Mc X hosts a talk show (as seen with his banter with Vita), is a conservative talking head, and shares his facial characteristics with Liddy.

Did anyone notice how the art would fluctuate on certain pages and seem to drop significantly in quality? Some pages look like they're done by a completely different artist. It's especially noticeable in one late scene where Spider and the filthy assistants are riding in a limousine, so it's the same angle and characters across two pages, and the art is very different on each page.
Anyone know why this is or what's going on? I wanted to mention it as an Art Shift.

Yeah, sometimes. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not (I do remember Ellis saying they were crunched for time later on), since they do have the Art Shift with Spider getting his television and watching shitty shows based on his experiences.
The Spider-watches-television does explicitly indicate that the art shift is deliberate by crediting all the different artists, if I recall correctly.

You know that thing where Spider beats the crap out of Schact whilst giving Callahan the stink eye? I think what's happening is Spider says to Schact "The things you've done for this man makes you unworthy to even hate; I will kill you if I can get away with it and I don't even care about you; I will kill you just to hurt him." Feels like there should be a trope for that, but I can't think of one. Unless he's saying something to Callahan, but I have no idea what that would be.
Not that I know of, it mostly focuses on more "conventional" politics.
Transmetropolitan wouldn't be a cyberpunk comic if it didn't have any Megacorps running things.

They're sort of in the background. They're responsible for stuff like the total, constant advertisement sensory overload, but they don't play a major role in the plot.

Don't you think the series warrants its own characters page?

You say that as if there's something preventing you from creating one.

I don't think this is an example of We All Live in America. The fact that the Smiler's press-suppression mechanism has the same name as the pre-existing British version might be some kind of shout-out, but it is explicitly presented as a thing the US didn't have before the Smiler brought it in, which shows I think that the writer wasn't just carelessly importing his own cultural background.
Do We Have This One: This
◊ is Mitchell Royce. This
◊ is Warren Ellis.
Royce's job is to take Spider's work and deliver it to the people. Ellis spent five years taking the unchained id which is Spider and winding it into a coherent narrative. I want to say Author Avatar, but, YMMV.
Is there any word from Hunter S. Thompson - or any of his friends - on how closely Spider resembles him?

Well, it's going to be a bit tricky to ask him now...

What do you think about starting character tropes page? The series are large, characters are plenty and well developed.

Other than a mustache, I'm not seeing any similarities. Liddy is a lawyer, talk show host and infamous political hatchet-man. McX is a news reporter who helps lead the charge against government corruption.
