Just started this one. (at episode 0028)

Does Arkady remind anyone of Delirium of the Endless?

Absolutely. I think that's part of the reason I like her so much--I'm not very far yet, and I'm interested to see how the other characters develop, but so far I think Arkady is my favorite. Her personality is such a great combination of whimsical and terrifying.

Been meaning to read FreakAngels for the last year and a half. I'm excited to finally get to it.

absolutely, I kept thinking of Del! Scrambled yet extremely powerful in the few times she is able to think clearly. And so sweetly innocent. They even have a similarly odd style of dress, although I think that Arkady's barbie jacket has to win for best odd fashion statement! It's actually really cool!

[Dawn]

finished it. mind blown...

I just started it and I'm enjoying it. :) Can't wait to read the rest.

I'm really glad to see that so many people are reading and enjoying FreakAngels! FreakAngels is one of my favorite webcomics and it's about time that it became a WotM.

Seconded on all counts. :) I started this in August not knowing what to expect and loved it so much I read it all in less than three days. Have the trades now and am looking forward to rereading.

The cast is really strong in general, but you've perfectly summed up why Arkady is my favorite. I really liked Connor as well.

Finished rereading Vol 1. The subtleties and personalities given just through character interactions is astounding. If possible I'm enjoying it even more this time through.

Vol 1 review.

I'm reading this too. I just started last night and I would be a lot farther if my laptop wasn't in for repair. I really hate reading on the desk top. I ordered the whole series from the library, so hopefully they get here in a couple days. Until then, I'll be inching along. I love the multidimensional characters. I've been wanting to read this for a long time, so I'm glad it's a WotM.

So, I'm at episode 0061 and there's something that's bugging me. (view spoiler)[Can someone explain why everyone's okay with Sirkka having a bunch of love slaves but they all flip out over Luke using his powers to make girls sleep with him? Not that I am in any way condoning his actions, mind you--he did a horrible, disgusting thing and he should be punished for it--but if it's not okay for him to do it, it's not okay for Sirkka either. Have all her girls and boys consented to what she does to them? Because while that's possible, it...doesn't exactly look like that to me--they kind of look drugged, and she seems to have them under some kind of freaky mind control, at least to some degree. (hide spoiler)] Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts or insights on the subject.

[Kristen]

To answer your question, Kayleigh: (view spoiler)[It's consensual. They are just a bunch of sexually charged hippies. I think it's one of those "it's the end of the world, so let's change the rules" kind of thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Kayleigh]

Ah, okay then. (view spoiler)[That thought occurred to me, and given how Sirkka reacts to Luke's behavior, she seems disinclined to do that kind of thing herself, but the exact nature of her relationship(s) with her girl/boyfriends isn't entirely clear. I couldn't be sure if giving them a subtle nudge was okay but she drew the line at outright controlling them, if they were all already messed up in the head and Sirkka views this as a way to protect and take care of them, or if they'd all entered into the arrangement of their own free will. Good to know that it's the latter. (hide spoiler)]

I just had to share this:

I got my husband to read this and he enjoyed it (figured out a couple of the plot twists before I did, to be sure!) quite a bit.

Tonight, however, he woke up from a nap and informed me he had a really strange dream. The short version is that he was the captain of a smuggler/scavenger boat in the FreakAngels world and his crew was pretty much the entire cast of Big Bang Theory--

The mind boggles.

Penny was 1st mate (she had a surprising talent for sailing), Howard was engineer, Raj went all Cap'n Nemo, and Sheldon was knocked down to Howard's assistant. Mostly to keep him under some control, although later my DH "promoted" him to science officer and he then tracked and mapped the various fields fluctuating around Britain. Which, of course, he was good at.

Apparently there were some Sheldon attempts at mutiny early on, since he thinks he should be at the top of any command structure, but he does overall respect a good chain of command (and all y'all don't know my husband--I think he could control Sheldon if he had to).

FreakAngels does have a way of lingering in the mind, does it not?

[Madeleine]

That's pretty funny. :)
