Any Transmetropolitan readers? I've had a couple recs for it, but don't know where to start
At the beginning. It's a self-contained story, rather than an ongoing series, and all but the last few are collected in TPB.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Actually, I think the last issues may be out now, too.
And Transmet is my favorite comic ever.

Ooh, excellent -- last I heard was that the last tpb was due in March or so and got delayed. Big, big surprise...

Well, don't take it as Gospel, then. I've got everything in single issue, so I've not paid close attention to the TPBs.

Yeah, Amazon says June 1. Now that I think about it, if it were out, I'm sure I'd have heard it from the BF within about 5 minutes...

move out and draw fire

Is this available on Amazon? Otherwise I'll hit the comic store this week for the tpbs...since you guys give it high recs I will definitely check it out. I was kind of "eh" on Planetary, but "Victor's Favorite Comic Ever" goes a long way.

Start at the beginning, and let it take over your whole friggin' life. Worked for me. I went pretty Transmetropolitinsane in the Angel thread a week or three back, and haven't recovered yet.

Yep, it should all be there in TPB.

Not got a lot to say...
And Transmet is my favorite comic ever.
And also wins the "Most in-jokes in the House O'Reason" Award. Reason being is that the lead character, Spider Jerusalem, looks pretty much exactly like me minus 30 pounds. The likeness is sufficient that on one occasion I sat waiting to see if Jilli stopped at the same page as I did when she was reading a newly arrived TP. Sure enough she did, due to guffaws of laughter. The reason was not simply the likeness but a carbon copy of a particular pissy look I get sometimes.
I met Warren Ellis (the writer) a few times in the early 90's and I have to keep wondering if Jilli's not the only one that's been transposed into comic form.

Maybe you should worry about when and how many times you met the artist?
