 Rating:  - The Invisibles, Book 6: Kissing Mister Quimper "Kissing Mister Quimper" is my favorite book in the Invisibles series, and in many ways I'd say it's the perfect introduction to creator/writer Grant Morrison's vision: it's chock-full of mysticism, fringe science, bizarre events, and Grade-A ultraviolence. Unfortunately, since it collects the final issues of Volume 2, most of it would be nonsensical to someone who hasn't read the preceding five trade paperback collections. So for that reason alone I can't recommend this book as a great starting ...

Well, according to this series, Order is the worst possible thing bar none next to the apocalypse. Why?

There are a lot of twists and turns and the story benefits greatly from it. A number of loose ends are tied up and really shows another talent of Morrison as a storyteller. The Invisibles, through most of the previous series, seemed to be messy and out of control, but he reigns it all in and begins ... Read More Rating: - Good stuffWhat can I say? The man delivers. He mixes everything and does it with talent most of the time. Morrisson is good and getting better. He is still far from Moore... but then... everybody is. The Invisibles is one of the best series ever, up there with the Sandman, Cerebus and all the other good stuff!!! Rating: - Better Than Preacher, Better Than Transmet...This is the near-final and second-best segment of what is possibly the most brilliant, innovative and headache inducing comic book series ever. Grant Morrison's mind is a dark and sticky wonderland, and we should all buy this book and read it and thank him for splitting his head open to give it to us. _The Invisibles_ rivals _From Hell_ as a work which capture magic in words and pictures. While the series finale, _Countdown to the Millennium_ (as yet unreleased) is the best --it's a drug in ... Read More
