There's not a lot to say about a series that is just simply, consistently excellent. (

Very 'All the Presidents Men' and all that, which is fine but not much fun left in the series. (

See my previous reviews of Transmetropolitan if you want a full view of my take on the comics.

This volume struck me largely as a build up to the end.. and the end is near. (

Lepophagus | Jun 14, 2018 |

Volumes 8 and 9 really cemented my love for Spider Jerusalem as a character. While cynical and crude, there's a sort of boyish innocence to him that I really love. His passion is his passion and there was a certain page in volume 9 that, as an aspiring writer, actually got me a little choked up.

The comic is soon coming to a close and I'm going to be sad to see it end. But that just means I'll have to move on to more of Ellis' work. i.e. The Authority. (
