![]() ![]() As the head of the Technoccult corp says while preparing to unleash new product The Invisibles: "It's a thriller, it's a romance it's a tragedy it's a porno it's neo-modernist kitchen sink science fiction that you catch, like a cold." With the flawed art from the original serial corrected The Invisible Kingdom is an essential purchase for anyone interested in what lurks in the world's shadows-and what hides in plain sight. Oscillating between a 1970s cop show pastiche, the low-key story of an old woman saying her last farewells and a Lovecraft-in-Hollywood showdown with the extradimensional King of All Tears, The Invisible Kingdom contains more ideas on any given page than you'll find in the average book. This is where, having learned about the Invisible Order fighting to free the world from their Conspiracy enemies, it becomes apparent that everything wasn't that simple. For that, there's the secret history of London in Say You Want a Revolution, or the Matrix-inspiring wire-fu lunacy of Bloody Hell in America. It deals with a lot of stuff that he was into during the 90s and beyond. The Invisibles has been collected into seven books, of which The Invisible Kingdom is the conclusion in other words, it's not a good starting point. The Invisibles is Grant Morrison’s magnum opus. And as if that's not enough, it's not just a story Morrison's intent was that it would act as a kind of magical virus, reprogramming the mind of anyone who read it by stripping out all the false assumptions they've been fed from birth. After a night of violent and destructive anti-social behaviour, Dane and one of his friends are sentenced to two weeks in the deceptively-named Harmony House, a correctional facility for minors. Grant Morrison's Invisibles is the ultimate conspiracy epic, tying together every urban myth and every Illuminati-inspired wacko plot, into the story Naomi Klein was too scared and/or uninspired to tell you. In The Invisibles issue 1 we meet Dane McGowan, a teenage boy from Liverpool who appears to have a penchant for stealing cars and starting fires. ![]()
