The Invisibles is one of the top rated comics from Vertigo, and it's written by Grant Morrison, so I had to check it out. This series combines all of Morrison's favorite tropes: magic, psychadelic drugs, age old conspiracies, and his signature weirdness.
The story begins with Dane McGowan, a hoodlum living in Liverpool England. Dane's contempt for authority attracts the attention of two sides of a magical conflict. First, a group of government officials throw him in jail and plan to drain him of his free will. This is until he is rescued by the Invisibles, a group of magic anarchists fighting for unlimited freedom. The first volume of the series has Dane slowly becoming more involved with his saviors.
While the series does a good job of action and dialogue, the plot is extremely disjointed, even by Morrison standards. Combined with the dull artwork, I admit I couldn't fully get into this series. People who are looking for an introduction to Morrison would do better to read Animal man of Arkham Asylum.

Damaged on Arrival
By Chris m. on January 13, 2020
Outer cover ripped upon arrival. Not a huge deal, but kinda disappointing. I would think about returning, but don’t have time as it’s meant to be a gift.
