The Invisibles

This brilliant series beautifully weaves together various spiritual myths, popular culture, science fiction and contemporary metafictional literary structure into a wild, dense, strange narrative jambalaya. It takes a lot of energy and focus to read but it's well worth the effort.

Morrison packs a LOT of ideas into each issue– perhaps, sometimes, too many ideas– and as a result, they aren't quite as tightly written as Moore's “Watchmen.” But, you know, I'd imagine alien abductions in Kathmandu are pretty complicated experiences...

The Barbelith website is an essential companion guide, and it might be helpful to watch Morrison speak about his experience writing the series after you've finished to help you parse it all out.
