The Invisibles, Volume 1: Say You Want a Revolution by Grant MorrisonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Invisibles: Say You Want a Revolution is the first volume in The Invisibles series of graphic novels. It's about time travelers that can make themselves invisible and go around causing revolutions (like the French revolution) and their insectoid enemies.
It contains real-world magic and mysticism and is extremely violent. This is not for devout Christians or the squeamish!
The part where John Lennon is invoked as a god using traditional ceremonial magic methods was really cool. The advice he gave was that a street thug boy would "have to be put through the mill." This boy is recruited for The Invisibles and given the code name Jack Frost. He gets the tip of his finger cut off, which, considering everything that happens in the graphic novel, isn't really so bad. In then end, he wants to quit the group, but you just know that won't be possible.
Overall, great fun! On to the next volume . . .
