"23 years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. This is the story of what happened next."

Freakangels Volume 1
My Review 
Freakangels is a published webcomic, however it was designed for the graphic novel format from the start. A mature story that contains violence, guns, nudity and promiscuity (in the case of one or two characters), Freakangels is amazingly drawn and very well written.

It is the story of the Freakangels - a group of children born with unusual powers, that they used to change the world, and are now trying to cope and make amends by helping hold together a small community after what was effectively the apocalypse. Each of them has their own problems, each is a very distinct personality, and none of them really have any idea of what their powers mean or where they'll end up.

There are books being released regularly, in both hardback and paperback.
