Since last year writer Grant Morrison has been teasing readers with hints about a new series with artist Chris Weston entitled The Filth and today DC finally revealed some early details on the project.
A 13-issue Vertigo creator-owned mini-series (Morrison's first since The Invisibles), according to the publisher The Filth, is a “twisted super-thriller in which Morrison takes the reader on a psychedelic roller coaster ride through a maelstrom of extra-dimensional espionage, disease pathology, sex and violence, prosthetically-equipped dolphins, indolent nano-technology, co-opted reality and the notion of identity itself. Loaded with febrile imagery and Byzantine plot twists, The Filth is a mind-wrenching journey where nothing is exactly what it seems."
"Grant is one of the most imaginative and exciting storytellers in comics," said Karen Berger, Vertigo Executive Editor. "With The Filth, he's doing what he does best - taking us on a wild trip through a world that has to be experienced to be believed, and Chris's art is at its most intricate, innovative and dazzling."
"It's bigger, wilder, uglier and more heart-rending than the best summer blockbuster movie," said Morrison. "It's guaranteed to blind the mind's eye and infect the soul forever."
Inked by Gary Erskine, the series will premiere sometime this spring. |
