Hickman and Dragotta reunited soon after their phenomenal Fantastic Four run to give us this Sci-Fi Western set in a alternate reality fractured dystopian United States where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the world’s only hope. It’s honestly just such a cool world to dive into and learn about.
Would recommend to sci-fi fans, comic fans, and those that just love world building.
A few of the major powers in the world:
The Union
The Endless Nation
The Kingdom
The People's Republic of America

Transmetropolitan remains my favourite by far. It’s just so…chewy. It reminds me of 2000AD Dredd - panels overflowing with incidental details that show the city is alive. Spider is unrelenting and unrepresented.
