>>25566379Exactly, this special doesn't stand for itself since you have to read the series after you read them, or read them after you're already familiar with Spider and the city he lives in.
And the setting is a post-cyberpunk world, so it's full of weird shit, but also, try to think what people from 200 years ago would think of today's clothes, haircuts, electronics... And we don't even know what year Transmet is supposed to be taking place in, I read somewhere it is the 25th Century, but whatever, all the reader needs to know is that it's the future.
