Hey, let's read Grant Morrison's THE INVISIBLES

By Zack Quaintance — So, as anyone who follows me on Twitter has surely seen (or seen, been confused by, and wondered about), I’m perpetually doing nightly reading projects. It’s a simple idea. I take a run that I’ve never read before, and I read it. I do it one issue per night, Monday through Friday, and I invite folks to read or follow along, organizing my posts by a hashtag.

Now, I’m reading The Invisibles, which is a 1990s era Vertigo comic written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by several different artists, including Jill Thompson, Steve Yeowell, Steve Parkhouse, Phil Jimenez, John Stokes, Ivan Reis, Chris Weston, and Frank Quitely, to various degrees. This reading project will start on this coming Monday, September 14, and the hashtag is #TurningInvisibles.

Each night, my posts will go up at around 8:30 p.m. ET, give or take an hour or two either way. I usually do my four favorite panels and an overall thought about the issue on the first Tweet, and then I go on to thread auxiliary thoughts and panels in a chain. If you’re interested in doing this, you can post and use the hashtag, follow along, or come in and out as is convenient for you.

Every Friday, I’ll link the main Tweet from those threads below…
