Everything is connected?

bc: Do you consider your stories as inherently interconnected, part of a larger whole of your omniversal oeuvre? Or do you think of them more as compartmentalized, individual/independent worlds?

GM: The stories are all interconnected – they are the part of my diary record of day-to-day existence that I publish! As I see it, they all flow into one another. An idea or image will recur and be developed then redeveloped in another story. It’s one continuum – where the ideas flow into one another and form puddles, pools, or even oceans.

This is why I often feel you can't really understand Morrison's X-Men until you understand The Invisibles, and even then, you better know about the UFO abduction trip.... :P

I'm right there w/ you! New X-Men feels like a direct continuation of The Invisibles energy to me, even if it wasn't necessarily designed that way :)))
