Shot in the Face: A Savage Journey to the Heart of Transmetropolitan by Chad Nevett, Kevin Colden, Kevin Thurman, Greg Burgas, Johanna Draper Carlson, Julian Darius, Warren Ellis, Ryan K. Lindsay, Chris Murphy, Patrick Meaney, Sean Witzke, Darick Robertson, Jason Michelitch, Sara K. Ellis
3.0
A series of essays with sometimes interesting insights into one of my favourite reads.
Suffers from repetition, with multiple writers brushing up against the same topics. Certain quotes and ideas turn up in every chapter, especially if you want to hear how "Fear and Loathing on the campaign Trail'72" influences the writing and The Smiler is actually Tony Blair.
Regardless of this minor annoyance, a few essays tickled my fancy enough:
Chris Murphy - Think for Yourself and Question Authority
Greg Burgas - Supporting Players: Women in Transmet
Sara K Ellis - Manifest Trashscape
Nothing is too complex. As long as you've read Transmet and like a good "hot take" now and again you'll find this an interesting, short, read.
