Doc and Angus go on a mind-altering voyage of conspiracies and revelations as only Grant Morrison can create in The Filth.

The Filth New Edition

https://www.amazon.com/Filth-New-Grant-Morrison-ebook/dp/B06XXSDY6Y/

Greg Feely is a "dodgy bachelor" living a quiet life in London alone with his elderly cat. Everything changes when a strange woman named Miami Nil confronts him. She informs him that "Greg Feely" is actually a "para-personality"--in effect, a secret identity--and that he is in fact Ned Slade, the top agent for an organization called the Hand, a group of extra-dimensional agents who need Greg/Ned back in action!

This out-of-the-box sci-fi story encapsulates the superb talents of two amazing creators into one of the most original graphic novels ever! From the legendary writer Grant Morrison (DOOM PATROL, BATMAN, THE INVISIBLES) and Chris Weston (THE INVISIBLES) comes sci-fi weirdness of the deepest level. Features the complete series of THE FILTH (#1-13) with extra sketch material and annotations from Grant Morrison.

Doc and Angus bulked up on their Vertigo Comics reading and return with a swole review of Flex Mentallo: Man Of Muscle Mystery.

Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery

https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Mentallo-Man-Muscle-Mystery-ebook/dp/B009POHHQW/

Once he was Hero of the Beach...and of the Doom Patrol. Now Flex Mentallo, the Man of Muscle Mystery, returns to investigate the sinister dealings of his former comrade, The Fact, and a mysterious rock star whose connection to Flex may holding the key to saving them both.

This fast-paced tale twists super-hero tropes, introducing one mind-boggling concept after another.

This long-asked-for Vertigo title is collected at last, presenting an early collaboration between writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, who would win much acclaim on ALL-STAR SUPERMAN.
