I really dig this one because it's where the interpersonal stuff starts to get super screwed. Part of that is just seeing how truly mad Kait is (Haha, Quincy...), which makes me happy. Also, seriously, her and Miki. Maaaaan. And then her and Arkady! "It's the law." Looooove.
But I also think a huge part of my love for this one is the egg/chicken discussion between Jack and Connor which for some reason makes me unreasonably happy.

This book keeps getting better. I may just be saying that because it's fitting within comic conventions a bit more. The opening pages serve the same function of those one-page recaps in Marvel comics from the late 1990s, reminding you who all the characters are, and most of the plot that's happened. Kait's policework on the mystery at the center of the plot is interesting, though it's frustrating that it isn't resolved by the end of the book. The cliffhanger at the end is probably also remin

I heard it put that Warren Ellis's writing is like 70s prog rock and I think that is an apt description. It takes some time to get there, but if you stick with it and you're in the right mindset you'll end up enjoying it.
I'm enjoying FreakAngles mostly due to the strong art and deliberate story telling. He's taking the time to build characters and has given me enough to be engaged with where he's going.

Funny how something that took about 6 months to read by 6-page Friday installment ends up not much more than half an hour when you have it in book form. It can be less frustrating this way... even, for some reason, the cliff-hanger ending doesn't bother me so much at the end of the book as I thought it would, but it can also be less rewarding not to get the enforced time to dwell on each set of 6 pages that the weekly format gives you. There is a bunch of stuff that happens in the middle, and a

The intrigue is increasing as more violence and conflict start breaking apart the non-so-happy FreakAngel family. With the inclusion of a couple of different mysteries, both in the past and present, and yet another of the 'angels going rogue, the story is well setup for an interesting volume 4.

Great stuff, and highly recommended. This is what I think JMS' Rising Stars should have been, but wasn't.

Excellent illustrations and snappy writing. Should be read in order though.

Another excellent volume. We finally get a look at Mark, and it's great to see Luke just messing things up for everybody. The characters and ideas presented continue to be strong, and the art, as always, is utterly gorgeous. Great stuff.
