I hate it here... - By: Sable Unadorned, 13 Apr 2005
'My job is to keep the majority of the people in this country alive: if fifty-one per cent eat a meal tomorrow & forty-nine per cent don't, I've done my job'

The political plot thickens as the election approaches. Spider confronts both sides, winning himself death threats from whoever gains the presidency.

Ellis's writing is as smooth as ever, with beautiful sound-bites dripping off ever tongue but still ensuring that the substance is much more solid than the style.

Fantastic - if you haven't been hooked by now you'll be grabbed by this stage. If you're hooked already this is likely to be the point where you bulk-order the rest of the series.

Life sucks. Wear a hat. - By: judas_reborn@hotmail.com, 14 Aug 2001
In this collection of the transmetropolitan series, you can finallly begin to understand the true inner working of politics, viewed through the ice-cold eyes of Spider Jerusalem. Warren Ellis has yet again crafted another piece of humour, so black ... it's black. It is work like this, that made me take another shot at reading comics, & I haven't looked back .
Insanity, Pure Insanity - By: simon_cleal@hotmail.com, 11 Feb 2001
Ellis & Robinson continue to amaze me with Transmetropolitan, this book continues the presidential election campaign story arc from 'Year of the Bastard' & what twisted,... backstabbing campaign it is. With the help of his 2 assistants Spider Jersualem continues his own campaign to bring the truth to the people on the streets.

Ellis' writing is by turns poignant, thilling, inspiring & provocative, while Robinson's artwork brings a depth of reality to the characters & a wealth of detail & jokes to the backgrounds of the city.

If you already read any of the previous books then you won't even be reading this you'll already have ordered it on spec, if you havn't then start reading them NOW!
