The Metabarons: The Complete Second Cycle

by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Jerry Frissen, Niko Henrichon (artist)

The must-read spin-off of best selling Sci-Fi masterpiece The Incal continues. This edition collects the entire four volume series of The Metabaron. 2 VOLUMES RELEASED - INDEPENDENT STORIES. The Techno Empire’s cruel reign and boundless ambition have the universe in a chokehold, but one obstacle remains before The Metabaron. The Metabaron once single-handedly brought the Techno-Techno Empire to its knees. In the chaos that followed, however, a new regime has taken hold, one that has seized control of the rare and vital fuel for intergalactic travel known as epiphyte. As the Metabaron launches a counter-offensive, the Empire will send its most feared soldiers to defend the power they have amassed, even to the doors of the Metabunker itself. To make matters even more dire, the Metabaron’s less than honorable son seeks to usurp the power of the father who abandoned him. Can the Metabaron withstand the many challenges before him and save the universe once more? THE BOOK : This edition collects the entire four volume collection of THE METABARON in one book for the first time. Born on the pages of Mœbius and Jodorowsky’s legendary The Incal, the mighty Metabaron has been starring in his own spinoff stories since 1992. Now, The Metabaron returns as a collaboration between Jodorowsky and Jerry Frissen (Fire of Theseus, The Zombies That Ate the World), exhibiting the work of an all-star lineup of international Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon, and Pete Woods.

Reviews

The art and wildness of the plot are something to behold, but the one-dimensional female characters really make you wonder what the writer thinks of women - give these relationships some time to cook dude.

I like the drama and world lore, but found myself missing the art style of the original cycle. Also - if the first one was a Jodorowsky's universe Dune (and yes, I am well aware he adapted Dune to the screeen), then this one is Jodorowsky's Pandora.

Uma saga fantástica! Ao nível dos autores e do Incal que li nos anos 80.
Desenho e argumento implacáveis.
