Incal, The: by Alexandro Jodorowsky - Moebius

Product Information

Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Argentinian artist Juan Giménez, The Metabarons chronicles the fascinating dynasty of the ultimate warrior. This collection introduces the history of the Metabarons and reveals the origins of their deep-seated principles, their vast wealth, their cybernetic implants, and their most brutal custom: that the only way for a son to become the next Metabaron is to slay his own father in mortal combat. Follow generations of Metabarons as they struggle to overcome the forces amassed against them in a galaxy corrupted by greed, power, and terror. The universe is split into two galaxies, a human (with 22,000 planets), and a Berg (featherless birdlike aliens), and the story is set on four planets in the human galaxy: Ter21, Techno-Gea, Aquaend, and the Golden Planet. [1] In 2014, Humanoids released 7.9 x 10.8" hardcover trade collection of The Incal and its sequels, After the Incal and Final Incal, in one complete collection called Final Incal, as a 9.5 x 12.5" deluxe slipcase hardcover, as well limited and numbered edition 12 x 16" coffee table format. [9] In 2015 they released a 7.9 x 10.8" hardcover trade edition, but without After the Incal. [32] All four volumes were digitally released by Humanoids Publishing in 2014. Regarding the coloring, when Isabelle Beaumenay-Joannet was working in the 3rd and 4th issue, she didn't receive many instructions from Moebius once she had done her first issue. According to Isabelle, Moebius didn't talk about colors, he discribed things in terms of enviroment (he once talked about "vaginal enviroments"), light and atmosphere, like a filmmaker. contraction of condominium and apartment) was invented by him, although The Incal also has its own share of original vocabulary, such as “kublars” and

Jean Giraud's (also known as Moebius) artwork and Yves Chaland's colouring from The Incal were well praised. Jodorowsky initially didn't have a script, but recounted and mimed the ideas to Moebius who sketched the scenario, recorded their conversation on tape, and they jointly altered the plot. [5] Jon Evans considered resemblance to the De Stijl school of art inspired by artists like Piet Mondrian and Vilmos Huszár. [4] I think that seeing the documentary Jodorowski's Dune helped prepare me for this book, since I knew what I was getting into. In a lot of ways, The Incal does what Jodorowski wasn't able to do with his film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel.There are also references to the Rebis, the end product of the alchemical Great Work. According to the legend, after "one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body". Indeed, in The Incal the Seven Companions first go through the "putrefaction" of the garbage dump in Center Earth and then they must go through a process of purification to enter the Interior Sun, where Solune becomes the "pefect androgyne". Subspace or Hyperspace: Some Berg ships are mentioned leaving hyperspace early on but afterwards subspace is mentioned as the method of Faster-Than-Light Travel. Eternal Recurrence: The comic ends with John in a new universe falling from Suicide Alley like he did in the beginning. It was implied he lived through several versions of his life before. Last of His Kind: One of the people in line to be roboticised says they hope their Arcturan cat gets converted as it's the last in the galaxy.

John bir sayfa boyunca bir güzel dayak yedikten sonra saldırganları tarafından İntihar Geçidi denen bir yerden aşağı atılıyor. Ama kısmen şansı kısmen de kaypaklığı sayesinde uçurumdan hallice bu geçidin dibindeki asit gölüne çakılmaktan son anda kurtuluyor. Ardından hızla gelişen olaylar sonrasında kendini android polis birliği Robaynasızlar tarafından yakalanıp sorguya çekilirken buluyor. Ve başlıyor o noktaya gelince kadar başından geçenleri anlatmaya… Biz de böylece konuk olduğumuz bu depresif dünya hakkında daha fazla şey öğrenme fırsatı yakalıyoruz: yerüstü konisinde yaşayan, haleli aristokratlar; yeraltına mahkûm edilmiş mutantlar; papağana benzeyen, gerçekliklerinden şüphe duyulan uzaylı Bergler; kurt kafasına ve insan bedenine sahip kızıl halka ahalisi; beton binalara sıkışıp kalan ve bütün gün izledikleri “3D televizyonlar” tarafından beyinleri yıkanan orta sınıf insanlar… diye gidiyor. Bunlar sadece ilk birkaç sayfa boyunca karşılaştığımız ırklar ve kavramlar.

The Incal ( L'Incal) is a sci-fi comic series by writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Mœbius and is the center-piece of the former's Metabarons Universe. The project was born out of, and recycled many concepts from, the two's failed attempt to make a film adaption of Dune. Despite Jodorowsky having every major event of the comic planned out beforehand, and the series only being 6 volumes long, it took 8 years to complete. So I just approach it from the idea that I'm going to try to honor it by doing it with my own soul or viewing it with my own sense of yearning that I think Jodo and Mœbius approached the original with. And that means obviously taking some liberties with the story and doing something that's different from the original, but also something that I think sits adjacent to the original universe. Jodorowsky: Great concepts, but has the biggest, dumbest lead foot when it comes to execution. At the very least, can someone call a cease-fire to his out of control use of exclamation points? If you expect character development, coherent plot, robust and convincing dialogue, and any respect for subtlety at all, apply elsewhere. In fairness to Jodo - his films are amazing when any pretense of these elements of storytelling are bypassed completely. Surreal audiovisual experiences. But when you have something that resembles a plot, and you have enticing character concepts, and you have constant dialogue, and you have to spend more than two hours with it, it clearly kind of falls apart here.

The Incal isn’t a book you just read. It’s a science fiction book you experience. A true classic in every sense of the world. It’s ingenious. And it’s bonkers!... Humanoids will announce additional partnerships, pertaining to The Incal‘s distribution and release, at a later date. Waititi and Jodorowsky tease the film in the video above. Russell: The important thing is to feel like you've come to a good segue point, and the Psychoverse serves a different purpose than the Matterverse. The Psychoverse is the realm of commentary and judgment on what's happening in the Matterverse. I felt like when something had happened in the Matterverse that then either made the point or rebutted the point of the Psycho-nuns and the Psychoverse, then I would transfer there and have their response. I Need a Freaking Drink: When riding the giant rats, John says he wants a hit bath and a tall glass of whiskey. No lo recomendaría a la ligera, ya que no es un cómic al uso. Pero si te gusta la ciencia ficción, los cómics (aunque en este caso es europeo) y quieres probar algo diferente, puedes probar con esto, aunque siempre negaré haberlo recomendado 😂

Each issue is supposed to be paired with its double (the first one with the second one, the third one with the fourth one, and the fifth with the sixth one), mirrorring the way in which the six main characters are paired with each other in the Doorway of Transfirguration, with Solune serving as the accumulation of all of them. Nrama: Are there areas of the Incal universe or Psychoverse that you would like to revisit someday and expand upon? There are examples of such influential works that succeed so well at inspiring further works, that they get lost in the shuffle. Obscurity is the price of inspiration. “The Incal” by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius (a.k.a. Jean Giraud) is precisely this kind of work. In the introduction to the 2014 hardcover edition, acclaimed US comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis specifically urges readers to not imitate the work. Reading into the story itself, it soon becomes not too hard to see many ideas and elements that other creations have imitated. Eserle ilgili şahsi bir sıkıntım da karakterlerin, özellikle de John’un hiç gelişme göstermemesi oldu. Onca mucizeye şahit olduktan ve evrenin kaderini belirleyen bir çok işe imza attıktan sonra bile durmadan şikayet etmeye, ap The film did have the advantage of some good music, so I chose to listen to a special mix while I skated through this funhouse:
