Freakangels (comic/webcomic) - very pretty (particularly for a London resident who recognises the flooded setting), with a coherent storyline that ties up everything it opens, at least from the emotional side. Raises questions about power and responsibility, though the answers it gives are not the LW view. I really enjoyed it, but I know I weight worldbuilding and visuals more strongly than many people do.

The character of Arkady in Freakangels is, in actual fact, based on my girlfriend. So there. In looks and name, though not personality. I think everyone should become a comic book character.

I read that as it was ongoing! Second the recommendation, and I'd point out that it's written by Warren Ellis, who also wrote Transmetropolitan and Planetary and The Authority. If you like any of those, you'll probably like the others (I particularly like Transmetropolitan), and if you haven't read any, give one a shot. (FreakAngels is free online and much shorter than Transmetropoitan.)
