>>107971463My own preference with The Filth in particular compared to Invisibles is that it's a lot more compact and purposeful. Invisibles was kind of just whatever Grant felt like made up as he went along, which is cool but I prefer comics where you get the message well orchestrated in an efficient format with a plan in advance on how everything's going to come together and each part is going to play a role in an orchestral kind of sense.
Sucks how Watchmen is getting raped everywhere now between HBO and Doomsday Clock, but if that weren't going on I'd make an unqualified reference to Watchmen as another example of a really tightly done, perfectly orchestrated comic that gets the message across without meandering through random subplots for fifty issues.
I don't hate the more free form / probably less planned works like Grant's run on Doom Patrol, Invisibles, Gaiman's Sandman, etc. But given the choice I'd prefer a more purposeful injection of full formed story over a "it's the journey not the destination" smattering of fifty issues that eventually coalesce into an ending.
