Wow, what a great episode of FA. I really loved the last full page panel. Also I kinda noticed that there seemed to be even more detail than previous chapters. Maybe Paul is getting even better (like the details of the bootlaces in p2 panel 1). It makes sense I reckon; you do something for fifty episodes, you'll be better at 50 than at 1.

So, anyway, now I'm wondering - did Kait kill that guy, or did she find his body? From the composition of the art I reckon she's just come across his body.

"Brilliant" may be subjective; but how, exactly is that subtle?

Isn't about time we found out whether Luke is a sociopath or has an actual beef? ---- Because the lot of Freak Angels seem to have some level of anti-social personal disorder.

I sometimes have fun pointing out to people who use food stamps (a government aid program in the US) that Red Bull and other energy drinks aren't considered to be food and thus aren't covered. Because it asks the question, if they aren't food, what are they? And then I allow as how Red Bull isn't really food but instead a mutagenic chemical that alters a person's genetic code to literally give them wings. And several aggressive, untreatable cancers as well...

Wow! Tough comment critique. This scene, with the last image, can be called subtle in the wider sense that the comic has not resorted to dialogue or narration to tell us "medicine is short", but is actually forcing us to follow along with the visual information on the page and generally pay attention. It's an understated delivery of a significant plot point and, because it forces us to participate with the art to grasp the message, it makes more of an emotional impression on the reader. I believe this is generally what the user before you meant by "subtle and brilliant".

We're meant to see the murder as one of the ways in which the Freakangerls are threatening to exhaust their resources, in this case, the resource of social order. Now, if I were in a Warren Ellis story I would know better than to take comfort in any whimsical notion of "anticipated rate of attrition." I would fucking sacrifice a goat every time a shadow crossed over the sun. You just can't take status quo for granted.

Funnily enough I have recently been re-reading my old 2000ADs and this week in prog 282 (18 September 1982) came across a letter from Earthlet Warren Ellis of Benfleet, Essex, praising the then-recent Apocalypse War sequence in Judge Dredd and adding, 'and now, as the people of Mega City One look to the mammoth task of rebuilding, I wonder whether the ravaged earth will finally know peace?'

From one apocalypse to another, the rebuilding continues...]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0050 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5434&Focus=141421#Comment_141421 2009-03-27T10:07:10-07:00 2013-05-24T02:30:51-07:00 johnjones http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1052 I've wondered about this several times.

Aside from the points that Andre brought up, maybe KK just enjoys the hard, physical work of construction using her own hands and tools.]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0050 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5434&Focus=141425#Comment_141425 2009-03-27T10:18:19-07:00 2013-05-24T02:30:51-07:00 rickiep00h http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2930 And sweat is sexy. sexy.]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0050 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5434&Focus=141432#Comment_141432 2009-03-27T10:48:19-07:00 2013-05-24T02:30:51-07:00 Flabyo http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1306 It seems that for any given individual FreakAngel the actual power level varies.

This episode was beautiful all around... except that last shot of Luke. Here I thought, wow, Luke really looks nice in that light and that angle, and then BAM!

How does this throw the natural balance outta whack?

Also, other than Jack & Sirkka, they decided early on that mating with each other would be a Bad Idea. Or maybe they just didn't fancy each other.

Got more questions than answers here, Warren. I s'pose that's the point, though.

So having to cut barrells must not be anything new.

Applying scientific rules to what the FA can do, i.e. if they can move some things around then they can move anything around, and then coming up short, doesn't mean anything. There's nothing in the book that told you these are science-based powers. To me, they seem to follow a more intuitive logic that better resembles magic. What the Freakangels can and cannot do falls more in the line of Defensive and Destructive, not Proactive or Constructive. They can use their genius to nurture growth slowly, but not enact it directly. They can apply their powers toward a limited set of ends, not necessarily in an ordered set of means. It seems they will have to sit and wait for age to come, before they can really get their powers to just create a better world around them at the snap of a finger. Such is the way that human talents work in general. Pretty basic, really.

Luke is really setting up to be a bad guy. But I'm not sure murder is where he'd go. Maybe, if someone disrespected him enough and couldn't match his powers. But he does strike me as addicted to using his power as well as lording it over others. He is fairly megalomaniacal, which is the only way I can explain that crazed look on his face. He doesn't care to mend his ways and he doesn't care to keep hidden from the cohort who he knows will find him out.

before I got to the great and awesome, I spent most of my week sitting around in bed, reading The Picture of Dorian Gray which i hadn't gotten around to reading yet. We've hit a hideous cold spell here in KY and my arthritis has been a royal bitch.

me and my hubs had a good friend who is considering going into business with us. He's a martial arts teacher who happens to have enough cash to start up a new business. We're thinking White Crow Comics and Kung Fu! We're going to buy a building with enough floor space to set up for both, the martial arts would be taught at night and the shop run during the day. Also if there is room, I'll be continuing my hippywear/pagan supplies section...so it might be White Crow Comics, Curiousities, and Kungfu.
