Review of 'Transmetropolitan' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Something approaching a coherent story here, at last. Probably still not going to get deeper I to this series, though.

Published Feb. 1, 1998 by Vertigo.
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 23rd Century surroundings. Combining black humor, life-threatening situations, and moral ambiguity, this book is the first look into the mind of an outlaw journalist and the world he seeks to destroy.
Something approaching a coherent story here, at last. Probably still not going to get deeper I to this series, though.
This was an experimental loan from the library, but I think the experiment did the work out for me. I'll still give the next one a shot, though.
