Synopses & Reviews
Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years later, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They've made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders - but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. Night has only just fallen, but strangers already creep through Whitechapel with the worst of intentions and the weapons to see them through! Volume Two of award-winning author Warren Ellis' ongoing web comic, Freakangels, is here! This installment collects the entire second arc of the post-apocalyptic saga into 144 gorgeous, full-color pages.
