I just finished reading Transmetropolitan. It was incredibly awesome, and as I've been discussing it with random people over the past few days I've been getting several recommendations, and I think I've got some more reading lined up. I'm pretty excited about it.
It's not often anymore that I read/watch something that is bad ass not only because it's violent and dark, but also because it's intelligent and insightful. This whole series fit the bill perfectly. It paints a huge, beautifully disgusting, terribly witty, and strangely enthralling picture. It managed to be bitterly cynical and desperately hopeful at the same time. You know, the kind of thing that makes you feel disgusted, and inspired at the same time.
I also love stories about journalism, I especially like the idea of someone working the same media machine that's being used daily to brainwash us into apathy to enact awareness and change.
Anyway, if you ever get the chance to read all 60 issues, go for it. If you're not sure how to go about doing that, just ask... I can point you in the right direction. I have no regrets about all the time I spent scrolling and clicking. I'd love to eventually own legit copies of the whole thing. In fact, It's one of my next short term goals.
