Description
Absolute Transmetropolitan Vol. 3 by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson is a masterwork of gonzo science fiction and political soothsaying, now available in a majestic Absolute Edition—just as the god algorithms intended!
This ground-breaking series remains as vital and engaging today as when it first hit the stands. The quick-dissolving red pill that is Transmetropolitan occupies the commanding heights overlooking both the decaying corpse of print journalism and the hyperactive totalitarianism of online media.
Set in a terrifyingly plausible future defined by ever-accelerating technology, Transmetropolitan forces readers to confront unsettling truths, clamping open their eyelids and overwriting their neural subroutines with 16K-resolution clarity.
This third and final volume collects issues #40-60 of the original series. It features a new introduction from Ellis, along with a host of redacted extras from recently decrypted files.

About the Author
Warren Ellis is a comics and graphic novel writer best known for the graphic novel series Transmetropolitan, Planetary, and The Authority. With over 35 graphic novels in print, Ellis has received numerous honors including the International Horror Guild Award for graphic narrative and being named one of Entertainment Weekly's 100 Most Creative People. Rolling Stone described his work as "more influenced by Jesus and Mary Chain than by the Justice League, while his characters fight for left-wing agendas over God and country, and kick puppies in the street."
