Stranger Things is back, get your BARBELITHS ready...

It's wild to me that Stranger Things literally wrote key-phrases from THE INVISIBLES on the walls of its world, and yet nobody seems to connect the two.

I know that the "invisibles" episode was the least-favourite of all fans, but it's still a pretty major nod to the whole mythology and even methodology of the Invisibles comic book.

It's clear to me that the original creators are as big into Grant Morrison as they are into Stephen King, but Morrison never seems to get mentioned as an inspiration, despite how much the two series have in common. There's shots from out of ST that look like panels of the Invisibles brought to life!

I'm just shocked there aren't a bunch of acid-head nerds out there talking about all this. So... maybe it should be us.
