Summary: steal this review
Comment: The Invisibles might be dead but it could be the most important comic book series yet. Revolutionary Grant Morrison mixes pop culture, the anti-establishment, mind expansion, magic, sigils, linguistics, conspiracy theory, and disinformation into a complex of meaning known as The Invisibles.
It is becoming an abstraction, a symbol and map of the potential of the counterculture.
Douglas Rushkoff says, "counterculture...is no longer valid as a label...Because the War is Over. We've won. Period. They - whoever they are - have surrendered to us...It's hard to be in the so-called counterculture anymore cuz as soon as we've figured out something it's at the mall two weeks later."
But Grant Morrison not only thinks we won, but that we can still change the world.

Summary: The Comic Book for the End of the Millennium
Comment: 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.
Rating: 4
Summary: Americanized Action
Comment: The Invisibles' fourth volume begins their second major storyline in America, doing American things with American people.
Grant Morrison had just begun to write the JLA during this volume, and it affected the Invisibles to a major extent. The story becomes simpler; there are a ton of gun fights and the whole tone of the series changes. Morrison claims he did this on purpose, but it's unclear as to why he did it.
Regardless, Phil Jimenez really compliments the story's general feel, very Perez influenced and detailed, very American.
A necessary volume if you're reading the Invisibles and a very good starting point if you haven't started.
