Aniners's Reviews > The Invisibles, Vol. 7: The Invisible Kingdom

Man, what a crazy, out of this world ride. When I first started reading again (which wasn’t that long ago) I was going through the usual titans of the industry like Batman Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, etc. and as I continued my journey I always took more of a liking to the “weird” and non typical superhero books from Vertigo. After reading a handful from that line I had come across The Invisibles. From what I had heard and seen it looked like it was totally up my alley, so I picked up Book 1 from the library a couple days later and….
MAN I HATED IT.

From never reading anything like it prior and not having much experience in this kind of non linear, extremely unique, intellectually difficult, bat shit crazy type of book….I was so lost.
I figured there was no way anyone could follow and willfully enjoy this, it was the worst book I had ever read up to that point.
Cut to a few months later after having more experience in these types of books and Grant Morrisons work in general, I find the whole Invisibles series in a bargain bin, and for whatever reason I was drawn to it. I figured for a deal like this I might aswell give it another shot.

After reading this whole series now I can confidently say, nothing I’ve read has seeped into my mind and changed my own reality like this series has. It went from my most hated read to my most beloved series. From something created in the mid to late 90’s it’s still so in tuned with the world we live in and really opens your eyes and mind to think differently about so many of our normal everyday human occurrences. It’s a kind of series that you can’t really explain to someone, they just have to experience it.

I don’t want to drag this on for much longer but this has been the most unexpected and rewarding discovery in my reading thus far and I’ll always remember it.
