The Filth was a short (13 issue) comic written by Grant Morrison. It was the project which followed The Invisibles. In many ways, Grant intended for it to be a sequel, of sorts, to the Invisibles. I think if you include Flex Mentallo (which I've never read), as the first part, he considers it a trilogy. No recurring characters, but lots of recurring themes.

The Invisibles is (sort of) about fanatic freedom fighter folks who are fighting the forces of conformity. The system is the enemy (or so it seems).

The Filth is on the flip side of the coin. The main characters are part of the "system". They're battling horrible things which shouldn't exist in an attempt to cleanse reality and maintain Status Q (the way things are).

Like all of Morrison's stuff, there's a lot of twists and turns and confusion and Discordian themes. A lot of discussion about identity, reality, and what lies beyond it. I think it's a pretty good read and is a great companion to the Invisibles.

For your consumption, I've uploaded the entire Filth series in jpg format here--

Issues 1-7 (http://www.4shared.com/file/15222690/87265057/The_Filth_isses_1-7.html)
Issues 8-11 (http://www.4shared.com/file/15223243/1434b019/The_Filth_issues_8-11.html)
Issues 12-13 (http://www.4shared.com/file/15223536/2e50c4d4/The_Filth_issues_12-13.html)


Enjoy!

Comics are often a good source of anti-bored.

according to the file host, they'll be there until I don't log in for 30 days.

So uhhhh, hard to say, but at least 30 days.
