I'm going to try and be literal, here.
"What does the line "Now it's a rescue mission" mean? Rescuing what?"
Rescuing everyone, taking them into the supercontext.
"Jack gets the tip of one of his finger cut off by Orlando, yet a few issues later the tip's back, fully healed?"
Jack, like Wolverine, has incredible healing powers, and adamantium bones.
"What is the point of the Invisibles heading back to Dulce in Black Science 2? They don't even get the magic mirror back..."
It reflects the start of the volume, and bookends the American adventure.
"Who wrote Edith the note saying "It's time"? Time for what I wonder?"
Time for her death. It's written by Tom.
"When Miles talks to Col. Friday in a dream, what does he mean about the bogey-lady or Myra?"
Myra Hindley, who at the time the comics were being published monthly, was back in the news because of a portrait of her in the Sensation exhibition. If you don't know who she is, Google her name.
"Why does he quote the line "I am not the god of your fathers" (like Jesus said to Dane)?"
Perhaps it's a clue.
"Mason says he had his alien encounter when he was nine, at July 1981. But when Robin meets him in 2008 he's 45 years old. If he had the alien encounter in '81, shouldn't he be about 36?"
Grant can't count.
"Mason tells KM that Robin told him he'd control the military complex in 2012. Yet in the final issue we hear of Mason's death. What happened to him?"
We don't know. Maybe he faked his death. Maybe he was wrong.
"Why'd Mason do so little in Volume 3? Volume 2 made him seem like an important character pulling the strings on both sides, but in Vol. 3 he barely even appears."
Perhaps you believed the myth of the powerful American rich man too much. Perhaps he didn't have any reason to be in Volume 3 that much.
"Quimper tells the Chessman "You were there. Violation". He was where?"
At the party where Fanny got raped; Quimper was the alien hanging on the wall, as far as I can remember. Or maybe he means the Outer Church, where... no, never mind.
"The chessman tells Dane that Quimper said "Once my name was John". I thought Quimper was a spirit? And John A'Dreams is in Volume 3 as a human. What was Quimper talking about? And what is the signifigance in Robin wanting to name her baby Quimper?"
Robin's baby is misdirection and a personal reference for Grant. Quimper was John; note the outfit both of them wore.
"Is the Hand of Glory Queen Mab's hand? Miles does cut it off..."
Perhaps.
"The hand vanished in 1959. Vanished where though? and who is this cult? Was Miles a member of it?"
Maybe this isn't important.
"How is Tom O'Bedlam's body still in the tunnel? Shouldn't it have decomposed by now?"
Time does funny things around Tom.
"What does Flint mean when he says "John A'Dreams is a complex structure"?"
Flint was Quimper was John. The "complex structure" refers to the fictionsuit nature of all three, which Flint was becoming aware of.
"What does Flint mean when he talks about himself being a fiction suit for experiencing "The Invisibles"?"
That's one of the core ideas in the series.
"Why on earth does Miles think the Moonchild's always been one of the Invisibles?"
Because he's a paranoid mess by this point.
"Why does Miles think Helga is the queen Archon when he wasn't decieved by her earlier? And why does he kill himself? Was he working for the Invisibles the whole time? Or has he just snapped by this point?"
The latter.
"Why does Dane want to start a new cell if "The war is over"?"
Because there's still work to be done.
"What does the harlequin mean when it says "Don't think of Midwives"?"
The universe is being born into the supercontext.
"Just how does Dane eat the Rex Mundi?"
Magic.
"What does John A'Dreams mean by "Flint was just a suit"?"
Fiction suit.
"How come when Robin returns in the future she's not in her time suit?"
She left the suit in the supercontext.
"Why are the Invisibles so concerned with saving humanity in 1999 when humans (in human form at least) will only be around for another 12 years or so (before they evolutionize). Sure, if the Conspiracy had won, that would have sucked, but it wouldn't of stopped the supercontext from emerging Dec. 22, 2012..."
How do you know? |
