Archangel From The Winter's End Chronicles is a steampunk web series set in 1893 London.

In this alternate history tale, humanity has harnessed the power of both steam and steel to achieve staggering technological advances.

Exploration of the natural world has reached unparalleled heights.

Sadly, instead of this being a golden age of enlightenment, a vast criminal network, known as "The League," has corrupted the world's governments, and oppresses its peoples.

Out of this troubled time arises a vigilante who is dedicated to utterly destroying The League. He comes to be publicly known as Archangel.

Archangel is extremely well-produced, with an aesthetic that represents the best of steampunk, including gorgeous clock-work props, detailed costuming, intricate sets, and sepia-tinged cinematography that gives the series a rich, period feel.

The series is produced by Atlanta Cutlery Corp./Museum Replicas Ltd. - a leading manufacturer of armor, swords, and other edged weapons used to produce collectibles based on many Hollywood properties, such as Game of Thrones.

This explains why the costumes, props, and sets have a verisimilitude often only associated with big-budget period movies.

The cast also rises to the occasion, with the actors turning in fine performances vital in bringing the series to vivid life.

The first episode of Archangel mainly serves as a primer, introducing viewers to this intriguing world and its major players.

~ The city of London, the Year is 1893 ~ This is not the romantic Victorian metropolis we’ve come to know at the end of our 19th Century. Rather, it is a steampunk world that H.G. Wells or Jules Verne would have imagined. The last fifty years have brought advancements in just about every aspect of human endeavor. The world has harnessed the might of steel and the power of steam. Men have conquered the skies, the seas and energies never dreamed imagined. It should be a time of peace and great celebration. But as the world’s technology progresses, so does the vermin that infest and prey upon the weak. People can no longer live free or without fear. Skyraiders, crime bosses and gangs now control London and other capital cities throughout the world. And, the infestation is spreading. These enemies strike from the air with their powerful lighter-than-air warships and descend upon the cities of the world without warning. They attack worldwide ports with ships of iron, which can submerge beneath the waves, free from any counterstrikes. Governments promise protection, however the underworld juggernaut, known as The Legion, have placed many of their puppets within the ruling class and pay them to look the other way at these raids. However, a new resistance is forming. It has started in the city of London and is growing. It is lead by a vigilante known only as, The Archangel. His methods are vicious, his purpose is known. He and his freedom fighters will not rest until every last one of these villains lay dead by their hands.

The second episode of the series is also available Archangel Episode II.

More episodes are planned, which will expand the mythology of the series.

Archangel is yet another promising web series in the increasingly popular steampunk genre. With its fascinating premise and exceptional production value, I look forward to seeing more stories set in this imaginative world.
