5.0 out of 5 stars Gonzo Journalism Redux, Dec 26 2002
By 
Duncan Stroup "DCallan92" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transmetropolitan VOL 06: Gouge Away (Paperback)
Spider Jerusalem is Hunter Thompson channeled for a new generation. This series is such fun to read because even though it is set in the future it clearly comments on the state of our world today. Ellis is a new kind of Gonzo Journalist and Spider is his voice.

Ellis comments on everything from politics to love to war to constant [chemical] use and drinking. All of the Transmetropolitan books are like a visual reinterpretation of Hunter Thompson's work and bring its crash through the door of [weak], comfortable people who just thought Hunter was a character played by Johnny Depp. Anyone whoever read and enjoyed Thompson's work should shovel all of the Transmet novels into their heads immediately and love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A new sense of focus, Mar 4 2002
By 
Christine Hoff Kraemer (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transmetropolitan VOL 06: Gouge Away (Paperback)
This TPB is a little bit lighter than the extremely dark volumes that came before it -- Spider shakes off his depression and resumes the fight against the exploitative powers that be with new vigor. The absurd (rather than purely black) humor of the early volumes returns, particularly in the hilarious first issue of this volume, in which Spider's life is parodied in a variety of genres... Ellis' comic writing is at its peak here.

As always, however, the comedy and vulgarity are tempered by a genuinely disturbing dystopian vision of a modern Western democracy gone subtly totalitarian. Among the comics being written today, _Transmetropolitan_ is nearly unique in its skillful satirical handling of serious issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars The plot thickens....., Feb 20 2002
By 
Ethan White (Fitchburg, MA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transmetropolitan VOL 06: Gouge Away (Paperback)
Thats the best way to describe this trade paperback. In this story arc, Spider grapples with the fact that his overexposure has made him a cartoon of sorts. He decides it's time to step up with war with The Smiler, a.k.a. President Gary Callahan. I cant reveal much more, except that it's a pivotal point in the overall Transmet story. If you read the series, you must pick this up. If you don't, START, then get this one. If you cant read learn. Yes I am ranting, but it's that damn good.
