I really like Freakangels, so I may as well say this at the start of the review. The grateful populace keeps them supplied with food and clothing – but, unbeknown to them, the Freakangels have a big secret… Though they keep their powers a secret, they use them to protect their territory by gaining advance warning of raider attacks. The city’s inhabitants have moved upwards to the roofs of the remaining buildings still standing, and are building rooftop gardens and improvising sewage and power systems, whilst trying to fend off the occasional incursions from marauding raiders armed with harpoons.Īmong them are the Freakangels, twelve telepathic twentysomethings with pale skin and violet eyes. Warren Ellis’s Freakangels webcomic is set in a flooded London in the not-too-distant future, where steam powered ships and flying bicycles have replaced the Tube as people’s preferred methods of transport. It’s the end of the world as we know it, and humanity feels fine. “I’ve written two hundred pages, and I still have no idea what it’s about”. ![]()
