I just finished re-reading the Invisibles (in almost one reading). Anyone in london who would like to meet up and chat about it?

It's a mighty big tome, innit?

And quite lovely.

Well, I'm not in London, unfortunately but somehow I remembered how to login to this site because I just got the Omnibus myself and re-read it for the first time in 7 years. Well, i haven't actually completely re-read it yet, but in process. I am amazed at how well it has held up, honestly, now that we've all grown up a bit and the first wave of internet paranoia has passed over and through us. The omnibus itself is a thing of wonder, the first time I read it was via stolen PDFs so this is quite a bit nicer....

Re-reading it a 2nd time was good (despite it being after 21 dec 2012).

Being from Brazil was quite hard to read the complete series since it was discontinued over and over again down here... in fact we have never seen the Volume III in portuguese. And back in the days I was young and without mnoney to import anything...

But the Omnibus gave me the oportunity to import one really big piece of work of art!

Just finished the whole thing and.., wow! I wanna read it again!!! So sorry I missed the golden days of this forum...

But I will be here.. reading everything again and again... The Barbelith alreadyc cracked.. we live in a new universe now...

I may re-read it again for the 3rd time. Then technopriests (again) by jodorowsky.

Anyone have any suggestions on what graphic novel i should consider reading after invisibles? It is a tough act to follow.

I finished the omnibus for the first time and I'm currently planning my second reading as soon as I catch up on my Hellblazers. But I have to say that some stuff I did not see it coming, and the ending left me hopeful that some day someone is gonna hand me a blank badge.

I tried to do it before the end of '12 for obvious reasons but I ran out of time. But I have the omnibus, the beautiful one with the glow in the dark slipcover and the absurdly sized spine.

Sometimes I just look at the thing and flip through it, it has a power just as an object alone.
