Before the Incal #3

We are instantly plunged back into the unique atmosphere of the world of The Incal, as we witness John Difool's search for his identity and his origins, his first meeting with Deepo, and the appearance of many of the series' key characters, such as the Metabaron or Diavaloo.

Κάπως κλισέ πλοκή, με επαναλαμβανόμενα μοτίβα, ανέμπνευστες και προβλέψιμες "εκπλήξεις". Το σχέδιο μοιάζει διεκπεραιωτικό. Οι αναφορές στους "εξαφανισμένους" των λατινοαμερικάνικων δικτατοριών ή στο soylent green βοηθούν την ανανέωση του σασπένς έστω και με "τεχνική υποστήριξη".

Aqui Deepo é o herói na investigação dos bebés das omeoputas desaparecidos.
Vai com o olho robot investigar o interior de um grande Buda onde descobrem 2 cadáveres conservados miraculosamente de 2 santos da terra prima do qual é extraído material genético e percebem que os bebés recém nascidos são injetados com top 33, esse material genético e depois enviados para a maternidade dos aristos.
Mas nesta conspiração todos estão envolvidos, o prez e os corcundas, os robchuis, os tecno tecnos, o supra divinoid , cocalfol, a totalidade do sistema.
Interessante apresentar uma conspiração global paranóica que faz ainda mais sentido neste tipo de sistema futurista depravado e corrupto até à medula

Genius

This series is nearly as wonderful as the original Incal series: the artwork is spectacular and Jodorowsky is a modern visionary

Un plaisir plus grand qu'espéré...

Oh, I do love this

Crazy as it gets, fast-paced and interesting... This is the most brilliant comix I've ever read. Like SaGa, but on the drugs :)

Friends have died, to find the truth...😣

A mystery that has a tragic & disturbing ending. Deepo is amusing. The fool always seems to have Deus Ex Machina on his side.

Both story and art just keep getting better in Before Incal. Janjetov’s line art is more confident and finely detailed and the lush colours get nicer the more he’s involved with them. There’s still a few highly fucked up scenes, Jodo loves to shock but this highly detailed sci-fi thriller would get by just fine without the unnecessary fucked up imagery. The story is solid and a lot more coherent than I expected it to be.

Seria "Przed Incalem" mimo zmiany rysownika, nie odbiega od "właściwego Incala". Podobny klimat i kreska, jedynie sama historia jakby prostsza.
