The Invisibles Vol. 1 #14: The foreshadowing the fluid nature of time pays off here in an issue that is predicated on that concept...and even without those interesting bits, it would have still built to a suspenseful ending all the same. #TurningInvisibles
Morrison just owning me with the rate of revelation he’s using to pace this book. I want all the new info about The Invisibles I can get, and I’m more than happy right now to be on this trail of spaced out bread crumbs.
The Invisibles Vol. 1 #13: I enjoyed learning more about Fanny’s history, especially the supernatural elements and the Aztec mythology. I don’t know if it holds up as far as treating her identity respectfully, but it felt like it might. Meanwhile, Jack’s gone. #TurningInvisibles
Finally, in awe at how perfect the time displaced panel is on this page, how it’s the exact right choice to heighten the horror and tragedy of the terrible things happening throughout the right page. Just a quick glimpse at the start to heighten the feeling of the ultimate fall.
The Invisibles Vol. 1, #12: Major Venture Brothers vibes here, but less slapsticky (not that the lives of henchman are the domain of these two properties). Basically: this is your life slain henchman. Also uses mixed chronology perfectly, a real challenge. #TurningInvisibles
The Invisibles Vol. 1, #11: What an issue. Real old school horror comic vibe, layered with touches of the series to date and a bit of class warfare digression, raising questions about what it costs those who join the fight and end up carrying out half measures. #TurningInvisibles
Finally, here we have the two most Morrisonian panels I’ve found in The Invisibles so far.
The Invisibles Vol. 1, #10: A pretty abrupt shift sees us following what is later revealed to be another Invisible outside of King Mob and his crew. It’s definitely a story with a white writer tackling issues of race in the ‘90s, but it mostly works. #TurningInvisibles
