Ah, JP finally realizes the joy of comics. So, can I recommend something else for you? Ever read Channel Zero?

Never heard of it. But if it's half as cool as Transmet, I'll have to check it out. What's it about?

oppressive future, broadcasts controlled by the gov't and the corps. One lone hacker breaks in and starts broadcasting short, cryptic messages, and gets everyone talking about it instead of the ads and the programs the "man" wants on their minds.
Been a while since I've read it. I wouldn't necessarily compare it to transmet, it was interesting when I did check it out, though. ANd cyberpunkish, so I thought I'd recommend it since you may not have heard.
