Collect the acclaimed, controversial sci-fi comic "The Invisibles" by Grant Morrison. Follow a secret org battling interdimensional alien gods oppressing humanity. Review: Epic - Epic, brilliant, mind-bending and an all-round outstanding read. There is the time before you read this, and the time after. Review: Massive book, excellent story. - This thing is huge, you could stop small caliber bullets with it. Its a good read too and the Invisibles is basically a lot like the Matrix movies. Doesnt pull any punches either, its really gritty, brutal stuff. If you are looking into getting a huge comic fix thats spiritual, gut wrenching and thought prrovoking, get this and you`ll be very satisfied. Hefty price tag, but considering its just....everything for the invisibles, its probably better value than an alternative as there is just so much there.

REALLY HEAVY, MAN!
SOME BOOK THIS LIKE! Thick as anything, the biggest book which I have ever owned and, just 50 pages in thus far I must say what Mr Spock used to say 'FASCINATING'! 'Tis a work of genius, much subtle and delightful - luv it with only 900 pages to go reading slow.......

complex, funny and great
currently still reading this behemoth! an engrossing comic that invites the reader to engage in pathways of thought that aren't travelled on too often. what at first is jarring and confusing soon becomes immersive and interwoven. the book itself is heavy! it's huge and definitely something you'll only be reading at home.

Complex story depth and Entertaining
I never read the invisibles before buying this collection. I have to say it is a slow read but very enjoyable. What makes it slow is the depth of story and the understanding of the characters. Arguable Grant Morrison's best work.

Too big. Should have bought separately.
The book is just too big to read! You need a crane to handle the thing! A single volume is a nice idea but this is just too big.

Amazing
A heavy, amazing book from the author we all know and love. If you're not a Morrison fan, stay away until you become more familiarized with his work; or dive into this outstanding world. Also, a kudos for the packaging. Best one from TheBookDepository yet.

Like it says in the title, I genuinely do not have the slightest bit of comprehension over what just happened. The final chapter of the story holds the interesting distinction of being the only piece of work I have ever read where I didn't recognise a single line of dialogue. I understood some of the words, just not in the context they were used. The only work of near equal complexity where the 11 issues preceding it that collectively made up Act III of the Invisibles, which this work collects in its entirety. The entire series is a mashup of spy-fiction, conspiracy theories and superhero fiction (it is not explicitly a superhero book, but it shares many attributes like a diverse team of contrasting and costumed personalities and a globetrotting, time-travelling, dimension-crossing storyline with nothing less than the fate of all mankind as its final endpoint.) It also may or may not have been written under the influence of LSD. (I'm just kidding. It totally was.) It was drawn by a vast team of artists ensuring that artistic consistency is a laughable prospect. Despite--no-- because of all this, it is absolutely brilliant. Grant Morrison's inspired lwork is so fascinating to witness that its lunacy entertains instead of frustrating. The varied art team doesn't make it frustrating when an artist who you dislike appears, but rather excites you and leave you wondering who will come around the next issue. I don't have time to go into specifics of the insanity you will encounter if you experience this, so the rest of my review will have to concern itself with the format it was collected in. This omnibus (1,500 pages long) is a fine collection, probably the largest omnibus collection ever. I'm almost certain it won't stay intact for longer than a few years but this is based more off the impressive size of the book and not due to any serious design flaw that I've come across thus far. The pages can become difficult to fully open earlier and later on in the book and one must be careful when shifting it around. Don't even try to read it on anything other than a flat surface, because it will absolutely murder your hands. The cover and slipcase both work nicely, though the lack of a bookmark is unfortunate. Due to the size, I have to make do with a folded piece of A4 paper instead. Weighing up the attributes and disadvantages of the format, my conclusion is this: I you have your heart set on buying the Invisibles I would recommend buying the new Deluxe editions instead. There are four of these, each between 300-500 pages and are more convenient to read and less likely to be damaged than the omnibus. I believe the fourth edition is due to be released in July so there's no need to wait long. If you do buy this omnibus however, it includes a number of extra features. An introduction by musician and Morrison mega-fan Gerard Way, and over 100 pages of extra material ranging from the original series proposal, essays from the individual issues by Morrison himself, and a number of sketches. To my knowledge, these are not available anywhere else so they may be of interest to a dedicated collector. Regardless of the edition, the Invisibles is utterly fascinating. I absolutely recommend it to anyone with an interest in the unusual or counter-cultural side of the world. I would also recommend this book to anyone who ever wondered what an LSD trip feels like, but never tried it themselves. I can't wait to hop back into this story. Perhaps this time I'll understand it.

Though at times complex and surreal, it offers a gripping, unpredictable ride for fans of bold, unconventional comics. It’s a standout in the world of graphic novels, blending exciting adventure with deep, layered world-building.

Gran gran GRAN Omnibus de DC, estupendamente editado, gran encuadernación y tamaño, muy buen papel e impresión, al contrario que la edición de ECC en 5 tomos apestosos,que menuda basura...y además, sale bastante más barato que la mugrienta edición de ECC.

Sétima impressão, de outubro de '22, ainda com o selinho Black Label. A série completa em formato físico e na língua original. É isso.
