Transmetropolitan: Lust for Life, Vol. 2 FROM THE PUBLISHER
After making his presence known in Transmetropolitan: Back on the Streets, renegade columnist Spider Jerusalem targets three of society's most worshipped and warped pillars: politics, religion, and television. When Spider tries to shed light on the atrocities of these institutions, he finds himself fleeing a group of hitmen/kidnappers in possession of his ex-wife's frozen head, a distorted creature alleging to be his son, and a vicious talking police dog.
FROM THE CRITICS
Spin Magazine
Transmetropolitan [is] a comic book series that follows the smart-mouthed, heavily-armed, perpetually smoking journalist Spider Jerusalem, who lives in a future so grimy and chaotic it could be the present - except for the aliens. Outfitted in water-walking Air Jesus sneakers and snacking on caribou eyes from the local Eskimo fast-food place, Spider tries to make sense of a city where a new religion starts every hour and "buy-bombs" upload ads into people's dreams....Transmet is brilliant future-shock commentary.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
In Transmetropolitan Warren Ellis has put passion and commitment back into adult graphic SF. With righteous anger, compelling action and a tasty touch of modern cyberpunk sensibility, Transmetropolitan reminds us of what SF and the Fourth Estate should be about - and does it! — Michael Moorcock
