Not Your Average Comic

Wow, just finished reading Transmetropolitan, and I definetly have never read a comic like that before. Though unexpected, it was very interesting and thought provoking. I suppose I'm supposed to ask though provoking questions now (as if the comic itself was not thought provoking enough.) But, I will give it a try.

1) One line that stuck out to me more than any other: "..There's one hole in every revolution, large or small, and it's one word long....people. No matter big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution...." How accurate is this statement in your opinion. Is it really people that kill revolutions? Or is a dead revolution more a result of its faulty ideals than of the people who act them out?

2) The author makes Fred Christ, the "leader" of the revolution, out to be an extremely ugly, disgusting character. Christ seems to use his newfound "power" for his own pleasures, such as "uninterrupted sex every six hours." Is there a reason the author makes the "revolutionary" someone with his own personal vendetta? Or is Christ just an end result of the crude society in which he lives?
