Hey guys,
I finally got to finish reading Grant Morrison's comic book epic The Invisibles this past week.
The series was very rewarding and while wanting to get to the end, it was a powerful enough saga to make me sad when I got to the end. There very likely will not be any more adventures for our favorite cell of freedom fighters. The sadness I felt when getting to the end and realizing that was almost like what I felt when I got to the end of Anne Rice's Memnoch the Devil. (You see, I thought there'd be no more adventures for Lestat and I actually cried because of it... Go ahead, laugh all you want. It's a great story and Rice actually tricks you into thinking Lestat is real in some parts...)
Anyway, that's off the subject at hand...
I realize that most of you who read this probably don't have the Invisbles on your bookshelves to go and pull off, so I'll use my trusty blog friend YouTube to post some vids of some artwork and such from the series to give you just a taste (that doesn't even scratch the surface) of the masterpiece that is the Invisibles...

Ah well...
As I said guys, that's not even scratching the surface... Grant Morrison bascially took everything that he thought was cool and sunk it into this comic... In doing so, he churned out a magical masterpiece worthy of study, praise and repeat reads... Go check it out (with an open mind) if you're so inclined...
Until next time...
Peace...
