Parts of this feel incredibly dated and trapped in the 90s. At times Morrison is just writing nonsense that he thinks sounds cool. Despite all this there are some absolutely brilliant issues in here, but it's hard to canonize The Invisibles as a whole.

My favourite part of every book is the front matter. The forewords, the introductions, everything but the book. I like how books relate to other books, and how they form a personal constellation.
