In Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street, did you enjoy ...
... a relentless, goal-driven mission in a dystopian future?
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
If you loved Spider Jerusalem’s dogged pursuit of truth and justice through the chaos of The City, you’ll be hooked by Hiro Protagonist’s wild quest to decode the dangerous Snow Crash virus. Snow Crash delivers a breakneck plot where every step forward uncovers new layers of conspiracy and danger—just like Spider’s never-ending mission to expose corruption.
... antiheroes with complex, questionable ethics?
The Boys, Volume One: The Name of the Game by Garth Ennis
If Spider Jerusalem’s abrasive, morally gray crusade resonated with you, then you’ll appreciate Billy Butcher and his team in The Boys. The protagonists are just as willing to break the rules—and a few noses—to challenge corrupt power, making for a darkly compelling, ethically tangled read.
... biting satire and sharp, irreverent humor?
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Did the razor-sharp wit and sardonic humor of Spider Jerusalem’s rants make you laugh out loud? Good Omens offers a riotous, satirical take on the apocalypse, filled with clever dialogue and hilarious, offbeat characters that skewer everything from bureaucracy to human nature.
... bleak, gritty dystopian worlds with sharp social critique?
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
If you were drawn to the grimy, oppressive atmosphere and social commentary of Spider's world, V for Vendetta will pull you in with its dark vision of a totalitarian Britain. Moore’s graphic novel combines violence, paranoia, and political critique, echoing the gritty tone and rebellious spirit of Transmetropolitan.
... richly detailed urban settings with unique cultures and mysteries?
The City & The City by China Miéville
If the immersive, chaotic sprawl of Transmetropolitan’s City fascinated you, you’ll be intrigued by Miéville’s dual cities—Besźel and Ul Qoma—coexisting in the same physical space, each with its own distinct culture and rules. The city is as much a character as any person in the story, making for an unforgettable urban landscape.
