The series wraps up with a very satisfying bang. After years of watching the real-world mass media play lapdogs to their paymasters, it’s a great wish-fulfilment fantasy to see journalists with the guts to take on the establishment and actually force it to back down. I can only hope that this will inspire enough future journalists to develop a devotion to the Truth worthy of a Spider Jerusalem. (Some already are.) Hope, and chip in when the real journalists are passing the hat. ( )

Spider Jerusalem är en bitter, högteknologisk journalist som ställer sig upp mot en obegripligt ond president. Warren Ellis magnum opus. Välberättat och vältecknat. Bitter, sorgsen, våldsam, brittisk. ( )

One of the most consistently brilliant comics I have ever read. The last volume of the series brings it all back to the beginning, and has an ending that is so perfect, you will be left shaking your head and smiling. ( )

Spider and his crew of filthy assistants are still dodging attempts on their lives, but Spider finally has an ace to play. He has evidence of a Kent State style massacre, and finally the media will display some backbone, especially after The Smiler has declared martial law.

Spider gets to face down The Smiler just this one more time.
