    FreakAngels 0011

    The Story of What Happened Next continues to unfold with a new episode. FreakAngels is a free comic created and written by Warren Ellis, drawn and colored by Paul Duffield, and published each Friday on the web by Avatar Press.

    See Also: discuss the episode, read FreakAngels from the beginning, see if there’s anything you missed, and look at the FAQ.

    And while I’m thinking about it, since we’re several episodes in now it’s worth pointing out a feature you might not be aware of. Let’s say you’re reading this episode and wanted to go back and take another look at what’s been going on with Luke. All you have to do is use the search box on freakangels.com to search on Luke, and you’ll get a complete listing of every episode he’s been in or in which he has been mentioned. This made possible by the handy transcript feature built into every episode.
