Free is always a good price. Cheers.

More Warren Ellis what I did not know about and that?

Back of the net.

>>3120

Those were my thoughts exactly. He also knocks about on the forum there rather regularly, if that's the sort of thing you're into.

>>3118

Couple of dodgy panels here and there where the art or scenes were crappy but mostly good so far. Sloooow start to it though. You'd hope after a few dozen pages it had a story going. I suppose that is the kind of thing you can get away with or experiment with when you're doing a free web comic.

>>3122

>Sloooooow start

Too right. It takes about a year's worth of panels to get past day one. I found myself more and more enjoying it as it went on, though.

>>3123

I think it is just as well I have the luxury of going through all of these first time around. If I had to wait a week just to have a one or two panel update with no text or even a handful of the same then I'd have just got bored of waiting for a story to appear and left it.

>>3124
yep, that's pretty much what I did. I didn't realise it was still going.

Well I've read about three year's (I think) worth of these, from first to latest and the story would have probably made about a couple of short chapters in a novel.

TOO BLOODY SLOW

Page after page and panel after panel of no story and no text padding. Sometimes six pages without a word or any real significant storytelling. This is not good. I'm not under the impression I deserve my money back or anything, just seems a shame not to pick it up a bit and tell the story before we all die of old age or the project does instead.

It's potentialy great and what is there is enjoyable, but it seems seriously flawed in that sense.

>>3126

Ellis always does this. I'm sure I remember a Transmet issue with about two dialogue bubbles in it.

I can imagine the art-only panels would work much better in the collected book issues. But I refuse to pay for it when I've just read it for free.

>>3127

I don't think I can wait four years to get to the end of a chapter though.

been reading this for a while, its pretty good, the art can be a little sketchy on perspectives sometimes, and, having seen some line art before colouring, cant help its the colourists fault sometimes, aside from that its pretty fun.

>>3118
Thanks for this. Spent a lot of today reading through these and have got to book 4. I'm really enjoying them.

The artist can't draw guns or tools. He's never seen a pickaxe, that's for sure.

I don't come on /com/ very often but started getting into comics more when my friend leant me some of his graphic novels. FreakAngels was pretty good. Any other good online webcomics that are free?

Am I the only one who cringed that the premise involves a group of young adults based in the hipster mecca?

>>3148

You are not the only one, don't worry.

>fooking

Stopped reading. No one says 'foo king'. As opposed to what? 'Fackin'? Is that how we are to read the uninflected word?

The 'uh' in the Manc 'fuckin' is a 'u'. The 'a' in the Landan 'fackin' is an 'a'.

Once I thought the above, I began to hear the accents of the other twats, all of whom I hope are dead immediately. It is a comic made for the Barleyer-than-thous.

Read through, enjoyed the wit/thought etc, but the constant lundun twattery "Alice Whippetminge" and such bollocks is a bit irritating. Unlike the above poster however, I like the concept enough I'll overlook the fact some of the characters are Southern arseholes

A lot of it felt like a parody, it was such a fake and forced stereotype. Very much like watching Americans pretend to be British.

>>3150

That did annoy me too. A lot. If I didn't know who Ellis was I'd assume he wasn't British. I suppose he just doesn't go out much, or something.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the length of this thread, though. /com/ is rather cobwebby but it seems all seven of us have weighed in on this one, for whatever reason.

on a similar note, has anyone read Supergod?

>>3161

No. Is it any cop?

>>3150

'fooking', not 'foo king'. the 'oo' needs to be read the same way you'd say 'oop north'. She's a chav, in case you haven't noticed.

I really like this. It's been going since 2008 and nothing has fucking happened so far though.

>>3168

Indeed. Been going for years and the story has only just got through the introductions.

TOO SLOW

I don't want to die before finishing the comic and I have my doubts that the creators will survive either.

He also seems to like drawing hair flying about an awful lot.

>>3161

This is really good.

It's finished. Complete. That was sudden.

>>3279
I agree it just kind of... ended? very poor ending for such an outstanding comic.

It's finished? Great, now I can read it all in one go.

His art really isn't the best, is it?

Oh my Jesus. Hipsteroonie!

Kind of obvious he just got bored with it. At the pace he was going it would have taken a billion years to tell the story. As it is we spent several years being drip fed what would only just make a short story.

Not the best way of managing it. The art was really quite shoddy in parts and there were a few unintentional funnies from the authors clearly just winging it instead of knowing what they were writing or drawing.

>>3282

Since when was that hipster?

Well I saw the ending coming about halfway through. But yeah it doesn't make any goddamn sense.

>>3285

The funniest part is that if someone was following it they would have watched the people floating and emitting light for about 3 months.

>>3286

3 months?

Floating and emitting light probably accounts for about half of the entire story.

>>3287

Let's not exaggerate, it was only the last 16 weeks or so that they were floating and emitting light.

>>3288

A length of time that boggles the mind.

What were these writers thinking? Seems like this ended up an abortion.

Hmm. Has any one been struck by the similarity of the Freakangels to the Endless from The Sandman? Goth chick - check, goth bloke - check, bonkers bald bird with mysterious knowledge - check.

I'm only 14 episodes in mind, Nothing continues to happen at an incredible speed, but at least there's some character establishment...

>>3295

>Nothing continues to happen at an incredible speed, but at least there's some character establishment

That's pretty much it. Soon you won't even have that.

>>3295
It's a checklist of what boring young teenagers think is cool.

>>3303
Teenagers think bald women are cool?

>>3304
You tell me.

>>3304
I bonked a chick with a shaved head at a german music festival. When I awoke in the tent in the morning, for a horrible moment I thought I'd pulled a bald man. Also she got me to massage suntan lotion lotion onto her shiny head after she woke up, and she had a really shitty antifa tat of a swastika in a circle with a line through it. Unfortunately, from a distance and when it started getting dark it just looked like she had a nazi tattoo.
The entire thing was bloody weird.

A bit like this comic. It started really well, I really got into it, and then the last 3rd was just a total mess, just dreadful. What a waste of a decent concept.

>>3317
What a tangent!
