Starving and homeless on the streets of Maidstone, Maia finds refuge with a charitable stranger. But will she be betrayed when he discovers her identity? After the chaos last issue, will reporter Croger Babb finally catch a break?
An absorbing, gritty look at the secret history of a world as it's crumbling. I was lucky enough to purchase the first three issues of this series at the San Diego Comic-Con. You should chase down this series while it's still new, because this will be something people talk about. Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review
Invisible Republic #4 is a continuing tale of excellent reading. It never falters like the previous chapters at all. It is time to rethink what we really want and desire as a human species in our dream of advancing ourselves beyond our primary home, planet Earth. Read Full Review
The next big question is why Arthur McBride was able to attract so many supporters, apart from the general unpopularity of the military government that ruled at the time. Nobody inspires a revolution and then manages to tame the forces he kicked up for 42 years without some kind of inspirational charisma. One panel shows Maia marching in a crowd of McBride supporters, which suggests that something lured her back to Arthur's side. Perhaps in the time that they were apart, Arthur has learned how to lead people. Read Full Review
While the prevailing mystery surrounding Invisible Republic remains interesting, the book is at its best when it focuses on the world and how it shapes its characters. Issue #4 gives us ample doses of both as Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko open their narrative substantially following last issue's more contained structure. Read Full Review
A strong start but it fails to keep up the pace towards the end. Nice art though. Read Full Review
Invisible Republic #4 is the weakest issue yet but far from a failure. Characters and plot threads dont advance much this issue and advances that do happen couldve been done in significantly less pages. That being said the high quality visuals and dialogue, especially for Babb, elevate Invisible Republic above the norm. Read Full Review
I still like this series, it's just moving really slow and each issue individually struggles to shine on it's own merits; I think this will read well as a trade.
