The Filth by Grant Morrison
5.0
That's the one where Grant Morrison pushes himself to the limit.
"Weird" is too tame an adjective to describe this masterpiece. The incredible notions and ideas that are injected into this book have completely shattered my brain into a billion pieces.
Ned Slade, our main character, likes hardcore porn and his cat. More importantly, he's also a prominent member of "The Hand", an extra-dimensional "super cleansing" law-enforcing brigade that eradicates spiritual, sexual and technological anomalies to keep the earth on its path, what is also referred to as "Status Q". Some of the Slade's adventures are absolutely hilarious, others are gnarly and grisly, but never boring.
A bunch of diverse characters are introduced throughout the book, ranging from a Soviet chimp assassin to a porn Baron who seeks to f*** Los Angeles using the enlarged, black sperm of a Dutch porn star. Yep. Very messed up.
Overall enthralling, The Filth is also a very clever book, with a plot so complex it will make your head explode.
