Every time I go back to re-read Transmetropolitan I get a little more sad that we have not fixed any of the issues it highlighted back in 1997.
and not only that, but the finale:
Where the smiler's true nature is laid bare for all to see publicly has been tested and simply does not work in practice.It was a wonderful comic … fucking shame that Ellis is a piece of shit
I didn't know that about him. That fucking sucks
It does
TIL. Guess I'll never finish my Transmet collection.
On reflection, a lot of that does show up in the relationships Spider has with his assistants across the series.
That really sucks. Upsetting that he’s such a garbage person.
