Plug*

As most of you know; I am a big fan of Warren Ellis. It is time again to endorse one of his many projects and maybe convert a few new fans.

If you are in need of some amazing online reading and visual stimulation, my I recommend you to  FreakAngels which is located here. It is free and updated every Friday morning.

If you are unfamiliar with Warren Ellis, a simple Google search will remedy that: just don’t confuse him with the musician. He is the writer. 

He has a staggering amount of material out there and if you need to find some really good places to begin I would suggest ‘Ocean’ or  ‘Orbiter’; which are really excellent stand alone graphic works. Ocean is my personal favorite work by him and I highly recommend it to anyone. If you're in the mood for some good collected series I would point you to ‘Plantary’ or his masterpiece (IMHO) ‘Transmetropolitan’.

Tomorrow sees the release of Vol. Four of the FreakAngles:

I suggest starting at the beginning as linked above.

Mr. Ellis current line of material can be found at Avatar Press. Warren also has a fiction novel available, titled Crooked Little Vein which is a rather amazing read.

He is not for everyone.! You have been warned. Some people find him highly offensive and insulting.

(see > Talk like Warren Ellis for examples) And, in his own words, never assume he is safe for your work computer. Venture into his world with your eyes and mind open; and beware, he can and does bite! LOL, yes, there be arse eels!

freakangels #14


freakangels #14, is up this morning (every friday).
there is an archival located there if you need to catch up.

this is the weekly web comic by warren ellis and paul duffield.

even in absentia, warren brings yet more angst into the fray. now enters jack and sirkka and dungeons.(?)! will the madness end? damn, i hope not.

mr. duffield performs yet another masterful job with his art. the clouds throughout are just so realistic that i can smell the rain. applause for full panel page 4, however, i personally bow down to the steam from jack's boat (bottom panels) on pages 5 and 6. simply remarkable. thanks paul.
