can't get enough Ellis. Smart, relevant, the way a sci-fi Hunter S Thompson homage ought to be.
Rated by buyers -
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.

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.

The story is really getting interesting at this point. Spider's been well introduced in the previous two books, and now Ellis starts to introduce some real complexities.
Spider makes what seems to be a definite decision that he's going back into the mountains after it's all over.
He gets an assistant that appears to be a long term one.
His editor reveals that Spider needs to be hated to work.
And, he starts covering the election, which seems like it's going to be big in the upcoming books.
I love Spider's different facial expressions. And, the writing is excellent. I'm going to read all of Transmetropolitan.
