Greetings:

I was recently introduced to a very interesting man named GRANT MORRISON --- the comic book creator of DOOM PATROL and THE INVISIBLES. This excellent series has been collected into seven volumes --- each ranging about 200 to 250 pages. This is one long excellent graphic novel.

THE INVISIBLES is like the THEY LIVE of graphic novels --- this is some very intelligent stuff incorporating metaphysics, quantum physics, and ass-kicking intra-dimensional crime fighting . . . an IRRESISTABLE COMBINATION!

Just to give you a taste of what this is --- check this out:

THE INVISIBLES INTRODUCTION . . .

"Every paranoid fantasy, every conspiracy theory, every alleged cover up and government deception, every tabliod crank story you've ever heard . . . IMAGINE IF ALL OF IT WERE TRUE?

THE INVISIBLES . . .

IT happens on the morning of December 22, 2012. On that day all of history impacts with an unimaginable Apocalypse, an Event glimpsed and interpreted by the prophets of every culture --- the biblical Armageddon, Norse Ragnarok, the Aztec Fifth Sun, the Hopi Fourth World, the Breaking of the Seals, the Rapture, Eschaton, Doomsday. It's almost here. Haven't you ever wondered why time appears to be speeding up?

Two opposing forces, mortal enemies since the Beginnning, are making their final preparation to take advantage of the End of Everything. Behind the scenes of every event in history books, THEY have toiled tirelessly in the shadows, manipulating kings and emperors, fomenting wars, toppling nations. On one side, the agents of total Control, servants of ultradimensional entities known as the Archons, the Lost Ones, the Forgotten. These anti-beings haunt the fringes of our nightmares, beyond TIME AND SPACE, waiting for the moment when they can finally demolish the walls of reality and overwhelm our universe. Through their earthly agents, THEY already control the governments of the world. THEY create fear and division. THEY know what's best for us all. THEY define our reality via manipulation of control language and visual images. THEY demand our obedience, our worship, and ultimately, our complete enslavement.

And on the other side stand THE INVISIBLES: an ancient and secret network of freedom fighters dedicated to the liberation and evolution of Humankind. Some work alone --- paranoid agents on the fringes of sanity, stumbling in rags down city streets. Others aid the cause without ever knowing --- rebellious schoolchildren and mutunous wives, workers driven to sabotage the lifeless mechanism of production and consumption.

And others still, like King Mob andhis team, gather in activist cells, using direct action to strike back at the power structures of the Archon conspiracy. Anarchists, witches, outcasts, occult terrorists, ordinary people on the front lines of the Final Battle to decide the Fate of the Soul of Humanity, THEY oppose tyranny and ignorance. THEY refuse to be governed. THEY are humanity's last hope in the face of the ultimate, never ending nightmare.

The countdown has begun . . .

DRAMATIS PERSONAE

BOY - A martial artist and former street cop from Harlem. Knows just how painful turning Invisible can be.

JACK FROST - The new recruit. A violent British punk . . . the future Buddha? He'd still rather be called Dane.

KING MOB - The ultimate conspiracy's ultimate conspirator. An expert in psychic and occult arts, hand-to-hand combat, and Tantric Rituals. Charming as the very Devil.

LORD FANNY - Glorious. Glamorous. Divine. A South American transvestite with the hereditary powers of a shaman.

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

The Choice Is Simple and Final: Timeless Freedom or Eternal Control.

WHO IS GRANT MORRISON, AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

Grant is a cosmic explorer, practicing metaphysician, and a phenomenal comic book and graphic novel artist. Some of the titles he has developed or worked on were:

BATMAN, ARKHAM ASYLUM, DOOM PATROL, and THE INVISIBLES

I first heard this guy give a mesmerizing 45 minute speech on the DISINFORMATION DVD's by Richard Metzger. Morrison talked about how he was able to manifest events in his own life, based on events first drawn in THE INVISIBLES.

It was so fascinating that I felt strongly compelled to order all seven books, and although it is well over 1,000 pages of reading, it is a graphic novel --- and the artwork is stunning.

They arrived today, and I have immediately dipped into this wonderful adventure. If any of you want to check out something really unique and different --- this looks interesting.

One of the anarchists wears a t-shirt that says DON'T TRUST ANYONE UNDER IQ 150 [which I agree with actually. As John Taylor Gatto has irrefutably proven, they have DUMBED this country down.] This has some deep thinking, interesting concepts to ponder and some amazing artwork.

I would dare say that for anyone adventurous enough, this is one not to miss!
