The volume begins with literal world building. The Freakangels crew had rebuilt what they imagined society was before the book started, but at the end of the last volume, they realized they could do so much more. So we begin with the So Much More, using their powers to try and return their area of the world to something more resembling 19th century, and then 20th century society.

It's a fast, interesting read, but it pretty quickly veers into internal politics among the Freakangels and sets a breakneck pace of plot points to set up some cliffhangers before we get into volume four.

They're all solid. And I'm enjoying the series, but I felt like I read this volume in five minutes. That, as fast as it moved, I felt like it was one issue's worth of plot points spread into six issues worth of pages.

The art is fine but it makes me feel like I'm reading a fantasy sequence that takes place during www.questionablecontent.net .

This book keeps getting better. I may just be saying that because it's fitting within comic conventions a bit more. The opening pages serve the same function of those one-page recaps in Marvel comics from the late 1990s, reminding you who all the characters are, and most of the plot that's happened. Kait's policework on the mystery at the center of the plot is interesting, though it's frustrating that it isn't resolved by the end of the book. The cliffhanger at the end is probably also reminiscent of floppy comics from the late 90s and other eras. I guess I'll just have to go online to see how it ends.

Things take a dark turn in Whitechapel...

Possibly not my favourite story arc so far (I guess I'll always have a special fancy for the first volume); although it may just be that this is the first one I read as it was posted online week by week, rather than in huge breathless chunks.

In notice 3 Ellis had written "we’re actually still inside the first 24 hours of the story. It could take me three years just to reach the end of the first week. I might die of old age before I reach the end of the first month."
Cheeky Warren... 3 episodes later, volume three begins with a "One week later" heading.

The FreakAngels that surfaced in volume two are given special prominence, particularly Kaitlyn.
And in the very last page...

the action is finally revving up. love how there is never more than 4 panels on a page. awkward amy winehouse reference :/

Another excellent volume. We finally get a look at Mark, and it's great to see Luke just messing things up for everybody. The characters and ideas presented continue to be strong, and the art, as always, is utterly gorgeous. Great stuff.

soooo... onto book four, then.

cool

The intrigue is increasing as more violence and conflict start breaking apart the non-so-happy FreakAngel family. With the inclusion of a couple of different mysteries, both in the past and present, and yet another of the 'angels going rogue, the story is well setup for an interesting volume 4.

There is something so...gorgeous about the writing and illustration in this volume. The detail is amazing and the dialogue is revealing. My favourite so far.
