Only comic book series I blew more than $200 on. WORTH IT.

Easily one of my favorite series and characters. That's saying something, considering I've only read the second volume and snippets of others.

I love Transmet. It's right up there in my personal shelf of physical comic series I actually own, along with Cerebus, Preacher, Y The Last Man and Bone.

You can get what you want and still not be very happy.

I wish there had been more of those "Spider gets serious and wanders around the city philosophizing". No, I don't care the last five volumes get that a lot - NED MOAR.

Also, the expository chapters are pretty well done, I actually wished he got more into the foglets and the time reservations.

Who would be the best-suited actor to play Spider Jerusalem in a live-action film?

It's a thing that just started bugging me. I can't think of anyone really suitable. Klaus Kinski might have the intensity required, but he's just impossible to work with, and not really suitable to express any comedic elements. Gary Oldman, in my view, doesn't have the range. Jack Nicholson never looked like him. John Malkovich is too neurotic.

...really, we need someone who can look bat-shit crazy and awesome at the same time, sporting a stringy, bald, Hollywood-comely looks, who can at the same time project utter awesomeness and a destitude lack of good taste.

Suggestions?

Patrick Stewart wanted to play Spider, but he says he's too old now. If I remember right, both he and Warren Ellis think Tim Roth would be good.

Tim Roth if live action. If animated voiced by John Di Maggio

Patrick Stuwart must play yelena's dad

Dennis Leary would be an excellent Spider Jerusalem, in live-action or animated. If just animated, I'd probably go with Steve Blum, doing Spike Siegel with a bit more energy.

I've become a fan in the past few months or so, and made it a habit of stopping off after classes on certain days to go over to Barnes & Nobles and read a volume, sometimes 2 if I had extra time. I'm most of the way through the series now, (think my last finished TBP was volume 7) and I'm hoping to finish the series sometime in the next month or two.

Great series, there really isn't enough praise for it.

Honestly, I think it could do without the vulgarity. See Gundam Sousei for a story where Kill Em All Tomino is played by Spider Jerusalem, uses no profanities, and still kicks massive amounts of ass.

Spider wouldn't be Hunter S. Thompson if he didn't cuss.

Recently finished the series, and I have to say I'm disappointed by one thing: I never really had any feeling that any opponent was going to be a match for Spider or dangerous to him. Aster the 20th time that Spider does something that should get him killed, and a big, muscular guy tries to menace him only to hit muscle guy with a bowel disruptor, a lot of drama is lost.

Not to mention all the illegal stuff he gets away with. His getting-away-with-bullshit is on Sue Sylvester levels.

He abuses the first amendment. Fox news does the same shit. Entrapment, blackmail, the whole 9 yards. Also journalist insurance lets him get alway with almost anything short of murder.
