A great ending to a fan-fucking-tastic... mind-fucking-bending... conception-fucking-obliterating... acid-fueled rollercoaster of a plain ‘ol balls to the walls old-fashioned, anti-fascist ROMP... fun for the whole family!!! :D... unless of course, they’re Christian... LOL!
No, but in all seriousness, what do you expect... it’s Grant Morrison and it’s The Invisibles... how can it be anything but amazing?!... and of course, it didn’t disappoint!
My one critique or criticism is that, seeing how this was the final issue of the series, it would was gonna go out with a BANG!... and I mean the type of CRAZY BANG that only The Invisibles can pull off... a huge, long extended crazy clustefuck of intensely countercultured weirdness that is trademark to The Invisibles at this point in the game. And I was just a bit disappointed that the ending wasn’t some sort of crazy, harrowing, bullet-flinging, TK-blasting romp through The Archon’s realm or something.
THAT being said, I DID, however really like the way he chose to end it, in the über-meta way that this series pretty much called for. Really dug it, and even though my “action”-wishes weren’t met, it wasn’t enough of a detractor for me to take away any points in the end. I mean... it’s THE FUCKING INVISIBLES!... how could I possibly give it anything less than a 5-star review! This series was all-around fucking awesome... and innovative and ahead of its time even today, 20-30 years after it was first published, let alone back in the 90s-early 00s when it was first put on the shelves!
An absolute must-read for anyone counterculture-minded, or anyone who loves themselves some LSD and some graphic novels! 5-star all the way!!! :D
