From Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson
Nominated by Max Gartman

Spider is a journalist. [Note: Strong language, possibly NSFW, at that link.] He is the Warrior of Truth. Nothing will stand in his way: not enemies, friends, loved ones, not his own life. He rushes into war zones and police riots and historical reservations to tell the truth and tell it slant. He will not accept being lied to.

 

When I first read Transmetropolitan, my mind was blown away. I finally knew what I wanted for my future. I wanted to be standing next to Spider at the top of the mountain, telling the truth of all, no matter how much it hurt. He battled through riot and deception and martial law to teach anyone who would listen that all evil needs for success is the indifference of good men. I wear this upon my heart and say it to everyone who will listen. Spider knows.
