Story: This volume actually gives us a lot of world building. Spider takes his assistant to her boyfriends download. Which basically means his body burns up and his soul is downloaded into the world of the internet or computer. Then we have a hit out on Spider! That's right. Someone didn't like what he wrote about them. Not only that but you have the dog police force after him. One individual dog is really pissed with Spider for having his balls cut off. Yep. You read that right.
Art: Love it. Everything is so unique here. The designs of the characters, the ugly yet somehow beautiful city, oh and the facial emotions are funny as hell. This is one of the most unique looking comics in the best way.
Enjoyment: Tons of great world building, getting to know Spider a bit more, and plenty of hilarious moments. I really loved the pacing here too. Splitting this book into giving us amazing world building and well made dialogue, this book is nearly flawless in the way it works. Politics, satire, funny as hell characters, this book has it all.
What didn't work: Everything worked TBH.
Overall, fantastic. This is shaping up to be one of my favorite series of all time.

I adored the first book, adored the first half of this book, and then the rest of it, I honestly don't know what to think about. Which is strange for me, because usually the uber-gritty crass sense of humour and plot is totally up my alley but I think what did it were all the rape references in the second half, and the talk about fucking a headless child-like robot in the stump of it's neck, and the part with the girl who basically got tricked by Spider into a shitty life as a porn-star by way of drugs that he made himself immune to prior to bringing her there.
I'm totally conflicted on this one. I'll probably keep reading them to see where it goes. I love the rest of it so far, but the second half of this book left me feeling really off.

Preferred to the first vol, interesting variety of stories and sci-fi ideas
This is getting very promising at volume 2. I have a sneaking suspicion it might be heading to the top of the pile of favourite comics. Is starting to read like the love-child of Dredd and Preacher. The crazed future city of Dredd and the potty-mouthed hatred of Preacher. There are moments that are a little eye-rolly as it tries too hard to be outrageous but on the whole it's delightfully mad, furious and inventive.
Two volumes in and I'm in love with this series. Smart, witty and maybe a little evil. It makes me laugh, its scifi of a few hours from now and the art is great. I'm in for the long run.
Volumen dedicado a terminar de presentar el personaje a través de varios de sus artículos y vivencias, sin relación entre sí. Es en algunos de estos artículos donde vemos lo mejor de Ellis, con historias que conmueven y hacen pensar; precisamente aquellas donde Spider ejerce de espectador pasivo dejando de lado su faceta más histriónica, como las dedicadas a los "descargados", los criogenizados o las reservas.
Definitely a very interesting series. This volume fills us in a little bit more Spider's past and some of it is soooo not good. He's a hard guy to like sometimes but I think that so far Ellis is doing a pretty good job of walking the line between edgy asshole and guy who is trying to do the 'right' thing [at least as he sees it]. I think mostly he just has problems visualizing future consequences for anyone who is not himself [and sometimes even for himself].
Favorite panel:
I mean on the one hand poor Spider but on the other hand some dudes just cannot take no for an answer and you never know which is which so like ... #relatable

The reservations narrative is hilariously brutal. I'm biased from living around the Amish.
