The Invisibles are those who resist the stagnation of outside-this-world conspirators, whose goal is the ultimate suppression of individuality - mostly I thought of the Auditors of Reality from Discworld with the added bonus of sexual fetishism. 'Say You Want a Revolution' collects the first eight i...
Hm. On one hand, I'm consistently fascinated by what Morrison is going to pull out in this series. Anything goes, it seems. But this storyline in particular felt a bit drawn out to me. And could the characters be any thinner? Still, I'm enjoying myself far more than not, and there have been some rea...
Grant Morrison is a mad man. A muscular man. Flex Mentallo uses his muscles to drop people to their knees. just by flexing them.The Beard Hunter. jealous he doesn't have one goes after everyone else's. Shaving cream and razor in hand.That's not all. The Brotherhood of Dada returns. and more really b...
Grant Morrison has made a career out of throwing around tons of wildly creative ideas and waiting to see which ones stick. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I admire his creativity and willingness to try to work out even his strangest ideas (and DC's willingness to let him do as he likes...
A nice send-up of the Judge Dredd world, but it just does not have enough to be a fully engaging story. It is also a nice take on the Cold War era as we get to look at a soviet-style megacity. In East Meg, criminals are reprogrammed to serve as judges, and Razors is one of their best judges. The boo...
Much of this volume is spent setting up what will follow later in the series, so it can be a bit slow-going at times. But it certainly can pack an emotional impact, especially in the resolution of Grundy's storyline and in this volume's dream of David, including this time some deceased Golden Age he...
Grant Morrison has said that he wrote The Invisibles as part of a magic ritual, and also that aliens told him part of the plot. Really. The Invisibles ends up being pretty much exactly what you'd expect, given that background. Let me also add that there's a great deal of ultra-paranoid conspiracy th...
I'd never read this but Perpetch recommended in on Rolling Stone so OK. I guess I liked it? It gets pretty dark and grody and hopeless in places, not 100% my thing. And it's that kind of odd book where it seems like there might be a really impressive amount of world-building going on, but you see so...
There is an odd kind of purity in this level of madness. The narrative just charges forward wherever its going without any concern for narrative, like a drunken dog on Halloween night.
