Written by Grant Morrison; Art by various In the second volume of this series of action and intrigue, the Invisibles, including new recruit Dane McGowan, try to prepare as the Conspiracy's shock troops launch their greatest direct attack on them ever. And as this hidden war between authority and anarchy continues, the origin of Lord Fanny, the transvestite shaman who can call down the Earth's most ancient and terrifying magic, is finally revealed. But as conspiracies and hidden truths create a labyrinth of deception and distrust, even the power of this she-man shaman may not be enough to keep the Invisibles alive to fight another day.

Series: The Invisibles (#2)
An improvement over the first volume, but there are still issues with characterization. Dane/Jack is still barely more than an outline of a character. And the way Morrison handles Fanny is uncomfortably problematic, more often than not. There is some good storytelling in here, in the one-off stories...
Lord Fanny is the best and it's great to find out her past. I hope John O' Dreams is not really dead. This series is such an acid trip - it's awesome. Old school - but cool b/c it's all about a philosophical and mythological spin on this group of superheroes.
