Great webcomic you ought check out - FreakAngels by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield.
Begins here, with a four-page tease of character drawings, then continues here with the first six-page episode. So far there are 21 episodes (six pages each).
(There's a graphic-novel printed version of the first story arc due in November)
Here's the first panel of Episode 0001 (click the image for a larger view...):
If you can't read the text and can't or don't want to go to the larger view, it says:
23 years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment.
6 years ago, the world ended.
This is the story of what happened next.
Updates every friday at noon, UK time, which would be either 5PM or 4PM EDT - can't recall if England is on Summer Time or not...
The FreakAngels, the twelve born at the same moment, have strange mental abilities (which seem to vary from one to another) - they all have telepathy and more or less ability to control others' minds, some appear to have telekinesis, and at least one can teleport.
They can be recognised by their strange violet eyes.
Six years ago, they ... did ... something that ended the World As We Know It.
And now they - and other survivors are having to live with the results...
Below are a few other panels from the first 11 or so episodes:

cool artwork
I'm somewhat of a post-apocalyptic fellow, so this is right up my (damnation) alley.

The words are really great, too. Check it out.
exactly NOT what I'm looking for on Mog; thanks for this one, I may get hooked. Already forwarded link to a friend/co-editor/illustrator. And my 10 year old seemed to quite enjoy the first panel. have a nice post-apocalyptic weekend!
Oh my god, how come I didn't see this up till now.
It looks bloody great!
Probably because you don't waste time in the right places - for anyone interested in comics, the ComicMix site has a lot of news and commentary (often only vaguely related to comics, but interesting anyway). That's where i found this originally.
