5 Ellis, Warren and Paul Duffield 144 pages.

In which the powerful young people who accidentally ruined the world discover their possible immortatlity. While this was a big deal, this volume still had a placeholder-between-the-action sort of feel. Great art. I look forward to volume 6.

Freakangels volume four by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield

Freakangels volume four by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield Graphic novel, 144 pages.
The story continues in volumes two, three, and four. We hear more about the banished member of the clan, Mark, and what he did to deserve this treatment. We also meet the remaining clan members, Miki, the doctor, and Kait, the cop (with a taste for minor torture). Luke, whom we met in volume one, seems to be following Mark's example of using normal people to do his bidding by controlling their thoughts. This is against their code. Shooting other people and random bits of mayhem are not against the code, so there is plenty of action in all three volumes. This is an ongoing web-based graphic novel and volume 5 is due out sometime soon. Good fun (in a violent, post-apocalyptic way).

Freakangels volume one by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield

Freakangels volume one by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield, 144 pages, Graphic Novel
There were twelve in the Freakangels clan, together since they were young, and they did a very bad thing and it brought about an end to the world, or at least an end to London. In this first volume we meet the remaining eleven Freakangels when the twelfth, now banished, sends someone back to kill them. Killing them isn't going to be an easy thing , since they all have great mental powers, and can communicate with each other over great distance, hearing each others thoughts. They can read the minds of others and move objects telekinetically. When they work together they have seem to have more power than they can control, and they are still picking up the pieces from the last time they tried. They live in Whitechapel now, growing their own food and helping a group of refugees find enough water and other supplies to survive, while fending off marauding neighbors. There are four volumes so far. It is a well drawn and interesting start to a series. Patrick.
