Everybody should read The Invisibles by Grant Morrison
RachelEvil:
The Invisibles is half the reason comics are my favorite entertainment medium.
SeanBateman:
Grant Morrison is a complete badass, and I love him to death.
That said I have read all of The Invisibles at least 4 times, and I still do not completely understand it.
jeph:
It gets pretty nonsensical towards the end. Ironically, I found the Wikipedia article about it to be useful.

Yeah, the second and third to last issues have a lot of unintelligible moments. Partially because one artist jus plain didn't draw what Grant scripted, partially because it was very dense with a lot of stuff that had been implied earlier, but not really stated explicitly. I find the last volume to be nigh-impossible to comprehend without a guide of some sort.
KharBevNor:
I have a feeling that I didn't find the Invisibles quite as crazy and far out as a lot of people. I think that's because I came to it having read Illuminatus! and Magick Without Tears though. There's a good few references/rip-offs, subtle or overt of Illuminatus! in the whole thing. The dolphins spring to mind instantly...
Best bit of the first volume has got to be when Morrison re-works 120 Days of Sodom as '120 Days of Sod-All'. Classic.
