The Invisibles, Vol. 2: Apocalipstick by Grant Morrison
5.0
I read the first trade-paperback volume of Grant Morrison's the Invisibles last summer, and while it was certainly better than any other latter day Morrison I'd encountered, I wasn't blown away. It seemed to be just too much, too deliberately weird, too enamored of its own bad behavior. Adolescent.
Just finishing volume two, I'm hooked. This is what fictions are meant to do. The story-telling is the strongest I've seen from Morrison (and some of the strongest I've seen in comics), and brashness of the first volume, though not dissipating, seems well-earned.
Out of adolescence and into adulthood, the Invisibles shows that growing up doesn't mean settling down.
The catchword, the key to the kingdoms, the secret: disobedience.
Gimme more.
