Transmetropolitan: Back On the Street

Rating:
Summary: A great start to an amazing series
Review: TRANSMETROPOLITAN is consistently one of the best monthly comics out there. BACK ON THE STREET is where this magnificent journey begins. Warren Ellis is one of the most unique and innovative writers of comics, and TRANSMET is shaping up to be his best work yet. Add to that the tremendous artisitic talent of Darick Robertson, and you get a classic. This initial volume was a little uneven, but still better than most of what's out there. Current issues are without compare.

Rating:
Summary: Insanely brilliant
Review: Transmetropolitan is vicious, violent, profane, dangerous, borderline psychotic and just plain fun. It's also science fiction as social commentary at its very best. *Everyone* should read this.

Rating:
Summary: Transmet is a frightening look into our future.
Review: What an amazing glance into the future society is creating for itself. Transmetropolitan delivers a brutal, scary and amazingly well crafted story accompanied by fabulous art. Warren Ellis' gritty style of writing shines in this book about a journalist (Spider Jerusalem) who is forced out of hiding in the mountains to come down to his former home - a wretched city full of drug addicted household appliances, mutated house pets and people who turn themselves into aliens.

Rating:
Summary: all too good
Review: What can I say? Warren Ellis has found his calling in the beginning of a great, and I guess epic, story. Words of wit and hate roll from the tongue of the journalist Spider Jeuraselem. His dislike of the city is presented in this amazing package of 3 issues that had a home in DC's own imprint Vertigo.
