The Invisibles Vol. 2, It’s unexpected to type this about a comic that most often deals with chaos magic and a patchwork of religions and other beliefs twisted into sci-fi...but this issue was romantic in a couple ways, I found.

The Invisibles Vol. 2, What a tour de force of amazing sequential narrative artwork by the artists in this book. Seriously. I was blown away page after page reading this comic. Just incredible. That’s it. That’s my whole take for this one.

The Invisibles Vol. 2, This is a time travel issue, much like how two issues ago was a time travel issue, but also completely unlike how two issues ago was a time travel issue. This one unravels KM’s hinted at relationship in the past.

"Sensitive Criminals" from Grant Morrison, Phil Jimenez, John Stokes, Daniel Vozzo, Heroic Age, and Todd Klein begins in The Invisibles Vol. 2

While the cell tends to Takashi's wounds, we get treated to a bit of biography for Edith and meeting King Mob.

The Invisibles Vol. 2, It’s the violence and dancing issue. Dane’s ignorance is still quite grating, but there is something interesting in watching him slowly become open-minded. The dance scene in this issue was pretty rewarding. (missed this last night)

The Invisibles Vol. 2, It’s tough in a series with multiple artists, but this might be my personal favorite artwork yet. The visuals do so much of the work here — from designing the fantastical elements to high action gunfights — it all looks incredible.

The Invisibles Vol. 2, This is as good of a series reset or refresh or whatever as you could want. The artwork in this issue is just phenomenal, and the story plants a number of really interesting seeds to explore later. Very good issue.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, Throughout this arc I found myself wondering how they were going to sort of reverse the serious damage done to King Mob, and this was a good way. Lots of abstraction in an issue that was also climactic. Good stuff.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, The type of Invisibles issues in which reality is fuzzy, or rather fuzzier than usual, because Dane is locked in a deceitful battle of the mind. Great stuff.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, I don’t think you can really say something like “things get weirder,” but an outer layer definitely fell away from the plot and the scenes as we’ve been experiencing them. Also, Steve Yeowell back on art is cool.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, King Mob with the help of Lord Fanny manages to free himself, just eviscerating his tormentor of the past few issues, Sir Miles. Leaves me to wonder how much (if any) of his revealed background in this arc was true.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, I’ve been uniformly pleased with the artwork in this series, but these last two have been especially superb, having to alternate depictions between a gritty disturbing interrogation and wild psychic visions.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, With that big King Mob cliffhanger just uh...hanging...we get to see what Dane is up to. As usual, he’s making “friends,” but also apparently has history with aliens and is so powerful he trounce the enemy himself.

The Invisibles Vol. 1 Sort of a more action-heavy continuation of last issue. All the time stuff and the fate is still here, but now there’s a lot more punching. The art is absolutely superb, and we end on a dramatic sort of suspenseful cliffhanger.

The Invisibles Vol. 1 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.

The Invisibles Vol. 1 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.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, 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.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, 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.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, 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.

The Invisibles Vol. 1, The culmination of an odd but memorable arc. These are some really really ambitious comics, and I like how it rewards readers for having a wide base of knowledge when coming in, though it would have been lost on me as a teen.
