Product Description

The Invisibles are back; wired, whacked-out and well-tooled up...in another explosion of counter-culture subversion and all-out anarchy. Every paranoid fantasy, every cranked up conspiracy theory, it's all here, it's all true...and it's the end of the world as we know it. Once more, Grant Morrison meshes fantasy and reality into a stew of radical, out-there storytelling, where anarchic, dimension-hopping freedom fighters clash with creatures whose gods are total control and unthinking obedience. Shamans, psychedelia, mind-control, the AIDS cure, madness, love and death. Trust nobody, believe everything, the real truth is in here! Warning: Recommended for older readers.

Customer Reviews

RADICAL SUPER-NARRATIVE BITES DOG
The Invisibles Volume One was brilliant, but almost claustrophobically dense in places. Right at the end, it accelerated to what I like to call "The Speed Of Woo". This, the beginning of Vol. Two, picks up where that left off, and the only words are : Oh My God. Comics story-telling at it's most intelligent and exciting.

The Comic Book for the End of the Millennium
Somewhere along the line in "Bloody Hell in America," you realize you're in over your head, that whatever well-worn turns you may have been used to in comic book storytelling have been turned completely around, and this ride is jumping the tracks.

How writer Grant Morrison manages to spin the end of time, the crash at Roswell, the Hindu god Ganesh, Aztec magic, and Quentin Tarantino movies into one story is a secret he'll probably take to his grave. But it all works, and the threads crackle and hum so intensely with pop-zeitgeist electricity you'll love getting sucked into the web.

Translation: It's really, REALLY cool. And one hell of a mind ride.

And honestly, if you can't get past the "swearing and blood," you should stick to the JLA. Or Bil Keane's Family Circus.

Gotta Love it, Gotta Have it!
Grant Morrison is still working for the forces of conspiracy encouraging false revolutionary praxis and making revolt another product to consume. There is nothing you can do. Buy the product, be the rebel.
