London, steampunk, corsetry and the end of the world...

With a subject line like that, I'm sure some of you already know that this is going to be a FreakAngels post. After all, I know that some of you already read it.

I also know that some of you don't do webcomics, or don't get on with Warren Ellis's stuff, or simply don't like the style/tone/language of this particular piece (it's very pretty but quite slow paced, except when it's suddenly quite violent. There's some bad language, too).

However, it occurred to me that I haven't rambled about it for a while, and there are almost certainly some of you who are 'neither of the above' and might actually quite like it. If so, please do give it a try - the link above goes to the first page of the first episode.

FreakAngels is published weekly, at noon (GMT) each Friday. You get six pages a week, although there are occasional skip weeks. It's intended to run for a long time, and it's being collected in print by Avatar Press (the first collection's due in a week or five).

In that sense, it's something of a publishing experiment - a paper-based comic company backing a creator-owned webcomic project by two people who are already comics professionals, in the hope that it'll sell paper copies as well and will eventually turn into something that's financially viable.

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten to follow up on this one.

Ah, Miss, Miss, can I claim I'm discombobulaic? ie I can't read maps, or numbers, or music, but I have a pretty good internal clock, and y'know, comics, like, dude, I can't even begin to comprehend. Visual processing error.
