Phil Jimenez and Chris Weston are the stars of the giant art team that tackles the first six trades, and while some of the art changes work for the one-shot stories, not all of the art styles blend smoothly. THE INVISIBLES TV SHOW SERIESOne slightly disappointing part of the series is the art, which is all over the place. I also liked seeing the use of what has become a staple of Vertigo series (and even in other comics, now), interlude chapters to tell one shot background stories on characters, that eventually tie into the main story. Overall, my favorite portion is Volume 1, since it sets the bar very high for the later chapters and ties in well even at the end of the series. THE INVISIBLES TV SHOW FULLIf you're willing to go along for the ride and put in the extra effort to follow what is, at times, a very dense work, then you will get a full story with beginning, middle, and end. You meet Morrison's versions of several "real life" pop culture and historical figures along the way, also. The Invisibles has several points in the course of the story when the events will spin in a completely unexpected direction and it can be disorienting to the reader. Some new characters are introduced and the story gets tied up in a neat little package with a mind-blowing final issue. Volume 3 is simply made up of the seventh and final trade, The Invisible Kingdom. As this part of the story wraps up, it also shows a bit of what is to come in Volume 3, both in story content and in a shift to an even more surreal, metaphysical tone than what has come before. Eventually they are reunited and battle the U.S. The team then breaks up for some individual stories. The action shifts from England to the United States, and ups the amount of action considerably, starting with the team battling the U.S. Volume 2 consists of the next three Trades, Bloody Hell in America, Counting to None and Kissing Mister Quimper. However, the Invisibles came first, and it really doesn't matter, since this series goes far beyond anything in the Matrix films. People who have gone to the movies in the last 10 years at this point probably recognize some of those plot points as being amazingly similar to The Matrix, and yes, they are. The Conspiracy captures the leader of the Invisibles, King Mob, and the Invisibles must rescue him with the help of their newest and strongest member, who now goes by the name Jack Frost. In the process, Dane gets told he is potentially the most powerful person on the planet, and that he could possibly be the next Buddha. The story starts quickly and soon he is being recruited by a secret society known as the Invisibles to battle the Conspiracy. We are introduced to Dane McGowan, a young man who is on the wrong side of the law. Volume 1 is made up of the first three Trades, Say You Want A Revolution, Apocalipstick and Entropy in the U.K. THE INVISIBLES TV SHOW MOVIEYou couldn't really read a later volume without having read the others, but the volume breaks make natural breathing points in the series, much like episodes of a TV series or a movie with sequels. The show's first season ran concurrently in first-run syndication as well as on Sci Fi.The series broke up into three separate volumes for its original Vertigo run, and is collected in seven trade paperbacks. This series lasted for two seasons, before being cancelled due to cost issues and internal bickering between the Sci Fi Channel and its then-parent company, USA Networks. The host requires regular doses of "counteragent" to keep him sane and healthy, which is controlled by said government agency. However, the Quicksilver gland was sabotaged at its creation by scientist Arnaud DeFehrn to release a neurotoxin that accumulates in the bloodstream and causes intense pain, followed by antisocial behavior and psychosis. He can consciously release the Quicksilver, which then flakes off and disintegrates. The substance quickly coats his skin, hair, nails and clothes and renders him invisible. The gland allows Fawkes to secrete a light-bending substance called "Quicksilver" from his pores and follicles. The plot revolves around Darien Fawkes, a thief facing life imprisonment who was recruited by a low-rent spy organization and given the power of invisibility via implantation of a special "Quicksilver gland" in his head. Somewhat more successful than previous television series involving invisible secret agents, it aired from Jto February 1, 2002, lasting two seasons. The Invisible Man is a Sci-Fi American television series starring Vincent Ventresca, Paul Ben-Victor, Eddie Jones, Shannon Kenny and Michael McCafferty.
