Freakangels, Vol. 4 [Paperback]

Warren Ellis (Author), Paul Duffield (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2006

Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They've made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders - but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. In fact, there's a serial killer stalking in their midst, and one of their own has broken their most valued rule. Volume Four of award-winning author Warren Ellis' ongoing web comic, Freakangels, is here! This installment collects the entire fourth arc of the post-apocalyptic saga into 144 gorgeous, full-color pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars When we made the world end, August 16, 2010

This review is from: Freakangels, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

volume four will reveal how it all began (and ended). Poor supenormal kids hunted like criminals defend themselves and try to make a point...but the exercise of their full power will bring about, unwittingly, the end of the world as we knew it. And back to flooded london, an unexpected return, when Arcady sees in the future, Luke meets its end (really?) and Karl takes care of the weather. Mili the Doctor will have a field day, as Sirkka's love for Jack is put to a fatal strain and Connor leaves home.

A magnificent portrait of the Post-apocalypse you won't want to stop reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars What if...?, January 20, 2012

By 

William Zacariah Bubb "Mr_Dichotomies" (Snowmass Village, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freakangels, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

Warren Ellis has created a post-apocalyptic England where the new and the old clash in perfect proportion. Imagine the children of Village of the Damned have grown up... The story, in inimitable Ellis style, features not just physical conflicts with enemy powers, but also the day-to-day conflicts of personalities trying to get along with each other while exploring amazing powers that even their owners can't fully understand. Top off the story with the gorgeous art of Paul Duffield and you have one of the best graphic novels of all time. These are the kinds of books that make me jealous of anyone getting to read them for the first time, because you never know what you are going to find when you turn the next page. Enjoy!
