Product Description
Product Description
The Invisibles are back; wired, whacked-out and well-tooled up...in another explosion of counter-culture subversion and all-out anarchy. Every paranoid fantasy, every cranked up conspiracy theory, it's all here, it's all true...and it's the end of the world as we know it. Once more, Grant Morrison meshes fantasy and reality into a stew of radical, out-there storytelling, where anarchic, dimension-hopping freedom fighters clash with creatures whose gods are total control and unthinking obedience. Shamans, psychedelia, mind-control, the AIDS cure, madness, love and death. Trust nobody, believe everything, the real truth is in here! Warning: Recommended for older readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Frighteningly good.,
By Matthew Atreides (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Invisibles, The: Bloody Hell in America VOL 04 (Paperback)
Morrison is arguably the best comics scribe around today, and thus far Invisibles is probably (still) his masterpiece. Bloody Hell In America continues in the same vein as the previous story arcs, though this chapter is far more violent and "action packed" than anything we've seen before (as the title implies). These stories were of course written squarely in the Tarantino Era. In the midst of some blood-soaked & carnage-filled pages, even King Mob tells Jolly Roger that he is "beginning to question the already dubious morality of [his] actions". To call the violence "gratuitous" is missing the point. And I wouldn't call this a good jumping-on point. If you're going to read Invisibles, start at the beginning.

Americanized Action,
By Kevin RE Watts (Welland, On.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Invisibles, The: Bloody Hell in America VOL 04 (Paperback)
The Invisibles' fourth volume begins their second major storyline in America, doing American things with American people. Grant Morrison had just begun to write the JLA during this volume, and it affected the Invisibles to a major extent. The story becomes simpler; there are a ton of gun fights and the whole tone of the series changes. Morrison claims he did this on purpose, but it's unclear as to why he did it. Regardless, Phil Jimenez really compliments the story's general feel, very Perez influenced and detailed, very American. A necessary volume if you're reading the Invisibles and a very good starting point if you haven't started.

Short but Sweet,
By Felixpath (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Invisibles, The: Bloody Hell in America VOL 04 (Paperback)
"Bloody Hell in America" kicks off volume 2 of Grant Morrison's punk/conspiracy brainchild, which began with "Say You Want a Revolution," "Apocalipstick," and "Entropy in the UK." A year has passed, and our oddball heroes have spent it recuperating in America after the harrowing rescue of their leader, King Mob. Now, rested and refreshed, they're ready to spring back into action with a gripping attack on a top-secret military base. Arrayed against them are gun-toting goons and desert poltergeists, not to mention the incredibly creepy Mr. Quimper. Several startling revelations follow, and...well, let's just say that the US military recovered a lot more at Roswell than everyone thinks they did.The one major flaw of this tome is its length; it only contains four issues, as opposed to the seven or eight of the other "Invisibles" volumes. Also, there is no continuation of the intriguing "Division 6" plotline that ended volume one, and no new insights on Jack Frost's bizarre psychology or the mysterious entity known as Barbelith. I can only hope that the answers lie in the final three volumes, which I have yet to get my paws on. "Bloody Hell in America" is a little on the thin side, but it's a good book to start with if you're new to the Invisibles and can't get "Say You Want a Revolution." Needless to say, fans of the series can't afford to miss it.
