A review by thisisstephenbetts
The Invisibles, Vol. 2: Apocalipstick by Grant Morrison

4.0

This really starts to hit its stride. It's shed its debt to Sandman from the first volume (which I was slightly surprised at). For the most part it's becoming less verbose too (although there are still fairly long passages of Morrisson's (pseudo?) automatic writing schtick). It's pretty scatter-shot, with different characters suddenly taking prominence, but there is a coherent arc.

Generally, there seems to be a certain attention to craft displayed here that Morrisson apparently decided was unnecessary at some point later in his career, and the whole thing - madcap, psychedelic, self-indulgent nonsense that it is - reads surprisingly well.
