5.0 out of 5 stars
A fitting epilogue to Transmet
The above reviewer obviously isn't familiar with the contents of 'Tales of Human Waste' and thus has no right to call himself a fan of the series. This book, aka Transmetropolitan Book 0, is actually a compilation of two other 'trades': 'I Hate It Here' and 'Filth of the City.' Avid Transmet readers will recognize 'I Hate It Here' as the name of Spider...

For completists only.
Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human Waste (Vertigo, 2004) Sort of a "greatest hits" compilation of "I Hate It Here" textual bits from the series illustrated by a wide variety of comic artists. Amusing, and a nice way to look back on the series, but doesn't really add a great deal. For established fans only. ***

This review is from: Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human Waste (Paperback)
The above reviewer obviously isn't familiar with the contents of 'Tales of Human Waste' and thus has no right to call himself a fan of the series.This book, aka Transmetropolitan Book 0, is actually a compilation of two other 'trades': 'I Hate It Here' and 'Filth of the City.' Avid Transmet readers will recognize 'I Hate It Here' as the name of Spider Jerusalem's ficticious column and book. Both IHIH and FotC feature excerpts of Spider's columns with full-page art from various prominent artists, and both books do a lot to give new insight into the world of The City as well as Spider Jerusalem's personal history, including the origin of his tattoos. With the same great writing from Warren Ellis that we've come to expect as well as a plethora of great art pieces, Tales of Human Waste is the icing on the cake, and shouldn't be missing from any fan's bookshelf.

Perfect compilation for the fans,

In getting into the Transmetropolitan series, I made a bit of a mistake: I bought volume zero, read through it, didn't really get what I was reading, and almost never bought volume one.I'm glad I went ahead with the series, because it really is quite excellent. You will get almost nothing out of this book unless you've read the first few volumes of Transmet. but once I did I went back and re-read volume zero and really got a lot of enjoyment out of it. The artwork is fantastic and is a really good addition for fans of Spider Jerusalem and the series.

Not bad, but not too much to it.,

This review is from: Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human Waste (Paperback)
This provides a nice selection of back story material for Spider, but it reprints the "Christmas" story arc from Vol 3, and in general doesn't do more than titillate. Still, worth buying for the serious fan.
