Whitechapel

Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They've made a new friend, and together they've successfully defended their home from outside attackers, a ghost from the past, and threats from within. In Volume Five, everything you thought you knew about the 'Angels is wrong. In fact, much of what they thought was true simply hadn't been sufficiently examined. While Alice keeps watch over Whitechapel from the watchtower, the twelve reunited Freakangels down below are forced to re-examine their lives… and their deaths!

Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years later, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They've made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders — but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. Night has only just fallen, but strangers already creep through Whitechapel with the worst of intentions and the weapons to see them through! Volume Two of award-winning author Warren Ellis' ongoing web comic, Freakangels, is here!

1888 bringt ein bis heute anonymer Mörder vier Prostituierte im Londoner Stadtteil Whitechapel um. Morde von ausgesprochener Brutalität: den vier Dirnen werden die Kehlen aufgeschlitzt, ihre Unterleiber werden verstümmelt. Die Person und die Motive des Täters liegen bis heute im Dunkeln. 1988 begann Alan Moore die Arbeit an »From Hell«. Zehn Jahre sollte er für dieses monumentale Werk benötigen, das mehr ist als nur eine minutiöse Aufarbeitung und Interpretation der Ereignisse in und um Whitechapel jener Tage…

Un anciano psíquico va al cementerio de Whitechapel a medianoche. Presiente que algo va a ocurrir, y así es. Durante una violenta tormenta, una tumba se abre y emerge Vampirella… Vampirella le explica al vidente quién/qué es y éste le dice que en la ciudad de Whitechapel hay un mausoleo dedicado a Lilith, y que está lleno de vampiros.
