Finally got around to buying the remaining books of Transmetropolitan . I'm probably going to end up getting the rest of 100 Bullets once the final trade is released . I have a few runs that I need to finish out and its time I start doing that lol
What is Transmetropolitan about? How would you rank it?

It's set in a dystopian future and the first part at least is about a presidential election. The protagonist is a writer who is pulled back into the "real world" after having become a hermit to finish off a book and has now run out of money. The book is a dark technocrazy world where everything is legal no matter how immoral and people just weird! It was one of the first mature comics I read and it blew me away.
It is tricky. For example, I am getting monthlies of titles I really like (mainly artist) and do not want to wait for. Telling myself I will get the collected editions for things I want to read later on and not all that interested in (the art) now. Doesn't make sense to wait for an OHC on a title that I don't care for the art as much. Makes much more sense to get the OHC of an artist I really like. Someday I will figure it out.
