Transmetropolitan, Vol. 10: One More Time by Rodney Ramos, Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson
5.0
This was an excellent ending to a fascinating and engaging series, one of the best science fiction stories I've read in a long time.
If I were to have any quibble at all it would be that the final confrontation felt rushed but then everything felt rushed leading up to that point as things started happening faster and faster so it may be more that then anything. I found many of the themes in the book, as I saw them, fascinating. The importance of media and journalism in holding our leaders to task, the power individuals have in making a difference...if they are willing to pay the price, and how life just keeps moving on despite it all are just a few. For such a dark and at times depressing story there is a lot of hope, love and respect here as well. We don't' have to just accept the world as it is, we can make a change and it's worth it.
