Spider Jerusalem's journalistic crusade continues apace. Having removed one President from office, only to make an instant mortal enemy of the new incumbent, Spider continues to investigate the death of his friend, campaign director Vita Severn. With the help of his filthy assistants, Spider discovers that the truth leads right to the top - and that powerful enemies, while a mark of one's own success, can be lethally dangerous...but then again, so can a bowel disruptor - at "Fatal Intestinal Maelstrom" setting...Continuing the hilarious, moving and thought-provoking series from the hottest creator in modern comics, Warren Ellis.
Meet Spider Jerusalem, a smart-mouthed, heavily-armed, perpetually smoking reporter of the future as he reacquaints himself with Transmetropolitan's fringe elements, and goes head-to-head with The Smiler and The Beast, two very different candidates for the US Presidential Election.
"Transmetropolitan...Here is a city filled with every sin you can imagine, and a few that have been imagined for you. Here is Spider Jerusalem, the cranky, miserable bastard who will guide you through this future Babylon. Here is the finest, blackest humour, and a sense of justice hissed through gritted teeth..." -- Garth Ennis, writer of Preacher In anarchic, tradition-trashing style, we're rewinding to the beginning, before the hugely popular Transmetropolitan: The New Scum, to reveal Spider's first story after emerging from his self-imposed five year exile. Warning: Adults only!
Continuing the hilarious, moving and thought-provoking series from the hottest creator in modern comics, Warren Ellis...Spider Jerusalem is writing again. Fired by his old employers, and now the target of the President - a madman who is tearing up the consitution to get to him - Spider has found a new way to get the Truth out there; and there are still plenty of stories to tell, as this collection takes us through the children and madmen on the streets, the crumbling City, and the other political and social disasters of Ellis' near-future world. But Spider has yet another secret - the memory blackouts, erratic behaviour and ranting aren't just business as usual. Spider's time could be running out...Warning: Adults only!
The Fix is in! Famed journalist and agent provocateur Spider Jerusalem is back, up to his neck in sleaze, corruption and perversion. It can only mean one thing...politics! Embittered and only occasionally crusading, Spider Jerusalem is wallowing in a mire of pills and bitterness. The sheer vileness and depravity of his fellow human beings (and assorted non-humans), has rendered Spider's hardly sunny disposition at an all-time low wattage. Certainly, he's not bothering to cover the biggest story of the year: the presidential election, and that oversight may just spell the end of his career.. not to mention his life! Join us for another blisteringly funny slice of sci-fi satire.
