Summary: Americanized Action
Review: The Invisibles' fourth volume begins their second major storyline in America, doing American things with American people. Grant Morrison had just begun to write the JLA during this volume, and it affected the Invisibles to a major extent. The story becomes simpler; there are a ton of gun fights and the whole tone of the series changes. Morrison claims he did this on purpose, but it's unclear as to why he did it. Regardless, Phil Jimenez really compliments the story's general feel, very Perez influenced and detailed, very American. A necessary volume if you're reading the Invisibles and a very good starting point if you haven't started.

Summary: Kind of an action-movie version of the series, but cool.
Review: This collection is meant as a jumping-on point for new readers, and considering how esoteric, deep, and complex 'The Invisibles' usually is, this book is a nice change of pace. The amazing thing is that Morrison slows down the merry-go-round without derailing it. He *wants* you to get on, but he also wants people who've been on it for a while to stay -- no mean feat. He pulls is off very well, somehow. Check this out, then dive in to the rest of this amazing, brilliant series.

Summary: EXPLOSIONS
Review: This is when The Invisibles enters the cream stage of its existence, smoothly entering the minds of the readers with the beautiful art of Phil Jimenez and action-filled experimental narrative set to make your mind trip. If you've never read the book, this might be the place to start since it's less literary than the first volume, and the first 25 issues can always be revisited if you like what you see here.

Summary: The Invisibles, action movie style...
Review: This short but sweet trade paperback colects the OTT beginings of the 2nd Volume of this wonderfull series. This is a good introduction to the Invisibles, as this story reads like a highly entertaining, psychadelic blockbuster, making it more acessible than most of the other stories in this series, which can (at times) redifine the word "odd"... Read it and, if you like it, check out the other trades... the series is really varied and is, literally, about EVERYTHING! Sex, love, gnosticism, rebellion, music, art, death, friendship, drugs, science, magic, literature, meta-physics, ... its all in there somewhere... Stories about sexy Anarchists dont get any better than this...
