Product Description

Product Description

More Anarchic Weirdness from the Master of Subsversive Suspense! A timeless battle rages between the forces of psychic liberation and their dark counterparts, sleazy insectoid agents of control and repression...The Invisibles, a cutting edge group of occultist subversives, defend the frontlines against the ultimate conspiracy. Now, the battle lines have drawn, the conspiracy revealed. Or has it? Truth and lies, fact and fiction, the lines are blurred again and reality is inverted and the Invisibles are cast back into their own past, helpless as their secret history is plundered by the gods of mindless obedience. Trust no one...not even them!

4.0 out of 5 stars Existentialism for the LSD Generation, 26 May 2001
By dbrazier@ndirect.co.uk (South Bucks, England) - See all my reviews
The Invisibles oscillate between material reality and the worlds of thought and idea; a group of existential freedom fighters with crazy code names like Jack frost, Boy (who's a girl) Queen Mob and a transvestite shaman from Brazil called Lord Fanny, who's origin is revealed in this volume.

Together the secret cell of The Invisibles: violent, bloody, weird and just plain strange fight for freedom again otherworld beings who seek to quash the imagination and turn the many into the one!

The writer loves dialogue and each character is delieniated by the way he or she speaks, together they are trying to both express their own freedom and yet hold reality together as it slips and slides through their minds like a kalidoscope dream. Time travel, sexual innuendo and magical symbolisim bleed together into a whole reading experience that resonantes with a meaning that is meaningful, but somehow, never quite understandable. This makes it a book worth reading again and again. Go for it, once read you'll be hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Part 2 of volume 1 of the best comic book of the Nineties, 10 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Invisibles: Apocalipstick Vol 02 (Paperback)
This book contains issues 9-16 of the Invisibles volume 1, Morrisson's seminal comic book/spell. After a shaky start to the series, sales were down and DC comics were threatening to cancel. Morrisson urged his readers to join in an occult experiment involving sigil magic and something that teenage boys do a lot of.... This experiment may have worked (the book ran for another 47 issues) or it could be that the readership began to understand the multilayered plot that was unfolding in the stories contained in this collection.

The Invisibles are an activist cell that appear to use magic and all other kinds of subversion to battle the forces of total control and submission. Five members; two men, two women and a transexual, this collection concentrates on the magickal initiation of Lord Fanny (born male, but raised a witch in Brasil)which started as a child, but (s)he has yet to complete. If she fails, then the Invisibles are finished.

Also contains valuble background stories illuminating the Ultimate Conspiracy. Essential reading, you won't be able to wait for the series finale.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is just to make money, 9 April 2001
By t_wallbank@hotmail.com (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Invisibles: Apocalipstick Vol 02 (Paperback)
This book though a collection of one of the finest modern series is just not up to it. There is no narrative, which is not really anything to complain about, but the stories themselves are rubbish. I believe this book was released in order that people who buy comic books will buy it, why is this industry becoming so commercial, putting so many books out that just further lower people's expectations. Please don't get me wrong I'm not some kind of comic book purist, but sorry, DC/Vertigo its all your fault.
