Transmetro 2021 (2021)

In the year 2230, The City of New, New York is inhabited by trans-humanity; in an era where Body Augmentation is the norm, drugs and sex are marketed openly to everyone 24/7, aliens have come and gone, and the gap between classes is like the difference between Diamonds and Mud. Anti-Hero and Gonzo Journalist, Spider Jerusalem is a Hunter S. Thompson-inspired character who seeks The Truth in this futuristic Meg a-Metropolis. He has gained notoriety in the city for his famous column entitled: I Hate it Here Jerusalem and the sitting President (who is modeled after Richard Nixon) have interacted before. Both have disdain for one another due to their conflicting beliefs - but because the President is running for re-election, (and needs credible sources on his side) 'The Beast' summons Jerusalem for a no-holds-barred interview so he can be a step closer to defeating his challenger: Senator Gary Callahan - whom Spider 'affectionately' calls: The Smiler.
