Tranceptor is a graphic novel about a beautiful domme in a post cataclysmic world. Our beautiful heroine is attacked late one night by a mystery assailant, so she sets off into the industrial wastelands, chauffered by her pony girls, to search for answers. Along the way, she meets a very lucky stable boy name Hyu and her treacherous sister Tranceptor, Ravanna.

A little short on plot, it has all the Manning signature elements of high quality illustration and incredibly inventive settings. The scenes and the characters are original and beautifully rendered. This book has something to appeal (or offend) almost everyone - elaborate costumes, ponies, bestiality, female bisexuality and good old hardcore sex. Interesting and inventive - I can't wait to see the next book in the series.

A great book reminiscent of early 80's Heavy Metal and Epic magazines. The artwork is extremely erotic and rooted in a love of fetishism and sci-fi. The only problem I have with this book is waiting for the next installment.

I am a huge fan of Michael Manning and his artistic style. This book is truely only for BDSM fetish lovers and those who enjoy viewing pony slaves and other fetishes. Manning uses a lot of shemale or adrogenous characters in his stories, which I love but it isn't for everyone. At times the Mannings stories tend to get bizzare and hard to follow, but the beauty of his artwork more than makes up for a slightly odd storyline. This story could use a few more fetish drawlings in it and gives me the feeling Manning is holding back a bit, but overall he is one of the best fetish artist out there.

Wow....
This book is filled with all the erotic imagery that you can expect from Manning. His Plays with Pony play and other BDSM views are amazing. This book along with Spider Garden make up the most thumbed though books in my house.

This is the standard all other "adult" comix will be judged by. The art is clean and slick and powerful, and the writing is sublime. No matter what your tastes, this is the book you will treasure.

The art in this book is pretty good, if a bit broader of stroke than I tend to like. Still, the imagery is solid, and the motions of the characters really carries itself off the page well.

The rest of it is pretty much crap. The story is basic, with very little to endear one to the any of characters. The happenings are boring enough that I was distracted by the weather outside the window. The erotic part of it can be better attained by one's own imagination. Not what I would call a worthwhile read, and certainly not for the price I paid. If you see somewhere for $3 or so, pick it up. Otherwise, hang loose and look for some stuff you can count on. Or check my dumpster.
