What a hoot
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.

The quality of the reproduction from scans of original art is immaculate. Absolutely masterful and I'm really glad Vanguard was able to put this together.

It's been a while since I picked one of these up. Mizuki's blend of realistic backgrounds and cartoon figures is awesome.

Thoroughly middling

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.
Trying to inject actual Hatian voodoo into the character was a noble idea that mostly lands flat in execution but I appreciate the effort.
There's nothing worth mentioning about the Michael Lopez's art, but at least Adam Hughes turned in some good Mucha inspired covers.
