Loading ...The Story Of Mary : Transmetropolitan
Big_Adam
I’ve just acquired Transmetropolitan.
It’s a comic book by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson. It’s set slightly in the future in a very cyberpunk way and follows the tales of Spider Jerusalem.
I’ve not got much to say about it, bar it’s damn good but I’m up to chapter seven I think. Which is the story of Mary.
Mary, a woman whos head was frozen then bought back in the Transmetropolitan future of people spliced with aliens, robot and two headed cats. Well, two faces cats (really, two faces. Three eyes as well).
The story of Mary is rather harsh. She died and wanted to be bought back with her husband, who died un able to reach a cryo lab.
She’s bought back, in a basement, cold, wet and alone. A grubby staff member walks up and bluntly answer all her question then leads her out. Out side into a world she’s does not know where upon she goes into shock and passes out.
Waking up later in a cryo hostile she is given second hand cloths and a bed. That’s it.
It brings about an interesting point. At 1st the whole un-freezeing thing is going to be amazing but later on it’s going to be “just a job”. Taking a dead/frozen mind and sticking it in a new body. Hell most of it will automated with some chap there just to push a few buttons and make sure people don’t come out with three arses or something.
Just imagine it. I mean properly, not in a walk out the freezer sort of way. You last memory is of your death bed then BOOM! You’re alive in a new body that too tight, wet and in somewhere you’ve never been before. I think I’d freak the feck out and pass out. No one’s really going to care your there, you’re just another job who’s cash was spent years ago.
I just thought it was interesting is all. I got a massive head ache so that don’t help.

I’m glad that you are enjoying the book. Just promise me one thing please… never… and I mean never write a book of your own. Based on the drivel that you are passing off as legible text your effort would for all intents and purpose be the worst written tome in the history of mankind. Tip: After you have written something, read it back to yourself. If it doesn’t make sense, is littered with spelling mistakes or has grammatical holes bige enough to swallow the death star you have a duty to correct your idiocy. In your case, I’d suggest an adult litteracy couse at the local community college.
Hooray, a fan of my writing.
Bad habit I’m afraid. My spelling isn’t brilliant, nor is many other aspect of my own English but I try.
That and sleepiness + sugar + headache does not make way for much in the way of legible.
If it’s a long semi-important post then I tend to write in word.
Then again why am I writing this, not like you are coming back to me blog, is it?
