From Rotten.com:

What if every conspiracy theory you ever heard was true?

No, wait, what if every crackpot idea you ever heard, conspiracy or
not, was true?

No, no, wait! What if every idea, period, you ever heard was true?

If you can stretch your brain around that concept, you would probably
enjoy comic book auteur Grant Morrison's epic series, "The
Invisibles."

The Invisibles is a mind-blowing mix of drugs, occultism, UFOs,
voodoo, sexual excess, Witchcraft, sadomasochism, body modification,
movies, government conspiracies, Lovecraftian horror, numerology,
Gnostic cosmologies, anarchy, Mad Science, time travel, superheroes,
Freemasonry, the Apocalypse, plus some stuff that's just plain weird.

Characters appearing in the story include (among others):

* A foul-mouthed messiah from Liverpool.
* A heavily pierced assassin, who moonlights as a horror novelist and ontological terrorist.
* A Brazilian transvestite Shaman.
* John Lennon.
* A clown-faced, red-haired sex goddess.
* A billionaire playboy who may or may not be Bruce Wayne.
* The Marquis de Sade.
* William Butler Yeats.
* Percy and Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein).
* Jesus Christ (sort of).
* Robert Oppenheimer.
* The Roswell aliens.
* A lesbian with an eye patch.
* A rap-star voodoo houngan.
* Princess Di.

The Invisibles is named for the secret society to which our heroes,
such as they are, belong. The comic series was published from 1994 to
2000, with collected editions coming after. Issues of The Invisibles
were kept on the set of The Matrix during filming, a fact which would
be apparent to anyone who's familiar with both.

The story... well, the story is better experienced than summarized,
but it has to do with the nature of the universe and the meaning of
life. There's kind of a substructure that deals with the whole "good
vs. evil" dilemma, but not in the usual way. Religion is
deconstructed, reality is warped, and it's difficult to tell the good
guys from the bad guys. The Apocalypse also makes an appearance.

The Invisibles is also designed to change the reader, so be
forewarned. If you stick with it, by the end you might find that it's
less fiction than it is biography... Your biography.
