I read the first 3 volumes of Transmetropolitan this weekend. It was gross and cyber-punky and violent and sexy and ugly and sex and futuristic and amazing. I seriously love it. It's definitely not everyone's cup o' tea, but it sure is mine.

Here's some pages I randomly found so you can get a feel:

I also stayed committed and started reading American Gods (which is why I only brought the first 3 volumes of Transmetropolitan with me). I'm ~120 pages in so far so stuff has happened... but not too much...or it hasn't come together yet. It reminds me of a surreal dream or a Lynch movie with a bit of The Dark Tower thrown in.

So far, I'm glad they have these random stories that aren't part of the main story with Shadow because I probably would have fallen asleep a few times if they didn't. The story about the vagina lady who eats the guy she's fucking after he worships her was intense...but I had been reading Transmetropolitan so I was already in that mindset. I had to double check which book I was reading for a second though. Violent, gross, sexy, intriguing. Totally my style.
