Recommended Web Comic: Freak Angels

Filed Under: Recommended Media, SF Comics

Warren Ellis is the mad SF prophet of the comics industry. The man lives on the edge of the now, and has a voracious appetite for new things. This makes reading his blog a must. His comics range from gonzo SF future stories like Transmetropolitan to noir detective stories like Desolation Jones. And right now, you can read his latest piece, Freak Angels, for free.

Freak Angels is about purple-eyed psychic people who ended the world when they were teenagers. Now they hold a small civilization together in Whitechapel London. This is a quiet and thoughtful comic, moving at a very leisurely pace, and I love it. I love the hints at their powers and I love the steam tech. There are hints of very bad things to come. One of their former members is out to kill them all. Did I mention that London is under water?

It’s free, and it’s good, so you should read it, okay? Let me know if you like it or even if you don’t. I’m curious to see what others think of it.

Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]

I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:

The Dream Zine?
I hear what you’re thinking, “You mean your dream magazine wasn’t the Fortean Bureau?” At the time, it was everything I could make it be with the constraints (financial, content, format) I worked under. And even though the magazine is on semi-permanent hiatus, I still follow the publishing side [...]

Resting Dragon

Dragon flies are big enough that I can take some very high magnification shots of their faces. They look so unusual at this scale, but quite beautiful, in my opinion.
