If you spend your time hanging in front of Hot Topic in your Che' t-shirt complaining about how "the man" is oppressing you or are going though a faze where you think Hunter Thompson is the coolest man that ever lived than you will enjoy Transmetropolitan. If you are over 16 or aren't a teenager perpetually mad at your mom and dad then you might want to try something else written by Ellis like Planetary... more

Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Year of the [censored for Amazon consumption] (Vertigo, 1999)
As a non-review note, it's really kind of ludicrous--the kind of thing Spider Jerusalem would be amused by, no doubt--that this review got redlined for me putting the title of the book in the header. Do something about the sillier aspects of your filters, Amazon, plzkthx.
In its... more

| 4. Transmetropolitan Vol. 4: The New Scum |
|
By: Warren Ellis
Publisher: Vertigo
November 03, 2009
This is an amazing series. It continuously gets better and better as you go along. At this point in the saga of Spider Jerusalem and his filthies I knew I was reading a work like no other, and that I was going to love it forever. This particular volume also includes a little bonus at the end, with the winter/Christmas shorts that were released in a separate compilation from Vertigo. If you're new to... more

|
By: Warren Ellis
Publisher: DC Comics
December 08, 2009
Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Lonely City (Vertigo, 2001)
Lonely City starts out with much the same problem The New Scum had, in that Ellis has sacrificed a good deal of the series' humor in order to amp up the social commentary. That said, he makes up for it in spades in the latter half of the book, which gets us back into the plot, and the convulsive humor germane to the series. I'm... more

| 6. Transmetropolitan Vol. 10: One More Time |
|
By: Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson
Publisher: Vertigo
June 01, 2004
It's not often that a long-running series can come to a satisfying end without feeling forced. One More Time does just that. Justice is brought down on deserving heads without feeling trite. Good work, Mr. Ellis... more

December 01, 2003
Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: One More Time (Vertigo, 2004)
There are times when One More Time just feels like it's tying up loose ends. There are times when One More Time is far less subtle than any of the volumes of Transmetropolitan that preceded it. And you know what? Neither of those things mattered to me, and that is about the highest praise I can give this final volume of Warren... more

Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human Waste (Vertigo, 2004)
Sort of a "greatest hits" compilation of "I Hate It Here" textual bits from the series illustrated by a wide variety of comic artists. Amusing, and a nice way to look back on the series, but doesn't really add a great deal. For established fans only. ***... more

Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Spider's Thrash (Vertigo, 2002)
Spider's expose on those who helped Smiler's presidential bid was a smash hit once it finally got published, of course, but it's having repercussions. His informants are finding themselves on the wrong ends of guns, and it looks like they're coming after Spider next. Needless to say, Spider wants to go on living, writing... more

Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Dirge (Vertigo, 2003)
Things are looking bad for Spider. He's been forced underground, he may have a terminal disease, and worst of all, he's got a deadline. Everything from the past few volumes has centered on Spider's expose of Alan Schacht, the Smiler's campaign manager. The administration hasn't been overly thrilled with the results, to the point of... more
