I actually really did enjoy them for what they were and what purpose they served. I liked learning more about the world that this series takes place in, and the limits and limitlessness that society lives with. But then he is approached by Vita Severn, the campaign manager of the candidate who is going to rival The Beast. This man is known as The Smiler, as he perpetually smiles and tries to show off a chipper demeanor to counteract The Beast. As much as maybe in this moment Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard Volume 3 needed someone to rail against The Beast in any way, shape, and form, it was very nice to see that Spider Jerusalem stayed true to form and showed a blatant mistrust for any and all politicians, even ones that could possibly take down the monster in charge. But along with that, we get to see that sometimes in an imperfect situation, there are symbols of hope. I had completely forgotten about Vita. I know why I did no spoilersbut this time around she left such a positive impression on me she has skyrocketed up to my top five favorite characters in this series. I love that Ellis writes women so well and in such varied ways. You have Channon, a volatile and snarky, but ultimately supportive and Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard Volume 3, ex stripper who will protect Spider at all costs. As far as the plot progression goes, as I mentioned before, we get back on track with the main plot in this collection. Spider gets fully pulled into covering the Election, pressured to speak out in favor of the Smiler in spite of the fact that he finds the Smiler pretty corrupt in his own ways. I liked the issues that this raises, bringing up the questions of supporting someone who is flawed and bad in different ways in the name of dethroning and taking down someone who is the evil you already know. I can see arguments for both sides, and I think that Ellis does a good job of showing why both Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard Volume 3 have their pros and cons. Along with this, we get to see how flawed Spider himself is. Spider is certainly Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard Volume 3 in part on Hunter S. Plus, the ending of this collection…… It just gutted me. I had forgotten about it, and I gasped out loud when the big climax happened, because damn was it unexpected, and DAMN did it hurt. Thanks, Spider. Thanks a lot. It was great seeing Yelena finally show up, and Spider continues to be both the best and the worst. You are commenting using your WordPress.

I was wrong. So very wrong! I feel like Warren Ellis is talking directly to his readers here! It's the election year! Don't forget to vote! This volume features a single spectacular story arc and it's all about politics this time. Spider hates the current president. Well, he hates everyone and everything, but he truly dislikes Mr. And the opposition is a new guy. Spi After the first two bizarre volumes, I didn't expect the story to get crazier. Spider decides to enter the political landscape once again as a journalist! Oh, he also got a new assistant. Kind of like Channon: Emo Edition. The story started slowly with a dose of Spider's deep and inhumane drug addiction and craziness. But after a couple of chapters, the story picked up the speed and started delivering edge of the seat thrills, albeit a bit over the top Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard Volume 3 times. This is actually a recurring criticism, I guess What I love most about Transmetropolitan is its reflection of our own screwed up society. Warren Ellis has captured the insane political campaigns, the unnatural smiles of politicians and the celebrity status of outrageous personalities and the effect of these games on public's imagination and sanity.
