A review by shea_proulx
The Filth by Grant Morrison

2.0

The plot was incomprehensible, and the characters were unrelatable - other reviewers have said as much. I want to add that, for a comic that features soooooo many massive tight-shirted and bare titties (and even an unexplained captive woman in a tank who seems immobile under the weight of like a dozen double DDs), it somehow utterly fails the Bechdel test (no female characters with names ever speak to eachother about something other than a man). I love a weird sexy romp, but the female characters are only used to move the plot along. Combined with a heavy-metal aesthetic that reeks of pointless objectification, the lack of individualized female characters with motivations not revolving around Greg Feely feels incredibly dated. Why does one of them even offer blow jobs to try to get him to do his job? What a waste of awesome artwork.
