DCs new editions of TRANSMETROPOLITAN begin here, with this volume collecting issues #1-6 of the acclaimed Vertigo series from writer Warren Ellis and artist Darick Robertson! After years of selfimposed exile from a civilization rife with degradation and indecency, cynical journalist Spider Jerusalem is forced to return to a job he hates and a city he loathes. Working as an investigative reporter for the newspaper The Word, Spider attacks the injustices of his surreal 23rd century surroundings.

In this first volume, Spider ventures into the dangerous Angels 8 district, home of the Transients — humans who have decided to become aliens through cosmetic surgery. But Spiders interview with the Transients leader gets him a scoop he didnt bargain for. And dont miss Spiders first confrontation with the President of the United States . . . in a mens room.

Good things from dark packages
You should be offended by at least one thing in this book. Thats the point. It shocks you into attention since thats what it takes these days. But dont be fooled! This is not just some angry mans hate spewed onto paper, no, there are messages about life in here. Fancy that, entertaining AND enlightning. What a concept.
And it works. The art is fantastic with a great use of the pages/layout. You really get sucked into it. There is no way for me to even explain how well written this is. Its just something you have to experience for yourself. You wont be dissapointed (unless your so closeminded, but then what are you doing here anyways?)
bottom line. Essential Comic reading. No, Essential Life reading.
