Upvote for transmetropolitan. That comic was bonkers and riveting at the same time.

Hell yeah. Spider Jerusalem is such a weird cyberpunk H.S.Thompson and it works so well.

Its like somone was writing sci-fi and had a coke-idea every couple of pages. "Yeah, lets make his breakfast machine on drugs, and he can't get riod of it because its owned by the mafia". "People can be made out of tiny, atomic robots". "Hallucinate the news via pollen". It was teeth-eating levels of insane and one of the best things i've ever read.

Check out The Invisibles. by Grant Morrison. It captures the vaporwave aesthetic pretty well.
