Friday Recommendation: Transmetropolitan Nearly every comic creator, no matter how diverse their output, has a work that the comics-reading public has labeled as their defining work; maybe not their best, but the one that readers associate as the most indicative of that creator’s style. For Grant Morrison, it’s “The Invisibles,” for Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips it’s “Criminal,” and for comics sensation and internet icon Warren Ellis it’s “Transmetropolitan.” Despite the massive range of Ellis’s work, perhaps the most common image to come to mind upon hearing his name is the face of deranged journalist Spider Jerusalem — granted, that could be because his choice of eyewear is so snazzy. “Transmetropolitan” — often abbreviated to “Transmet” — tells the story of Jerusalem, a journalist who has made his return to “The City” for the first time in years in order to cover and influence the next big political elections, as well as the ramifications for doing so. With the political climate that’s in the air, now is the perfect time to read this equally politically-driven sci-fi ongoing if you have not before, or to re-read it if you are already well-acquainted with the saga of The City.
