Oh really, interesting. As I had no idea what was happening in the last issue of the series either, I'm not sure that will help me understand, but I'll give the last issue and that a re-read. I already read the last issue like 10 times and I still came no closer to understanding it.

Since you've already read the whole series, I guess I can just tell you what that short story is about:

According to Morrison himself, "And We're All Policemen" shows how King Mob experiences being absorbed by the supercontext at the end of the series. He talked about it in Anarchy for the Masses: The Disinformation Guide to The Invisibles:

"I wanted to do more of that. That was a big breakthrough for me. I did that story in 1997 when I felt the rave culture was dying, and I was trying to imagine what was coming next, and I pretty much got it right, I was thinking the children of the ecstasy generation have grown up brain damaged, and I was thinking of things getting more punky and nasty, and the humor getting blacker, which sort of worked out. With the flower power decade revisited during the '90s I saw the response to that being a return to the kind of angry, punky... You got things like new metal begin to emerge, and you got black humor like Chris Morris over here in Britain become really popular. I was kind of into that. That was King Mob in the supercontext, in the first moment of engulfment, when he creates his own universe and then dies at the end of the supercontext as the ultimate pop figure. Everyone's taken his picture, everyone on Earth has taken his picture. That actually takes place after the end of issue one even. It's kind of his death experience. I hope mine is similar!"
