As funny & irreverant as Ellis, Ennis & Morrison (and as complex and confusing to the not-paying-too-much-attention reader as Morrison's The Invisibles). An awesomely satisfying and refreshing read - makes it feel like I'm being treated like a king by the authors.

Fantastic fun Fraction & Bà have with sci-fi and spy tropes - mixing the weird of corporate love of PowerPoint, fourth-wall asides and spoilers, and irreverent writing that immediately deflates the pent-up bullshit pomposity or stiltedness that has characterised most comics writing to date. Fraction's asides are the hidden super-gem for me.

Second time through this book was much more enjoyable - I took copious notes along the way (which I'll share as spoilers), though I feel like to get a true appreciation of the intricacies of Luxuria I'd need one of those X-Files walls of pictures, post-its, string and thumbtacks. If it didn't make me look like the lunatic I am...

Here are my plot notes because I can never remember who when and what, when I'm reading later books:
