I suppose. It's also a reference to Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius books.

Oooh a fellow Moorcock fan. But I've to still read anything Jerry Cornelius. I admit I limited myself reading only his sword & sorcery stuffs and some his other fantasies (like Von Bek, Dancers, Blood etc...).

I gotta read his stuff. I like a lot of what he influenced (the work of Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Bryan Talbot, and Kentaro Miura).

Yeah, I never got to dechiper what were they all about.
Also, are the Outer Church just the Invisibles themselves?
I'll probably need to read it all for a third time.

I love DP but the latter third isn't nearly as strong. Invisibles dips at the end of the second volume but the last 12 issues are really fucking good.

Two warring groups, one order (bad) and the other chaos (good) fighting to control the 21st century. Order side has Lovecraftian horrors on their side who will reality warp earth into hell if they win and the chaos salide has a bratty punk kid as the messiah who will save humanity.

Jfc fucked up the spoiler tag
The Harliquinade/Invisible College/Outer Church are all the same thing, it's humanity on the other side of the supercontext. They exist to ready humanity for the translation over: so people need huggy hippy aliens, some people need to undergo a painful hardship, etc. Miles was fucked up because he got to the fucked up Cthulhu aliens and just assumed that was it, basically sticking himself in the "chapel perilous" part of initiation. John Adreams explains it all to Jack Frost at the ritual in the penultimate ritual.

I like weird stuff. I caught glimpses of Doom Patrol pages before and it looked nice and surreal. My mistake, however, was reading all these other weird Morrison comics before ever actually touching Doom Patrol. When finally reading it, it just seemed repetitive, except for a few stories like the Crazy Jane rescue. They fight bad guys with objects for heads that talk funny and have strange motives that threaten to doom the planet. They somehow survive each encounter despite being out of their league. This is how it went over and over. I hated seeing a lot of interesting concepts referenced and quickly discarded. I prefer his other weird stuff, even if it does some of the same things.

I have the same exact same problem with Doom Patrol, for how random the subject material was meant to be the plot was extremely formulaic.
