In this new edition collecting issues #49-54, Spider Jerusalem turns up some startling evidence and a sole witness to President Callahan's depravity. The problem will be getting the word out before the President's massive forces black out everything – and everyone – involved.

Collecting issues #43-48 of the groundbreaking series, TRANSMETROPOLITAN: DIRGE sees all hell breaking loose as a nameless sniper terrorizes the Print District and a raging superstorm clears the streets of The City.

More of Spider Jerusalem's columns from his residency in the City newspaper The Word are featured, running from where the TRANSMETROPOLITAN: I HATE IT HERE one-shot left off and concluding with Spider's ultimate departure from the paper, accompanied by artwork from an array of the finest luminaries from both mainstream and indie comics.
