Transmetropolitan

I've read through the series in the ladst 3 days and just now I've finished the last volume of Transmetropolitan.
And I've gotta say.
I have never been this pleased by a comic book before.

Transmetropolitan is a master piece of comic storytelling (thank you Warren Ellis). It had scifi weirdness, a political conspiracy ( imho very close to what's going on in a nation we all know too well XD) and the most bad-ass motherfucker of a journalist ever to appear in printed media.
The ending by the way... OMFG. Sheer awesomeness if you ask me.

I also want to give credit to the artists for making at one time fun of japanese animation and manga instead of trying to imitate it, a miserable deed some of the other guys who draw the shiny little pics in our comic-book do to increase sales.

Anyway, discuss.

Must.. buy.. more... graphics novels...

>the most bad-ass motherfucker of a journalist ever to appear in printed media.

You do realize that Spider is at least partly based on Hunter S. Thompson... who may not be as cool as Spider, but is at least real.

reality is not a substitute for coolness, so Spider still wins

I love Transmetropolitan.  I started collecting the Trade Paperbacks back about a year ago, and even though I've only afforded to get two thus far, I'm VERY pleased with the story and I'm still working on saving up some money for a new Issue.

And therefore is perfect to read now, at least as a tribute to the man.

Didn't Patrick Stuart say that he'd like to play Spider in a Transmetropolitan movie? 'Cause that'd be as freaky as Marylin Manson playing Willie Wonka.

Now, don't get me wrong I love Transmet, I just figured that it's better if you know what it's based on, since it does draw from real events now and then (Kent State is the only one that comes off from my mind). As far as Patrick Stewart playing Spider? Yuck. I personally liked Depp's Duke, so would not mind seeing him again.

Actually, considering the man's acting skills.. which are  mighty.. I don't doubt his ability to protray a man who gleefully inflicts nightmares of a lustful gorilla on a person he doesn't like.
