This is also the first comic in a long time where I was actually surprised to see what happened from panel ...
Anyone else had a chance to pick this one up? If you have four bucks on you, I can't recommend it enough.]]> Saga http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10553&Focus=326824#Comment_326824 2012-03-15T07:19:05-07:00 2013-05-23T15:42:46-07:00 3millionyears http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=5422 I got it digitally on Comixology - just finished reading (at work) and will be giving it another read tonight!

Definitely grabbing a copy next time I hit my LCS. I may even already have one in my pile (LCS guy has a pretty good idea of what I like/dislike).

(hahaha vagueness ahoy!) ive not been a fan of most of BKV stuff. hes good, but the way his characters talk and lil things like that ...
one thing that i did really like:

Personally, it's like someone is finally writing *for me* again, which is a vibe I'd forgotten about, and thinking back on, haven't really felt so thickly since Transmet ended.]]> Saga http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10553&Focus=329359#Comment_329359 2012-04-12T12:54:48-07:00 2013-05-23T15:42:46-07:00 curb http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1334 Picked up issue two today, and though the reveal on the last page felt a little incongrous to me, I loved the rest of it. So much sheer inventiveness on show here, and no small amount of heart, too.

I was actually worried that, now that I sort of knew what I was getting into, the magic wouldn't be as strong. Nope. It was fucking awesome. And The Stalk... oh ...
Nope. It was fucking awesome.

And The Stalk... oh man, The Stalk. Coolest villain design I've seen in such a long time.

Also, is it just me, or was
The Will's agent hitting on him throughout that whole conversation? If so, gosh, that was cute. Adorbs, even.

She's happy enough to casually off Marko, and then ... She's happy enough to casually off Marko, and then apologising for doing it in front of Allana made her seem even more callous to me. Then again, she was at least kind enough to suggest that Hazel was mercifully killed before the horrors arrived. The pragmatism of her decision to run away was a nice touch, too. Also, I love that they all seem to go by titles, rather than names - just another one of those things that adds some colour to the comic as a whole.]]> Saga http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10553&Focus=329442#Comment_329442 2012-04-13T08:47:13-07:00 2013-05-23T15:42:46-07:00 Alan Tyson http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1299 It's such a nice little bit of worldbuilding that demands no exposition of itself, which is a hard thing to pull off.
