Subject 2007, comics, cyberpunk, dystopia, fiction, future, gonzo journalism, graphic novel, journalism, political commentary, political, science fiction, series, social commentary, Transmetropolitan, VertigoRating AWhy PickedI don't even know. I think it is similar to watching a car crash.Summary From the Publisher
Spider Jerusalem continues his one-man crusade against President Callahan. With all his evidence destroyed, Spider tracks down a drug-addicted prostitute who possesses physical proof of the president's corrupt practices and secret assassinations.
Review I am trying to remember which one of these was my favorite. I think that it is the next one but they more I read Spider the more I think that Ellis has his fingers on a pulse that few people can even find. I think that we are headed for political trouble but most people are so lulled into not seeing it, it will seek up on them. For me this is what Spider is about, tearing through the lethargy and making people see the cesspool politics is becoming.First Line"Just a Dream. Just a dream."
