As I finished off the story of Spider Jerusalem, I found myself wishing that there was some real live counterpart who was just crazy enough to do an audacious takedown of a corrupt public figure as Spider does in these pages.
Then again, in the intervening years, we've also discovered that impeaching someone is, at most, a toothless and symbolic gesture and doesn't carry the weight it seems to in this graphic novel.
Regardless, Ellis and Robertson and team bring Jerusalem's story to a dramatic and very satisfying close, and I'm so glad I finally got around to finishing it. Hilarious and heartbreaking, thought-provoking and vomit-inducing...
What more could one ask for?
