A Moment of Comics After Election Day

I've been waiting to post this page. Didn't know how appropriate it would be. One more from the "Year of the Bastard" storyline in Transmetropolitan #14, written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Darick Robertson with inks by Rodney Ramos,

This will be me in front of any computer all the way up to Election Day. One of my favorite pages from the "Year of the Bastard" storyline in Transmetropolitan #14, written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Darick Robertson with inks by Rodney Ramos, who I might have not given enough credit to this month. I will go back and correct my posts later. Hope you all vote blue next week. I really do.

In the Transmetropolitan future, there are revival hostels for people who were frozen, revived in the future and brought to a catatonic state from the shock of the future world. Sometimes I wonder if this is going to happen to my generation in real time. A page from"Another Cold Morning" in Transmetropolitan #8 by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson. Rodney Ramos inks this issue.

Let's hope canvassing in battleground states is going better in real life. Another page from Transmetropolitan #21 by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson.

If we had our way, the "60 Minutes" interview with Trump would have been something like Spider Jerusalem's interview with "The Beast." From Transmetropolitan #21, part three of "The New Scum" by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson.

Though writer Warren Ellis has been at least partially cancelled, his early opus, Transmetropolitan with artist Darick Robertson, is still something I look to when I think of elections in America. The ultraconservative president Bob Heller (The Beast) seems now seems like a slighly more eloquent version of Trump. Below is a page from Transmetropolitan #15, part of the "Year of the Bastard" storyline.

How can people think the TV show "The Boys" had a MAGAmerica message? Because they never read the original comics they deviated from. I haven't seen the Prime series, but even this page about the military industrial complex would dismantle most alt-right fanboy fantasies. From The Boys #19 by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

Wanted to post this page given the wave of anti-communist ads from Trump's camp following his conviction. A Garth Ennis villain explains the depths America will sink to out of fear of communism. From the infamous and surely never-to-be-reprinted Fury by Garth Ennis with pencils by Darick Robertson and inks by Jimmy Palmiotti.

From issue #27 of The Boys, a special Saint Patrick's Day issue written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Darick Robertson. It's the final page showing a plastic bowler filled with puke. This sums up my feelings about the upcoming Saint Patrick's Day parade.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of Happy #1-2

Well, I guess I called it about Happy being made for adaptation. I just didn't think it would be the small screen. Still, this was written before streaming services caught on.  I was heavy on trying to use graphics to write my review for me. That means this review hasn't aged as well in my mind. I did end up enjoying Happy when it was completed, but I'm in no hurry to watch the show. Originally published November 5, 2012. Edited for spelling and clarity.
