james_desantis 's review for:
Transmetropolitan, Vol. 3: Year of the Bastard
by Warren Ellis
After months and months of this fucking political war going on I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy this volume of Transmetropolitan focusing on presidents getting elected. However, the ending really made it for me.
This is basically Spider just pushing his way into both the people who could be president and shitty on each one by giving us facts. Funny enough one is basically like Trump, other more like say Clinton, and them bickering back and forth is...eerily the same as what we had to go through as the people. But the biggest thing I got from this all was Spider hates everyone and everything, except woman...cause he sleeps with them all.
I will say the plot itself was entertaining and the ending is so shocking it really boosted my score up to good to great. I think the ending is the punchline this storyline needed and it worked on every level. I also can't comment enough about the awesome art, nothing really looks like this world they live in. The negatives would be Spider yammers on SO much sometimes to the point it is annoying and for him to sleep with someone like 20 years younger than him...after what came out about Warren Ellis, wasn't a good look.
But overall, good stuff, really funny at points, and sadly very realistic despite it being in the future. a 4 out of 5.
