Transmetropolitan Wrap Up - An Interview with Darick Robertson
<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In the series finale of The Word From Tomorrow, Case and Keith close out their <strong>Transmetropolitan</strong> read-through with a very special guest: <strong>Darick Robertson</strong>, co-creator and artist of <strong>Transmetropolitan</strong>. The conversation covers the origins of the book, working with Warren Ellis, designing Spider Jerusalem, building the City, balancing satire with sincerity, and how a comic from 1997 somehow keeps feeling less like fiction every year.</p> <p class="">Support us on Patreon! https://patreon.com/CertainPOVMedia</p> <p class="">Edited by Seth Decker</p> <p class="">Scored by Bret Eagleston</p> <p class="">Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

Transmetropolitan Vol. 9: The Cure - with Duke
<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Spider Jerusalem is out of time—but he's not out of fight.</p> <p class="">This week, Case and Keith are joined by <strong>Duke</strong> to discuss <strong>Transmetropolitan Vol. 9: The Cure</strong>, as Spider begins rebuilding his case against the Smiler after losing everything. Along the way, we revisit the sins of Fred Christ, celebrate Royce's unforgettable turn as the Two-Fisted Editor, and follow a former transient whose testimony could finally bring down the President.</p> <p class="">We talk about corruption, journalism, cults, accountability, and why this volume feels uncomfortably relevant more than twenty years after it was published. Plus: Spider jumps on cars, Royce puts everything on the expense account, and Robert McX asks the question we've all been waiting nine volumes to hear.</p> <p class="">The endgame has begun, and for the first time in a long time, the Smiler isn't smiling.</p> <p class="">Support us on Patreon! https://patreon.com/CertainPOVMedia</p> <p class="">Edited by Seth Decker</p> <p class="">Scored by Bret Eagleston</p> <p class="">Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!
