Absolute Transmetropolitan #2

This oversized DC Black Label collector's edition gathers Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's razor-sharp cyberpunk journalism saga in a format worthy of its ambition. Robertson's cover captures Spider Jerusalem striding shirtless and fearless through a densely layered future city — mismatched tinted glasses, cigarette in hand, a satchel over one shoulder — while a hulking surveillance robot looms overhead, a reptilian figure and a scruffy man sit against the wall behind him, and the chaotic neon sprawl of the City buzzes in every corner of the frame. Vol. 2 of the Absolute edition, published in 2023, is the kind of premium package that lets you fully absorb one of comics' most crackling and uncompromising visions of the future.
