ARTIST: PUAL DUFFIELD
UPDATES: ONCE AWEEK
ARCHIVE: EPISODES 135 IN A 5 BOOK SET
RATED: MATURE
GENRE: APPOCALITIC FUTURE
This week should be a good week I should be able to do at least 3 web comic reviews. This webcomic I came across while looking for a different type of comic to look over. This comic is called Freak Angles. This is another post apocalyptic comic but it's different from most I see online and the title is miss leading. Let's take closer look.
PROS: The refreshing art style captures the atmosphere of this comic very well. The writing is superb with how the characters come to life with smart dialog. That being said there is plenty of profanity in this one, hence the A nice size archive of for new readers to dive into. It is easy to navigate this site and there is busy forum to join.
CONS: This is just a average web page for a comic press template. The page turn buttons work fine but they are a bit different from what we are used to. You can't easily go from the first page to the last page. You have to use those side archive links to do that. One big downer for this comic is you can't post your comments on the pages. I guess you'll have to use the forum.
LAST WORD: Wow... this story is griping right from the get. Excellent work Warren! This comic I first thought-- I would have to force myself to read 10 or more pages. I was wrong, the story just kept my interest. I highly recommend this one. Yayyy no zombies in site. I like zombie movies as much as everyone else but they seem to be tied to much to apocalyptic futures way too much for me. It has been a real struggle to find a well drawn comic that has PR over 4 and I'm glad I found one. It gives me hope. You guys would have scored higher if you web page was a little more flashy.

| OVERALL SCORE: 8.6 CONCEPT: 10 Freak Angles is about is about 12 strange children who born 23 years ago and then 6 years ago the world ended. This story tells what happens next. The story comes off different then what you would expect. Very original! ART: 9.5 The art from the figure drawing to the backgrounds is well done. I like that artist gives this world his own touch with each character. A job well done Paul. COLORING: 9.0 The coloring fits the web comic well, but it doesn't have that pop or take it to another level with affects like Red's Planet or Drowtales . WRITTING AND SPELLING: 10 The writing for this story is what keeps your interest on this comic. A excellent job Warren! The spelling and grammar appear to be flawless. WEB PAGE LAYOUT: 7.5 I was not impressed at all with this template but it works and it loads fast. It is pretty easy to navigate this site but you have know where to look to go to the very first page. All these options are on the right side of this comic. You can flip through recent pages just the buttons are different. You can't comment on pages you must join the forum that seems lively. ENTERTAINMENT: 9.5 Not a easy comic to stop reading once you begin. Some comics I have to skip from the beginning to almost the middle, because that's when they start to get really good. This is not one of them, I think you will read this from cover to cover... POST FREQUENCY: 5.5 Once a week in full color is okay. I am unsure if they mean one page or one episode which is 6 pages at once? You know I don't like to guess so I will say the post one page. POPULARITY: 8.0 Now this comic has there act together with the right balance of a great story, very good art and a Page Rank of 5. The don't have a set up for comment so I don't know how many people tune in but their forum looks lively. This comic also has decent PRs of a 2-3 on previous pages. How did they manage to do that?! |

Nice choice of comic to review. And you're right about the color being just a bit on the bland side.
Thanks, I try. you actually give me a good example of other different types of comics to look at. It's funny, sometimes ones I think I won't like end up being ones I really like. Keep up the good job, Delos.
