I feel the need to mention again how much I thoroughly adore this series.

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. ( )

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.

Come on. This is Morrison at his most incoherent, spewing action-movie shit under a chaos-magick patina about a fingernail deep. ( )
