Freak Angels by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield represents the future of the comic books, though perhaps not the comic book industry.
I say this several simple reasons:
1. all that people need to read this comic is a connection to the internet.
2. broadband is getting less and less expensive by the day
3. it is free to read (and as Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine and TED talks fame pointed out Free is the way of the future
4. it shows that even a free comic book that is read via the web can have a damn good writer / artist team on it. (I really think that this comic represents what Malcome Gladwell’s idea of a tipping point in comics.)
5. it is more than a comic book it is a community, which any reader can join over at the whitechapel.
For real people. This is something big. If you are not a part of it yet you should be. The story is really good (so far) and the art work is beauty.
