The Invisibles, Vol. 2: Apocalipstick by Paul Johnson, Jill Thompson, Grant Morrison, Chris Weston, John Ridgway, Steve Parkhouse
5.0
The second volume of Morrison's masterpiece continues to hit on all cylinders.
This volume leads us in nicely from Volume One and then takes a few issues to look at other members of Invisibles cells past, present and future (in more ways than one).
Lord Fanny's origin story follows and takes us through landscapes of prostitution, drug binges, magic, Aztec gods, and ultimately victory while hammering home repeated themes integral to the series.
The volume concludes with some big reveals pertaining to Dane and the series as a whole.
No matter how disjointed you might have thought this series was the first time you read it, upon further examination, you can see that it's a tightly wound work. The series seems more an experience and less a work of fiction with each issue you read, every time you read it.
My utmost recommendation for this and all volumes.
*- Added this to my "Scorpio Artist" list for artist Jill Thompson.
