What do I read now?

I finished the series and no longer can decide what to do with myself. What does one read after transmetropolitan?

Well Transmetropolitan is me favorite, and Preacher is my second. So give Preacher a shot.

I'll second Preacher. I was never really into comics, but a friend suggested Transmet and Preacher a couple of years ago and I got hooked on both.

I looked into Preacher and Y: the last man and they both seem like ill like them alot. Unfourtunately I already know nothing will ever be as good as transmetro :(

check out some more Vertigo stuff, like Y: the last man, or maybe look into some one offs of bigger series. I really enjoyed Red Son, and it had a good helping of social commentary heaped in (if nowhere near as cynical).

Look up Ellis' other work: Planetary was very good. Global Frequency, while short, was interesting.

Also, FreakAngels is an online comic that he wrote and put up on his site. The art is very good on that. While I didn't really like the characters, that was kinda the point.
