Spider Jerusalem steps up his campaign of showing the world the truth about President Callahan aka the Smiler, and vindicating the death of Vita Severn. But as he builds his case by going through the list of people involved with Callahan's election, each of the witnesses is killed off. Worse still, he's about to lose his job at the Word and become a true outlaw journalist, hitting the road and dodging bullets and the President sets his sights on a bald headed drug addict and his filthy assistants.
"Gouge Away" continues the increasingly more dramatic storyline of the battle between Spider and the President with the stakes being raised more and more. I liked that Warren Ellis saw fit to get Spider out of the ivory tower that was the luxury apartment he was ensconced in and set him free in the City, it's made for a far more interesting story.
Also included is a one shot tale of the Filthy Assistants, Yellena and Channon, breaking free of Spider for a day and going wild in the City, as well as a look at the celebrity Spider's become due to his columns. Ellis enlists the help of artists like Bryan Hitch, Frank Quitely and Eduardo Risso to draw the TV movie/cartoon/porno versions of Spider following the success of "I Hate It Here".
As always the balance between serious and farcical is walked perfectly by Ellis and Darick Robertson, both of whom seem to be getting better and better with each passing book. "Gouge Away" is an excellent book and only makes the series that much more addictive and interesting to read. "Transmetropolitan" is highly recommended reading.

'The Beast, whom The Smiler ousted and who now lives in hate-filled retirement, was an authentic monster. But he was a little monster. A malleable and predictable monster: ultimately, a monster we could handle. A monster we could live through.
'That is not what you elected this time.'
The lines are drawn at last. Spider goes into battle against the Smiler's abominable presidency. Unfortunately, the Smiler feels the same way about Spider.. and, being president, has a lot more cards in his hand to play.
Electrifying - this sixth volume sets up a huge amount of anticipation for what is to follow.

Transmetropolitan is not a comic for kids, it's a graphic novel for adults, and I have been reading it since last summer when I bought Warren Ellis's first orginal Lazarus Churchyard.
Before you read Transmet, you HAVE to read Lazarus Churchyard, it is without a doubt Transmet's predecessor and is the best and most original thing I have ever read - wikid!!

Transmetropolitan is a graphic novel series charting a narcotic journalist's life in the city of the future. He writes, we read - sometimes Trans' is utterly disgusting and most of the time it is completely hilarious...
The first in the series is "Back on the Street", but is not the best! As the novels go on they get better and more engrossing...any choice won't leave you disappointed!! If your a fan of graphic novels, then I'm surprised you haven't heard of Transmet, BUY TRANSMETROPOLITAN!. If you're looking for black, crisp artwork and intelligence to kill, BUY TRANS!
...Just don't buy "Gouge Away" until you know what to expect.
Enjoy.
