Continued from:
It's the second volume of Transmetropolitan. It's my least favorite volume, because it's so filler-y, even when there's more filler later in the series it never feels as bad as this. But there are some plot points and I said I would storytime all of it, so I just want to get through this volume as fast as possible.
Storytime: Transmetropolitan Vol. 2: Lust for Life
Juan Wilson
Nolan Diaz
Joshua Diaz
Caleb Nelson
Landon Anderson
Isaiah Cruz
I'm guessing Pupin is a reference to something.
Luke Howard
Levi Hall
Asher Moore
Shame Channon's rising journalistic career training is never really a plot point.
Justin Rivera
Luis Ross
Robert Gutierrez
Elijah Jackson
I actually like this set of issues quite a bit, as there is a bunch of world-building in it.
"Another Morning" is great, even though it is part of a plot hole later.
Kevin Evans
Zachary Russell
I suspect Warren Ellis originally planned for Spider to wear a lot of weird outfits, this, the angel thing last issue, but dropped it.
Aiden Wood
Landon Roberts
Christopher Peterson
Elijah Allen
Levi Butler
Nathan Hill
This guy's a lot more reasonable than I would have expected.
Cameron Harris
I'm always particular about these kinds of stories. Are his thoughts being pulled out of his brain and put into a digital brain, or is his brain being copied and his original person still there?
Adam Bennett
Stop being a wuss and draw penises, Darick.
Dominic Perry
Nathan Brown
Gabriel Moore
Cooper Garcia
From the way it's described, I'm guessing the latter.
Kind of a Soma situation, if you've played that game.
Ethan Cooper
Henry Evans
I did, and I was glad the game treated the memory upload as a different person, unlike a lot of things which act like it's the same person.
Daniel Gutierrez
Jason Jenkins
Camden Ward
Nolan Butler
yeah it's the same with The Prestige
Brandon Williams
He's fine with boobs too, but not penises.
That said, they are way more rare, even in Vertigo books.
Mason Parker
I mean, whether or not the original and the copy are the same person is kind of a matter of debate, since it's all a hypothetical situation that doesn't exist in real life anyways.
If a copy of a person has all the same memories, experiences, thought, emotions, etc. are they not the same person?
Dominic Ortiz
Reading bump. I dont consider any part of Transmet filler, its all essential to shaping the world of rhe city and showing you all the different sides of the casts' personalities
Jose Richardson
Joseph Sanders
Joseph Hughes
>are they not the same person?
Only until they begin to encounter different scenarios and develop as people. At the moment of creation they are the same, and the idea of being the original is purely a matter of superiority.
Ian Bell
This is a great issue.
Levi Diaz
Jacob White
Robert Rivera
Kayden Campbell
Adam Phillips
Logan Green
Julian Ward
This is one of my favorites
Isaiah Rodriguez
Logan Johnson
Aiden Adams
Alexander Nelson
Noah Gomez
Bentley Hill
Parker Harris
Henry Reyes
Is anyone reading this who hasn't read this before?
Jack Cruz
Don't kiss strange homeless women you just met Spider, it's weird.
Adam Green
Elijah Foster
yes
Carson Young
Good to know.
William Gonzalez
Why don't they just move out of the city like Spider did? I imagine it would be cheaper for the city.
Connor Davis
Jaxson James
Jason Long

agreed on both parts
Kevin Moore
Carson Ramirez
Landon Turner
Ryder Edwards
Michael Hughes
Samuel Brown
This is a good gag
Christopher Bennett
I should probably think about what I'm going to do about boobs.
Easton Collins
Samuel Gomez
Jeremiah James
Brandon Collins
Isaac Morris
Kayden King
Does Colonial Williamsburg make a profit?
Justin Rogers
Jaxon Garcia
Joshua Phillips
Levi Cook
Ryan Moore

Easton Powell
Kayden Garcia
Man, this shit fucks you up good.
Dominic Fisher
Lucas Long
Josiah Allen
Jose Ross
It's a valid question, considering the issue about Reservations comes next. If revivals are constantly future shocked, there's already a precedent for stuffing people somewhere with a predetermined level of technological development
Sebastian Flores
Jose Lopez
Shit I skipped a page. Sorry.
Mason Torres
I'll admit I've never been comfortable with the Cultural Reservations aspect of Transmetropolitan's setting, it just feels out of place, even when compared to all the other weird stuff in the setting
Henry Garcia
Back on track.
Gabriel Cooper
Who's going to pay for their reacomodation? I ain't gonna pay more taxes for those pastbums
Lincoln Gonzalez
Hunter Clark
Evan Hernandez
Nathan Reyes
Blake Powell
Chase Gomez
They have the money, it is said. Or even donate them like cattle to the reservations
Lucas Ross
