The social justice aspects of this volume make it somewhat different from any that has come before - this is not to say that the previous volumes haven't done similar things, haven't shown Spider's kind heart, but this was different no matter how you dice it. There was anger here, an anger that comes from frustration - and it's not just Spider's, but (I think) Ellis' too. We know the showdown with the President is coming, but hopefully there remain moments like this, where Spider does good for society in more subtle ways as well.

"The truth hurts. That's old news to outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem, but what's changed is how high the stakes have become. Long a thorn in the side of the powerful and hypocritical, Jerusalem has made an enemy of the new President of the United states-- a man who happens to be crazier than a rabid rattlesnake, and twice as mean. Now, driven underground with his loyal (and filthy) assistants, deprived of all his comforts and hunted like a rabbit at the dog track, Jerusalem prepares for his greatest coup yet-- provided, of course, that he can survive past this afternoon" -- p.

I was reading these volumes for quite a while, then just couldn't find a few of the latter ones. I've completed the collection now, so I'm working my way through Spider Jerusalem's later adventures. And, as my first foray back into this world, this volume kind of slapped me around.
There were far less shenanigans in this one, and far more serious thought thrown down. We're introduced to the dirty underside of both Spider's world and, in reflection, our own. And it's ugly.
Darick Robertson's art is simply perfect, yet again.
The funny thing is, in the intervening years between the first six volumes and this one, I've come to be good friends with a real-life Spider Jerusalem. It just makes me appreciate these pages even more. ( )
