FreakAngels, Vol.1-6

I originally read FreakAngels as an online comic which you'd read two or three pages every week but besides the maddening wait of reading a comic  in such small increments over such a long stretch, I never got the handle of viewing a comic page on the computer, and always ended up scrolling around and around to "see" the whole page.
When they'd amassed a books' worth of chapters, they'd release them into beautiful trade paperbacks, and it was these that I really loved reading. And at the end of the whole series, they even offered up a FreakAngels slipcase to house all 6 books, an time I picked up for myself!
Well, the series had its ups and downs, and though the conclusion to the series was kind of subdued, the futuristic story of 12 children born at the same time with strange powers who "break" the world as teens and spend the rest of their lives trying to fix it, is full of so much good stuff, great characters, wonderful, witty dialog, and absolutely nail-biting situations that I 'll read this one again and again!
