Lonely City by Warren Ellis
4.0
The next edition of Spider Jerusalem's adventures in the world where the year is not known.
I've been fairly ambivalent of these comics so far, but this one really kicked it up a notch. I'm starting to enjoy this series, especially now there's an actual overarching plot and Spider has moved on from merely screaming obscenities and his motive has started to come out. His filthy assistants, as he calls them, are also starting to grow and I like how they're starting to become different from each other (Channon appearing to be the more enthusiastic of the two, while Yelena appears to be more sedate).
I'm looking forward the the last five of the volumes now. I still don't particularly love any of the main characters, but somehow I think none of them are meant to be loved. They're meant to be enjoyed, yes, and I do believe they're meant to be relatable, but I don't think they're meant to be loved like some authors encourage. I think this is good- nobody is 100% likable, and, given the context of these comics, I think that it works well in this series.
