janedoelish 's review for:
The Invisibles, Vol. 7: The Invisible Kingdom
by Warren Pleece, Philip Bond, Steve Yeowell, Frank Quitely, Grant Morrison, Sean Phillips, Jay Stephens
Ugh.
I considered evaluating this collection by giving it stars, but found that I could not do that. Every grade from one star to five would be an accurate description of my reading experience. It defies categorization. I cannot say if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps the text simply defies such categorization.
The book is a giant mess, but there is method to its madness. Traditional plotting and pacing are thrown right out of the window, and yet there is a kind of structure to it. The underlying philosophy wriggles like a slippery fish, yet dares the reader to grasp it more firmly. It is tedious - and strangely exciting.
