Follow 21st-century outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem as he returns to The City after five years of self-imposed exile. Spider's first story involves the Transients, humans who have decided to become aliens through cosmetic surgery. When the outlaw journalist finds himself caught between the Transients and the cops, he'll learn once and for all whether the pen (or the laptop) is mightier than the sword (or nightstick). Softcover, 72 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $7.95. Transmetropolitan shows Warren Ellis at his absolute best. Set in a futuristic New York City, Ellis begins with a fantastic satire of news, politics, and entertainment. Meet Spider Jerusalem. Think a SciFi Hunter S Thompson and you're 90% there. An anitsocial journalist forced out of his temporary retirement by lawyers, Spider embodies the two things we love about antiheroes, he'll fight against all the corruption and exploitation in the world, while still raging at the complacent citizens who let it go on. In this volume, he covers stories about the human-alien hybrid movement, the presidential election, television, and the new religions popping up like weeds. Ellis writes fantastic dialogue and brutal sarcasm to immerse you in these scenes. The artwork is also great, with Robertson loading the background with details and gags so that you want to read every panel twice. This looks like it's going to be one of my favorite Vertigo series.
