    RABBITS!
    Like, no I was thinking to break the pics up with some commentary, which I quite like.

    Sorry folks.
    I’m truly in the middle of two critical deadlines, hopefully something makes sense upon all that…?

    No, wait-- here we go: (my olde review)


    FREAKANGELS (Ellis, Duffield) [British] - Set in and around London, these books are based on a classic SF story in which a group of paranormally-gifted chlldren are born at the same time, in the same area. This version explores the idea of what would happen if they were allowed to grow to adulthood. The result is, well… the collapse of England!

    This series is raw, intense, and features excellent dialogue, even as the characters are more or less constantly fussing & fighting, even as they’re meanwhile growing in ability. I also thought the female leads were especially well-written and convincing. My main quibble with this series is that the day-to-day depiction of the setting, internal logistics and minor characters are so underdeveloped as to be almost nonexistent. This really is all about the relationships between the main characters and how their special abilities impact them. Still, this was otherwise an excellently-developed work… overall the best post-apocalyptic story of paranormal variety I’ve ever read. Note: this was originally an online comic, later issued in GN form. The full run is also archived. --Johnny

    Okay, trying to preserve this one (via Archiva.Org), but having some difficulties, let’s see…
