Death to Status: Q

It's true that The Invisibles is one of the staggering achievements of our age (try reading it all at once, I dare you), but having just obtained the collected version and read it all at once I would direct those curious about Grant Morrison to The Filth, which is at least as brilliant and is shorter, to boot. I've got two copies of the series now (individual issues and the trade) and I regret nothing.

Now if DC can only reissue Morrison's Doom Patrol and Flex Mentallo, I'll be happy. Of course, since DC almost got sued over Flex, that may never happen. Sigh.

In ny cse, The Filth just stunning, assuming you can keep your head together enough to get through all thirteen issues. The interview linked to above is good reading - few (if any) spoilers but some good clarifications from Morrison, particularly about The Filth and its contrasts with The Invisibles.
