Monica, that is such bollocks.
You're talking about a small section of volume two (and I think the notion that that can be reduced to a "guns and titsfest" is very, very spurious and definitely open to debate), but extend it to encompass the whole piece. God, talk about generalizing and misrepresentation..... Volume 3 didn't even contain any fucking guns until the siege on Westminster Abbey, and they hardly represented the meat of what was going on - the core of the story. In fact, the invisibles was, amongst other things, concerned with an end to war (an end to the individual and the "other"). And Morrison's such a cynical capitalist......Sheesh.
And I don't think you can talk about Morrison's writing without including Zenith. Right there you have the roots of his "new", condensed style. And Outer Gods, and pop comics, and "we are the forgotten", and fifth dimensional warfare........
