Transmetropolitan, Vol. 10: One More Time by Warren Ellis
5.0
I love the way they ended this series. I will say no more, lest I give something away.
Reread the whole series over a weekend in 2015. So damn good.
It's funny. I first started reading Transmet in 2000 because my then-boyfriend was super into it. (I still consider Transmet to be one of the only good things I got out of that relationship.) But it was an incredible experiment to reread the whole series in a few days in 2015, over a decade after this last trade paperback was released. Reading the first volume just weeks after the 2000 presidential election, as a college freshman... was very different than reading it now, as a damn grownup with kids and whatnot. At the same time, it did remind me of what it was like to be that college freshman-- I'm not sure I would have picked up the book at this point in my life if I didn't already have a history with it. That combination of anger and optimism and gradually eroding naiveté, with a fun dash of look-how-well-I-curse-do-I-sound-grownup-yet?
