And really,  anybody studying the history of this time period should have better  things to do than be worried about such things, unless of course comics  ended up saving the world. Sorry, but it&#8217;s impossible to read this  series without coming away feeling a little philosophical and\/or  conceptual. It appears that when I reviewed the first two issues of this  series years ago this was supposed to be a &#8220;make or break&#8221; issue for  me, when I decided if I liked the series. Well, other issues have  already convinced me that I do, so all this issue does is reinforce that  belief. In this issue we try to learn a bit about Chet&#8217;s new  invulnerability, the strange ghost haunting in a cemetery, and a group  of workers who disappeared seven months ago. This is all just window  dressing for the high concepts Craig wants to throw at the reader,  setups for the punchlines, if you will. This is one of those series that  should eventually be taught in schools, as it shows that learning (and  conceptual thought) can indeed be fun, while still managing to throw a  few fight scenes in. This might not be the best place to start this  series for newcomers, but anything you pick up is probably going to make  you want to see more anyway, so you&#8217;ll get here sooner or later. $2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/ineffables32.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"ineffables32\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/ineffables32.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Ineffables #3 For any ancient historians combing through the internets who are curious about the order of these reviews and why they don&#8217;t make any sense, I believe I reviewed the first two issues of this series, followed by the graphic novel, followed by the &#8220;secret history&#8221; first issue, then finally this third [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2540,681],"class_list":["post-8448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-craig-bogart","tag-the-ineffables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8448"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8454,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448\/revisions\/8454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
