As I finished off the story of Spider Jerusalem, I found myself wishing that there was some real live counterpart who was just crazy enough to do an audacious takedown of a corrupt public figure as Spider does in these pages.

Then again, in the intervening years, we've also discovered that impeaching someone is, at most, a toothless and symbolic gesture and doesn't carry the weight it seems to in this graphic novel.

Regardless, Ellis and Robertson and team bring Jerusalem's story to a dramatic and very satisfying close, and I'm so glad I finally got around to finishing it. Hilarious and heartbreaking, thought-provoking and vomit-inducing...

What more could one ask for? ( )

And that's the end for Spider Jerusalem. I'll miss the series. Amazing ending. ( )

It has been one hell of a ride. ( )

Things go from worse to HaHaHaHaHaHa. ( )

This was an excellent ending to a fascinating and engaging series, one of the best science fiction stories I've read in a long time.
If I were to have any quibble at all it would be that the final confrontation felt rushed but then everything felt rushed leading up to that point as things started happening faster and faster so it may be more that then anything. I found many of the themes in the book, as I saw them, fascinating. The importance of media and journalism in holding our leaders to task, the power individuals have in making a difference...if they are willing to pay the price, and how life just keeps moving on despite it all are just a few. For such a dark and at times depressing story there is a lot of hope, love and respect here as well. We don't' have to just accept the world as it is, we can make a change and it's worth it. ( )
