The above reviewer obviously isn't familiar with the contents of 'Tales of Human Waste' and thus has no right to call himself a fan of the series.
This book, aka Transmetropolitan Book 0, is actually a compilation of two other 'trades': 'I Hate It Here' and 'Filth of the City.' Avid Transmet readers will recognize 'I Hate It Here' as the name of Spider Jerusalem's ficticious column and book. Both IHIH and FotC feature excerpts of Spider's columns with full-page art from various prominent artists, and both books do a lot to give new insight into the world of The City as well as Spider Jerusalem's personal history, including the origin of his tattoos.
With the same great writing from Warren Ellis that we've come to expect as well as a plethora of great art pieces, Tales of Human Waste is the icing on the cake, and shouldn't be missing from any fan's bookshelf.
