Spider, Spider, Spider September 7, 2008
An awesome book that one just cannot put down. Warren Ellis does such a good job of controlling the seriousness and comic relief of this book. Just when you think Spider can't do anything crazier he does it, and it is believable too. In this volume we dig deeper into the Spider Jerusalem character and the dsytopia he lives in. Robertson's art is perfect this story. If you liked the first two volumes pick up year of the bastard and you will not be disappointed.

can't get enough Ellis. Smart, relevant, the way a sci-fi Hunter S Thompson homage ought to be.
Warren Ellis is for real! May 5, 2008
Warren Ellis has created a fictional world that in many ways resembles ours. Warren has a lot of guts. He probably is on the hit list of the KKK, The American Nazi Party, The Religious Right Wing, and The Arm White Militia e.g. The Oklahoma Federal Building Bombers and all Jingoistic Americans that believe we are a Militaristic Empire. We are the new Conquistadors/Conquerer of the world. Amazon's books were in mint condition as usual. They are still the best online store on the internet.

Spider Jerusalem's old vices surface again. Namely, politics and drugs, and he indulges in a lot of both. He writes a lot about politics, and does a lot of drugs.
He is annoying the political powers now, and this is enough to get someone he likes killed.
American Politics Meets Its Match May 24, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Here in Volume Three, Spider Jerusalem finds his life once again driven further into madness by the demands of his Editor. Spider has been back into the city for a while, and except for a short but memorable run-in with The Beast, he's failed to address a seemingly unavoidable topic of the news (by choice of course): politics.
It's an election year, and his hated enemy, The Beast, on whose depravity Spider literally wrote the book (the same book which made his career, and drove him out of civilization entirely), is seeking reelection. The Opposition party is in town, and Spider is being dragged kicking and screaming into discussing their imminent convention. Unfortunately for Spider, the front-runner in that race is a neo-fascistic nutjob, and his adversary is a man who only seems to do one thing: smile dementedly.
Can Spider save the American Electorate? Can he pry himself away from the needles, pipes, and pills long enough to find The Truth?
Read Transmetropolitan Volume Three to find out.
