Reviews

[Victor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lesser and semi-finished Jodorowsky stories blessed with truly impressive art. Diosamante and the shorts have been published in prior U.S. releases (Screaming Planet and Diosamante), but The Saga of Alandor has its first collected appearance in English here.

[Oliver Bateman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was trending toward a 4 rating — middling Jodorowsky, the Saga of Alandor had great art and a good story, Diosamante merely good art… but the short stories with JH Williams and (especially) Jerome Opena (the dreaming of the faith angle is beautifully executed) redeemed the volume. The Ciruelo Cabral short is MTG card art filler. Recommended but only for Jodo completists.

The Saga of Alandor is unreadable, but the rest of the stories are great

[Ricardo · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Saga of Alandor is cat nip for Jodorowsky fans and more than in other stories relies on world building to drive its characters and stories forward. Signature critiques of fanaticism are at their most developed and Jodorowsky presents his most complete prescription for being. Strongly recommend if you crave humanism and faith in the self.

Diosamante while not as complete as Alandor still triumphs as a result of it's art.

[Al Capwned · Rating 3 out of 5]

Diosamante and the short stories are pretty cool but Alandor is probably the worst Jodorowsky comic ever.
