Transmetropolitan. Žalozpěv

- 6 hodin čtení
Zuřivému reportérovi Spiderovi Jerusalemovi a jeho ohavným asistentkám nezbývá moc času. Poté, co je šílený a pomstychtivý prezident vyštípal z oficiálních kanálů, nemají tři mediální renegáti jinou možnost, než vyhlásit psychopatické hlavě státu partizánskou zpravodajskou válku. Tím ale jejich trable nekončí. Jerusalemova tajemná choroba nabývá na intenzitě a zatímco se z ulic, terorizovaných ostřelovačem, ztratili policisté, blíží se k Městu obávaná superbouře.
Jde do tuhého. Zuřivý reportér Spider Jerusalem přišel o práci i o všechno, co měl, mozek mu ničí nevyléčitelná choroba a v patách má nájemné vrahy, které si platí samotný prezident Spojených států. I tak má ale Spider úsměv na tváři a v srdci smích. Proč? Protože společně se svými ohavnými asistentkami narazil na pořádně prohnilou stopu, kterou za sebou prezident nechal. Protože skládanka podvodů a vražd se dá konečně složit. A protože Spider má na své straně pravdu a ztratit už nemá co. Legendární scenárista Warren Ellis (The Authority, Planetary) a kreslíř Darick Robertson (Banda, Wolverine) zvyšují kreativní radiaci až někam na sterilizační úroveň; kniha Transmetropolitan: Lék shrnuje čísla 49–54 jejich toxické komiksové série.
Vrazi. Násilníci. Prznitelé psů. Zloději DNA. O těch všech psal zuřivý reportér Spider Jerusalem během své dlouhé a těžce zamedikované kariéry. Jenže i takové hrůzy působí jako kotec dovádivých koťátek v porovnání s ryzím zosobněním lidské degenerace: totiž s politiky. Bohužel pro Spidera a uchování jeho zdravého rozumu je teď volební rok a jeho publikum chce – ba dokonce požaduje –, aby je nasytil svým pohledem na volby. Takže se do toho pustí – za pomoci své nové asistentky a několika stříkaček kvazilegálních substancí. Jenže ani všechny ty těžce nabyté zkušenosti nemohly Spidera připravit na zrůdnost, která se má nyní vyplazit na světlo světa. Proslulý spisovatel Warren Ellis (The Authority, Planetary) a výtvarník Darick Robertson (The Boys, Wolverine) spolu v komiksu Transmetropolitan: Rok parchanta najíždějí do volební kampaně s náklaďákem plným dynamitu. Kniha obsahuje sebraná čísla 13 až 18 jejich kulervoucí komiksové série.
Futuristická Amerika si volí prezidenta. Na výběr má mezi nixonovským Sviňákem a psychopatickým Fešákem, což je jako vybírat si, jestli chcete kulku do kolena, nebo kotníku - ale vysvětlujte to apatické, pochlebovačné veřejnosti. Jediný, kdo může té "nové lůze" otevřít oči heverem, je novinář Spider Jerusalem. A to zrovna teď, když mu jeho asistentky ukradly všechny kreditky. Zuřivý reportér Spider Jerusalem pokračuje v průzkumu světa budoucnosti.
Spider Jerusalem nenávidí každého v tomhle zatraceném Městě - a přesto se za něj bude rvát do posledního dechu. Pátý díl komiksové ságy Transmetropolitan mu pro to poskytne spoustu příležitostí; v Bílém domě sedí psychopat s fešným úsměvem na rtech a do hry se vrací brutální a zkorumpované policejní jednotky. Hlas Spidera Jerusalema je hlasem krve a betonu, když si uprostřed noci šeptají v opilosti samy pro sebe. Není to hezký hlas a příběhy, které vypráví, vás popálí jako žhavé špičky cigaret.
Fell. Svazek 1 - Kruté město
- 148 stránek
- 6 hodin čtení
Temný detektivní příběh, na kterém se sešel elitní tým Warren Ellis (Tranmsetropolitan) a Ben Templesmith (Třicet dnů dlouhá noc), se odehrává v studeném a nelítostném světě, vedle kterého vypadá ten z filmu Sedm jako disneyovská idylka. Detektiv Fell byl odstrčený do rozpadajícího se města, které pod poetickým názvem Snowtown skrývá hnijící smetiště lidských neřestí. Má začít znova od začátku, ve městě, ve kterém je zlo a šílenství všudypřítomné a nic nedává smysl. Na takovém místě se může Fell držet jediné základní pravdy... Každý něco skrývá. Dokonce i on sám.
SLÁVA! Nic jiného z vás paranoika v totální deziluzi neudělá s větším gustem – a ve Městě budoucnosti teď není nikdo slavnější než megapopulární zuřivý reportér Spider Jerusalem! Spider toho má tak akorát dost. Stala se z něj karikatura, postavička z televize, celebrita, kterou všichni znají a nikdo už ji nebere vážně. Tak takhle tedy ne. Je nejvyšší čas nabušit se všemi drogami, které jsou zrovna po ruce, vyspat se z toho a pak čerstvý a s rozběhem někoho nakopnout do koulí. Třeba prezidenta. Ten parchant si o to přece říkal.
reportér Spider Jerusalem pokračuje v průzkumu světa budoucnosti. Při svém putování narazí na komunitu lidí, poskládaných z miniaturních strojů, setká se s rozmrazenými nešťastníky z našich časů a zavítá i do historických rezervací, kde konfrontuje samotné dějiny. Ve Městě ho zatím očekává první velký protivník – totiž jeho exmanželka. Respektive její hibernovaná hlava. A banda zabijáckých farmářů. A psychopatický policejní kastrát. A také monstrum, kterému říká „táto“. Život totiž není jenom zábava. Život je pes. Budoucnost není růžová. Hraje všemi barvami a vrhá temné stíny. Ve druhém díle komiksového opusu Transmetropolitan se scenárista Warren Ellis a kreslíř Darick Robertson vracejí do světa, kde je módním trendem proměna člověka v inteligentní prach, kde se minulost zavírá do rezervací a kde lidé vypisují petice za smrt nenáviděných novinářů. Ano, takových, jako je třeba Spider Jerusalem.
Planetary 2: Čtvrtý muž
- 144 stránek
- 6 hodin čtení
Jsou tři, brázdí celý svět, hledají vše podivné a zázračné a odhalují věci, které by jiní raději nechali v skrytu. Jsou to archeologové záhad, odkrývají tajné dějiny planety a mapují neviditelné hranice fantazie. První díl Ellisovy a Cassadayovy série, jakkoli skvělý, byl pouhou předehrou a úvodem do problematiky. Teprve teď začíná jít do tuhého a rouška tajemství se pomaličku zvedá. A vy se dozvíte, jaké podivné superhrdiny zrodila Británie, co zvláštního se dělo v jedné tajné základně v poušti nebo proč z Ameriky není vidět jistý ostrov obývaný od nepaměti Amazonkami... aha, a abychom nezapomněli, taky zjistíte, proč přišel Elijáš Snow o podstatnou část svých vzpomínek a kdo je ten tajemný Čtvrtý.
Spider bojuje se světem, který se zbláznil Zuřivý reportér Spider Jerusalem přišel o práci, o bankovní účet i o apartmán. Což ho staví do ideální pozice pro to, aby začal budovat plán na svržení samotného prezidenta Spojených států. V novém díle série Transmetropolitan od komiksové superstar Warrena Ellise přituhuje. Starý dobrý sjetý novinář s dvoubarevnými brýlemi na nose má ale v rukávu pár nabroušených es.
Spider Jerusalem praštil s novinařinou, uprchl ze světa budoucnosti a žije ve srubu v lesích. Jen s tím, co opravdu potřebuje k životu – což jsou drogy, alkohol, cigarety a munice. Jenže i tam ho jeho minulost dožene… v podobě smlouvy na napsání několika knih, za které už dostal a utratil zálohu. Nedá se nic dělat, musí se vrátit zpátky do města, které miluje i nesnáší. A rozhodně se od posledně zrovna moc nezlepšilo, pořád je plné podivných existencí a politiků, sekt a úchylů, prostě, pořád je o čem psát a koho mlátit.
Planetary 1: Do všech koutů světa a jiné povídky

Slavná série se točí kolem tříčlenné skupinky „archeologů nemožného“, kteří po celém světě odhalují záhady a taje a specializují se na bytosti se superschopnostmi a jejich vliv na svět lidí. Působí proto svým způsobem jako mnohem zábavnější a pestřejší komiksová obdoba Akt X. V prvním svazku najdeme krátký úvod a šest propojených prvních příběhů týmu, které nás zavedou tam, kam název slibuje: od japonského ostrova obydleného obludami podobnými dinosaurům, přes Hong Kong, kde se zločinem bojují duchové vyzbrojení přízračnými zbraněmi, jež není nikdy třeba dobíjet, až po objev kvantového počítače vyrobeného v roce 1945.

Vždycky existuje druhá cesta. Tony Stark vylepšil své tělo pomocí kovu... a teď stojí proti člověku, který si vylepšil přímo tělo. Čeká nás boj kovu proti masu. A v tomhle případě má maso silně navrch. Když chce Marvel znovu rozjet nějakou řadu, obvykle jí dává nějakým výrazným tvůrcům typu Kevina Smithe, Granta Morrisona, Briana M. Bendise, Gartha Ennise nebo Warrena Ellise. A ten poslední, tvůrce komiksů jako Fell či Transmetropolitan, se pustil do restartu Muže v oceli. Vrátil se k jeho minulosti, mrknul na jeho podstatu a nastavil trať vedoucí do jeho budoucnosti. V komiksu Extremis se mixují klasické ellisovské úvahy (většinou o drogách, politice a zbraních) s opravdu extrémními bitkami (v precizní malbě Adi Granova).

Situace se nezlepší ani s jejich návratem do Británie. Mrtvých přibývá a záhadní fantomové vystupují z mlžného oparu vysoké politiky...
Superhrdinové, kteří se nebojí menšího zla! Authority jsou hrdinové pouze v nejužším významu slova. Nejsou dokonalí, nejsou neomylní a mají víc slabostí, než by správní superhrdinové měli mít. Jenže tahle nemilosrdná skupina šíleně mocných nadlidí je bohužel tím jediným, co stojí mezi Zemí a totální zkázou. Tým Authority čelí nespočtu hrozeb. A ví, že někdy je možné čelit násilí pouze ještě větším násilím. Což se hodí, protože jejich denním chlebem jsou záležitosti jako národ teroristů, který má v plánu zničit svět čistě pro zábavu, invaze z alternativní Země, které stále vládne Británie, nebo nepřátelský mimozemský tvor, který je v podstatě Bohem. TOTO JE AUTHORITY. PROKAŽTE JÍ VĚRNOST. NEBO VÁM JENNY ROZKOPE HLAVY. Komiks obsahuje celý první run série Authority (sešity Authority 1-12 a Planetary/The Authority: Rulling The World 1) s uzavřeným příběhovým obloukem a 20 stran bonusového materiálu.

But the legendary street reporter's bread-and-butter stories of organ traffickers, DNA thieves, and dog fondlers are just an appetizer for that ultimate banquet of human degradation - politics.

But even with all his years of hard-won cynicism, Spider is still in for a shock when he starts to turn over these particular rocks - and there won't be enough mind-numbing drugs in the whole world to mask the corruption that he and his new assistants are about to expose."--Provided by publisher

I hadn't opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simone's spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.

“For a gripping, near-future science-fiction tale, I highly recommend Trees.” -- Kirkus Ten years after they landed. All over the world. And they did nothing, standing on the surface of the Earth like trees, exerting their silent pressure on the world, as if there were no-one here and nothing under foot. Ten years since we learned that there is intelligent life in the universe, but that they did not recognize us as intelligent or alive. Trees, a new science fiction graphic novel by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Red) and Jason Howard (Super Dinoasaur, Astounding Wolf-Man) looks at a near-future world where life goes on in the shadows of the Trees: in China, where a young painter arrives in the “special cultural zone” of a city under a Tree; in Italy, where a young woman under the menacing protection of a fascist gang meets an old man who wants to teach her terrible skills; and in Svalbard, where a research team is discovering, by accident, that the Trees may not be dormant after all, and the awful threat they truly represent.
