26 years ago a comic that was equal parts CSPAM, 4chan, wierd Twitter and Shakespeare emerged. Was it prescient? Was it cringe? Each day we read an issue and post about it itt https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Invisibles-1994 today we read issue 1 and you post whatever dumb poo poo about it you want

Morrison clearly sees time-vs-length differently because it's insane how much happens in that first issue compared to every other comic I've ever read.

It's wierd how differently these panels hit now



because today the idea of forced sociological conformity being a goal of these sinister forces doesn't quite ring true but the reconcilitation to being a cog in the status quo definitely does.

Really like that our intro to Robin is her bitching about tarot



and they make it super obvious but this is such a great Dane moment, that he fucks up the expected order just by being there and existing, legit think theres a metaphor for trans people in those panels



next issue is
