Reviews and Comments
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.

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.

When this book is at its best it's full of wonder and adventure and at its worst I'm reading endless taxonomies of fish.

You're Jim Lee, and you've got money to burn. You manage to throw though cash Uncle Al's way to get him to work on a cheese cake title and he does the best he can with what he's given.

There's nothing worth mentioning about the Michael Lopez's art, but at least Adam Hughes turned in some good Mucha inspired covers.
