Transient Man Hardcover
Transient is a black comedy about a homeless man whose visions lead him to believe he is an inter-dimensional savior of humanity, on a mission to save the universe. Is he indeed the "one," chosen by mystical divine forces to embark on a crusade against ultimate evil, or a hopeless lunatic, aimlessly wandering the streets of San Francisco?

Brilliant Graphic Novel, Original Story
"It's a shame that graphic novels like these get lost amongst the big productions of Marvel, DC, and Top Cow.
If you are looking for a quirky storyline, off-beat characters, and amazing art, Transient is for you. This is the kind of graphic novel you'll finish in one or two sittings- it's hard to put down. The creator has got a wild imagination.
If you like graphic novels, you need to add this one to your collection.
My only complaint was that the laminate on the cover looked a little worse for wear- the corners were roughed up and bubbling. Not sure if this is due to the printing services employed or Amazon's handling... probably a mix of both. But definitely happy I picked up this book, for the content within the cover." - Pepper -
What a strange book
"If you like comic books, get this.
If you like original stories, get this.
If you are intrigued by a story where you don't know if the narrator is crazy or not, get this.
If you can enjoy some black humor mixed with generic theology, gritty paint like art, and some imaginative take on things that go bump in the night: get this.
I originally learned about this through another of Massive Black's works. This book was originally Kickstarted before Kickstarting became big.
I couldn't put this book down. Great visuals, thick dark inking (I'm tired of white pages), and a bizarre plot made this my favorite underground comic this year." - TastyWhale -
