Transmetropolitan, Vol. 10: One More Time by Warren Ellis
5.0
This is a review of the entire Transmetropolitan series:
What a wild and wonderful ride this series has been. There is a lot of commentary, social and political, throughout the series. Some I agree with, some I don't, and some seems to be edgy for the sake of being edgy.
That being said, I love Spider Jerusalem and his Filthy Assistants. There's a nearly bipolar wave to ride with Spider, and it feels reminiscent of real life. Some days I feel like I could take on the world, and others I feel like I'd rather be anyone else.
I think the second half of the series is really the heart and soul of the story, and there's much more meat on the narrative bones. And obviously, some of these situations of chaos and uncertainty take on even deeper meaning the more they mirror our own current events.
Overall, if you can jump some of the "shock value" hurdles plopped on the path, then you're in for a book with a lot of violence, comedy, twisted stories, and a voice about the world that's well worth being heard.
