Issue Description

In the first of three self-contained stories exploring different subcultures in the City, an acquaintance of Spider Jerusalem's opts to have his consciousness downloaded, so Spider watches him and discovers the bizarre, insular community of posthuman "foglets."

Spider tries to help his assistant Channon come to terms with her boyfriend's decision to transfer his consciousness into a sentient nanite cloud.

Volume Description

Transmetropolitan, Warren Ellis' and Darick Robertson's grand pastiche, follows Spider Jerusalem, neo-gonzo journalist extraordinaire, through the backyards and the rooftops of the future. Ellis's wit is bang on the job, surely at its prime, in all its spitfire, vulgar glory. And the nosedive the series takes somewhere in the middle comes with scary accuracy, becoming a soap box commentary on our generation. Touching everything from anthropomorphism to religion to politics with a cheery sense of dread and disgust in its 60 issue run, and featuring one of the scariest governments post-1984, this is one of Vertigo's imprint-defining titles.
