In this second volume of Transmetropolitan, which now has been reconfigured to collect issues #7 to 12, renegade journalist Spider Jerusalem targets three of society's most worshipped and warped pillars: politics, religion, and television.
When Spider tries to shed light on the atrocities of these institutions, he finds himself fleeing a group of hit men/kidnappers in possession of his ex-wife's frozen head, a distorted creature alleging to be his son (its very freaky but Spider has done so many drugs the paper’s staff believe it could well be his offspring), and a vicious talking police dog. One of the best series of the last couple of decades.
