I’ve never read something like The Invisibles. It not only maintains Morrison pushing the boundaries of the medium, but it pushes the boundaries of your mind. It does sound kind of corny, but it’s true. The series makes you think and overthink time, society, people and concepts like no other form of media I’ve ever consumed. It’s so intrinsically Grant Morrison.

This volume wraps up the series and ties up all the loose ends, it effectively leaves the story in a loop allowing to be restarted an infinite amount of times allowing the reader to take something new from it every time. Morrison actively challenges the reader’s knowledge of pretty much everything over the lengthy course of this series.

I’ve reviewed each volume prior to this with 4 stars (probably ranging from an 8-9/10 for each book) but this one puts all the concepts introduced previously into perspective allowing for a satisfying conclusion to the literal trip Morrison takes the readers on.

And for those reasons I give this specific book and the whole series a 10/10. It’s boundary pushing, mind bending and a whole lot of fun.
