This sixth collection of Morrison's The Invisibles doesn't introduce much in the way of new ideas (and no new characters), but plays deftly with the ones put in place by earlier sequences. The emphasis is all on mindfuckery, with lots of discontinuous psychedelic sequences. One way to read it is as King Mob in bed with Ragged Robin, letting his drug-addled fantasy run riot until the Fight Club ripoff ending. Still fun. no reviews | add a review

In the sixth volume of the INVISIBLES collection, the group of freedom fighters must deal with the aftermath of their battle with the Hand of Glory. But as the Invisibles look to rest and regroup, they soon discover that this fight had far greater effects than their physical casualties. With King Mob growing even more violent and their leader Ragged Robin continuing to hide many secrets, the Invisibles find themselves dealing with time distortions, secret government installations, and their own warped pasts as they try to uncover the truth about the mind-controlling dwarf called Quimper.

This series actually reminds me a bit of LOST, in that the longer it goes on the more coherent it gets if you care to pay that much attention to it. I feel the need to connect with others who have read this title, and see their thoughts on it, their insight. I feel the distinct need to hunt down the annotated version that keeps getting tossed around the internet, but am loathe to do so until I finish reading it through sans annotation first (as I fear spoilers.)
The way that [a:Grant Morrison|12732|Grant Morrison|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1311378308p2/12732.jpg] consistently ties seemingly mindless events from the beginning and imbues them with symbolism is fascinating. I am still hoping that someone has compiled an INVISIBLES reading list out of all the books that are referenced throughout the series. I don't feel, as some have commented, that [a:Grant Morrison|12732|Grant Morrison|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1311378308p2/12732.jpg] is too opaque and dense to be easily understood, but rather that his work demands analysis, discussion, and interaction.
Just like LOST - there's the easy to follow story on top of a bunch of esoteric intricacies which can be analysed, parsed, read into a ridiculous amount, and thoroughly enjoyed. I love a series with depth, and this one consistently delivers.
I hope my graphic novel loving friends won't shun me for converting to the Church of Morrison. ( )
