La Secte Des Techno évèques

The Technopriests #5

by Alejandro Jodorowsky (Contributor), Zoran Janjetov, Fred Beltran

The cosmic adventures of a young boy on his path to ridding the galaxy of an insidious technological plague. After the Greek tragedy of The Metabarons, Alexandro Jodorowsky comes back to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of Moses and set on a galactic scale. To top it off, the characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov ( Before The Incal ), who finds in Jodorowsky his perfect match. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.

Reviews

[Stephen Theaker · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the present, a woman becomes pregnant with a comet's baby, while in the past the supreme technopriest takes on a space vampire creature that has infected the techno-bishops, and his mum gets stranded on a new planet. Beautiful nonsense.

T�chant, tel un Pal�o-Mo�se, de conduire mes 500 000 jeunes pantechnos vers la Galaxie Promise, je ne cessai de pressentir de grands dangers, sans soup�onner que le plus acharn� des ennemis pouvait avoir l'air inoffensif. Une seule �tincelle peut d�truire une for�t. Le mal le plus odieux peut tenir dans une graine et planter ses racines dans l'�tre le plus pur. Une com�te perfora le ventre de la plus jeune et de la plus vuln�rable d'entre nous et grossit jusqu'� devenir une abomination br�lante dont elle allait accoucher. Je dus transformer mon corps en une couverture de super-amiante pour prot�ger mes disciples de sa chaleur mortelle... Moi, Albino, � pr�sent devenu Supr�me Technop�re, je peux raconter mon histoire...
