Devann's Reviews > Transmetropolitan, Vol. 7: Spider's Thrash

actual rating: 3.5

On the one hand this volume is ...well maybe not necessarily an 'enjoyable' read all the time because it deals with a lot of serious and depressing subject matter, but it does at least keep my attention fairly well. Unfortunately not a lot actually HAPPENS here and we seem to just be kind of aimlessly drifting around while Ellis repeats a bunch of shit we already know. This series has always been a pretty transparent power fantasy, but at this point it seems downright masturbatory. I'm sure the ending will be really great but it's taking way too long to get there and I'm starting to think this series is about twice as long as it really needed to be.
