DC's new editions of Transmetrolitan
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 Spider's interview with the Transients' leader gets him a scoop he didn't bargain for. And don't miss Spider's first confrontation with the President of the United States . . . in a men's room.
Topher says:
"Transmetropolitan’s main character is based off of Hunter S. Thompson, except he’s the distant future, fighting the government with a weapon known as a 'bowel disruptor'. If you haven’t been convinced yet, (which, I mean, c’mon…) take my word for it that this is one of the most entertaining graphic novel series that I have ever read. The writing is brash and crass, but is also surprisingly poignant. The artwork is dynamic, easy to follow, and never boring. A truly great read for both hardcore comics fans and newcomers to the medium."

"At times cheerfully lighthearted, at times hauntingly dark, Bone is a thrilling read for both young and adult readers. The story immediately draws you in with a fun story about three plucky heroes, and keeps you invested with an intricate story involving well-developed characters and a thoroughly detailed universe.
