Issue Description

In the self-contained "Another Cold Morning," Spider Jerusalem, outlaw journalist, walks with the Revivals--people who have come out from cryogenic freeze into a world they don't understand, clinging to life in a city that has forgotten them completely.

Spider discusses the Revivals, people who have been revived from cryogenic storage after long periods of time. Almost all Revivals are unable to deal with the modern world and are generally ignored by the public. Spider makes friends with one Revival, a photojournalist from the 20th century named Mary.

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.
