So, Spider descends upon the City again like Nietzsche's Zarathustra *, claims his old job back at The Word, and starts pounding the streets for material. So, what's so great about Transmetropolitan, right? Follow my drift: It's the story of a manic author/columnist/public intellectual named Spider Jerusalem, who is forced to leave the mountain hideout he had retired in for several years by threats from his publisher to whom he still owed two books. Transmetropolitanis a series that deserves immortality for several reasons I'm about to share with you. I think you should experience it the same way that I did in order to build suspense and keep as many copies of this gem in circulation as possible. I've spent the last ten months ordering the ten volumes of the series whenever I had a little play money to throw Amazon's way and I don't regret it. Transmetropolitanis pretty fucking great. It is considered to be a contemporary classic by critics and comic book freaks alike and is often referred to as Ellis' best work. Transmetropolitan is a cyberpunk comic book series co-created by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson that initially ran from 1997 to 2002.
