Transmetropolitan Vol. 4: The New Scum by Warren Ellis

3.0

The election campaign heats up and Spider's up to it in his neck. He's now discovered that both the incumbent Beast and challenger Smiler are both full of shit and there's no other choice the people can make. And both of these men - whichever will be the next President - now have it out for him, personally. This volume is the start of the 'middle bridge' of the overall story - not too much in the way of actions or revelations, but the quiet between the earlier rising action and the upcoming complication and climax.
