I have to be honest I often feel like Spider, but I dont have the guts to act like him haha. Prophetic for 1997, Ellis nails the subject matter and the art is pretty darn good for mid/late 90's. Spider is a journalist that has been in hiding and comes back to the city to only see its a nightmare filled with police brutality, TV overload, and religious cults. The personality on spider is comical and in your face, which i found to be really entertaining. Ellis really does a great job andA wordy but worthy comic. Even better than i remember but perhaps the current political/social climate has something to do with that.
Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan is one unique work. Reminiscent of series like Preacher and Crossed, it can be very shocking. But it IS good. The story revolves around Spider Jerusalem a journalist who had gone to live in the mountains. His publisher makes him come back to the "City" and we are off on a marvelous satire of modern life. Transmetropolitan does not pull punches- from its dystopian future where overcrowded cities are clearly divided into upper, middle and lower class areas to the
What can I say? I love the main character.Loony, unpredictable, mood-swingy Spider Jerusalem (I'm excited to find out about his name) - fighter for truth and justice :D kh..khhh..He's on a roll from the very start:"Working this tollbooth all week, pissing in a whiskey bottle and weakly jerking off over the radio porn that aerial picks up...must be a tough life. But you really are everything I moved to the mountains to escape from. A worthless scrap of frogshit with a pulse and a bit of
Reading the first volume of Transmetropolitan for the first time, I feel that I've been shot between the eyes with a bullet coated in a variety of psychedelic drugs which is giving me the trip of my life as I die. There's more ideas per page than I think I've ever seen in a graphic novel before.It's not just that though, it's the heart and soul that comes pouring off the pages as well. The author is angry about so many things - the violence and brutality of the police, the corruption of the
Everyone seems to love this! Whether they are reviewing the series or just this first volume is sometimes unclear, but with this first installation I was mostly disappointed. It's one of those comics series that you hear about here and there, so I decided to give it a go. And to me it mainly seemed crude just for the hell of it, and with characters that you're not supposed to care about or relate with. Spider is supposedly meant to be a moral character, and yet when the story starts it is made
Comics have been going through a very public struggle with maturity for some time now. They were well on their way to catching up with other art forms until they were hit with the 'Comics Code' in the fifties. The code was an outgrowth of reactionary postwar witch-hunting a la McCarthyism, and succeeded in bowdlerizing and stultifying an entire medium for thirty years.For example, all crime had to be portrayed as sordid, and no criminals could be sympathetic. There goes any comic book retellings
