In case you missed it, a book examining the themes of cult comic book series ‘Transmetropolitan’ has been released, entitled “Shot in the Face: A Savage Journey to the Heart of Transmetropolitan”

Heres’s the official Amazon blurb;

“Published in 1997-2002, Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson’s Transmetropolitan became famous for its foul-mouthed protagonist, Spider Jerusalem, and his “filthy assistants.” But it’s also a long-form comics masterpiece, a sci-fi comic that succeeded despite the odds, and an examination of journalism and politics — and how they intersect, or fail to do so. This book explores all these topics and more, from multiple points of view. It also includes interviews with both Ellis and Robertson.”

Sounds like a pretty interesting read, actually.

Do we have any Transmetropolitan fans out there this might appeal to?

Shot in the Face: A Savage Journey to the Heart of Transmetropolitan available from Amazon.com here.
