Looking fantastic, and being done by some comics pros: co-written by Eric Trautmann (Checkmate, Perfect Dark Zero, Final Crisis: Resist) and Brandon Jerwa (Battlestar Galactica, Highlander, G.I. Joe), with art by Mirco Pierfederici (Doctor Who, Star Trek Alien Spotlight).  This is <i>just<\/i> getting running, so its the perfect time to get started, and it looks to follow the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freakangels.com\">Freakangels<\/a> format of 6 pages a week every Friday.  The initial Week 0 teaser is bringing Joshua Ortega and Francis Manapul&#8217;s recentish comic <i>The Necromancer<\/i> to mind, which is not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/monstercommute.jpg\" alt=\"Monster Commute\" title=\"Monster Commute\" \/><\/div>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.monstercommute.com\/\">Monster Commute<\/a><\/b>: Okay, so I&#8217;ve already known about this one and have been reading it regularly, but it is great fun and this gives me an excuse to link to it. I love it and I don&#8217;t even drive! Brought to you by Daniel m.

Nahuelpan B. I seriously hope this one gets picked up, but I&#8217;ve consciously stayed away from the whole Zuda thing so I have no idea what happens if it stays in its current #4 spot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/shaobaibai.png\" alt=\"Shaobaibai\" title=\"Shaobaibai\" \/><\/div>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/shaobaibai-en.webcomics.fr\/page\/the-immortal-and-the-iron-crutch\">Shaobaibai<\/a><\/b>: Another fairly new comic, nicely stylized in a way that brings Samurai Jack to mind, but with a lovely warrior maiden who seems to have done something bad and is now stuck on the borders of Hell because its gatekeeper won&#8217;t let her in(?).  From French creator Fred Boot, but kindly translated to English for those of us who never really learned anything in 3 years of French classes&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/survivingtheworld.jpg\" alt=\"Surviving the World\" title=\"Surviving the World\" \/><\/div>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/survivingtheworld.net\/\">Surviving The World<\/a><\/b>: This one&#8217;s a bit different, amuses like <a href=\"http:\/\/thisisindexed.com\/\">indexed<\/a>, but in a slightly different fashion, quite good.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/thesystem.jpg\" alt=\"The System\" title=\"The System\" \/><\/div>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.notquitewrong.com\/rosscottinc\/\">The System<\/a><\/b>: Just enough time to take a peek at this one, but the strips I&#8217;ve looked at certainly amuse.
