In a future where consumerism, superficiality and corruption reign supreme, outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem has decided to stop sitting by idly and watching the world crumble around him. Back in the saddle, no one in The City is safe.

After years of self-imposed exile from a civilization rife with degradation and indecency, cynical journalist Spider Jerusalem is forced to return to a job that he hates and a city that he loathes. Working as an investigative reporter for the newspaper The Word, Spider attacks the injustices of his surreal 21st century surroundings.

Combining black humor, life-threatening situations and moral ambiguity, Warren Ellis' legendary series is the first look into the mind of an outlaw journalist and the world he seeks to destroy. This new trade paperback recut series features behind-the-scenes material, variant covers and scripts from the graphic novel series run.

Our favourite quote from Transmetropolitan

There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long— PEOPLE. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
