I started off hating this book and regretted buying it. When it started talking about the magic of the city I decided to keep on reading. I reached the end of the book still regretting having taken the time, money and effort to have read it. This is not the first Grant Morrison I have read that made me feel this way, and if Doom Patrol ends up doing the same then I just give up.

There's an oddness to this one...it's the introduction to the series, but it's also the most thematically heavy (something usually saved for a midpoint). Interestingly, it also teaches you how to read the book. And this is probably my third or fourth reread, and I'm still catching new details. Love it, even if this volume's a bit icky.

The initiation begins! Not just Dane but the reader being initiated, plunged into a set of symbols and themes that are challenging to untangle and decipher, lots of threads set up that presumably will pay off later on. I never thought about the continuity of The Invisibles I guess because I never made it past the first volume, but it's truly impressive the amount of characters or events casually introduced or mentioned that continue to be developed later on. The feeling of being trapped in the system of control and the fact that rebellion alone is not the answer is still very real.
