Oh, and Jack Frost is the newest reincarnation of the Buddha and is extremely powerful. These are all codenames they have chosen for themselves. The team highlighted in the book consists of King Mob, Ragged Robin, Lord Fanny, Boy, and the newest member, Jack Frost. The Invisibles is the story of a cell of freedom fighters fighting against the entrenched power systems of the world, which are in league with dark beings from another universe. There are freedom fighters who lose sight of what they are fighting and why and agents of terrible order whose entire existence has been pain because of what they know and what they work toward. There’s sex, drugs, dancing, music, violence, aliens, magic, holographic universes, fetish clubs, government conspiracies, monsters, time travel. The Invisibles captures those feelings to a tee. We had no idea what was coming in the millennium. That utopia we thought we were heading towards was being built for us while we were trying to develop our own. However, we also knew that just behind all of that was this terrible yawning darkness, this secret world of government conspiracies and corporate power that was controlling everything. Like, we looked at the future with rose-colored glasses and could never foresee the down curve that was coming.
The 90s were the last time that I can remember when there were so much hope and so much despair at the same time. It captures the zeitgeist of the time so well. You’ll never read anything like it, and after you read it once, you’ll read it multiple times trying to understand the whole thing.įor my money, if someone asked me what the 90s were like, I would give them this comic. It’s insane at places in the best possible way. It’s beauty and chaos and darkness and pain and love and everything in between. It’s the comic that gave him his reputation for being a drugged-out shaman of the new world. It deals with a lot of stuff that he was into during the 90s and beyond. The Invisibles is Grant Morrison’s magnum opus.
