Not me, Spider. But sometimes, I so much feel on the same side of the barrier.
Thanks to Matthias, I got one of the absolutely-coolest-comic-ever – Transmetropolitan.
It is a simple story, about good and bad, and the truth. No, not the truth, Her Majesty The Truth.
Spider Jerusalem is a journalist, a brilliant, smart, cynical as hell filthy creature, which I loved from the very beginning. He cares about the truth. No matter how much it is going to hurt, when it is spoken. And for the goddamn truth, he is going to lie, cheat, blackmail, bribe in whatever order you put it. Oh, and he is a openly misanthrope, a convinced one.
Most of the technologies and the society specifics seems to me not that far away in the future, it is scary when you think about it. It is also scary how thin the margin is between the fictional characters and places, the possible direction of the events and the real ones.
Transmetropolitan is available at the better bookstore of course, and wherever else you find it.
Thanks, Matze!
