Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's masterwork of gonzo science fiction and political soothsaying is finally available in a majestic Absolute Edition--just as the god algorithms intended! 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 autophagous corpse of print journalism and the hyperactive totalitarianism of online media. Set in a terrifyingly plausible future defined by ever-accelerating technology, Transmetropolitan clamps open readers' eyelids and overwrites their neural subroutines with 16K-resolution truth! This third and final volume collects issues #40-60 of the original series and features a new introduction from Ellis, as well as a host of redacted extras from recently decrypted files.

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."
