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. Mark Russell: Well, it's daunting because it's something that I personally have a tremendous amount of respect for, and I know there's nothing people would less rather read than somebody trying to walk on eggshells around a story or around a property.

The story starts at street level with John DiFool finding the Incal and scales up a few times until it's the ultimate battle between light and darkness with the entire universe at stake. The other books are less important -- "Castaka" is a prequel that takes place before "The Metabarons", and "Weapons of the Metabaron" is a stand alone story that I believe takes place some time prior to "The Incal".
