Incal, The: by Alexandro Jodorowsky - Moebius

Product Information

There was however an Italian-style one based on Final Incal, but it was only available as a promotional item at Comic-con 2014. The Incal is then sought by many factions: the Bergs; the corrupt government of the great pit-city; the rebel group Amok (led by Tanatah); and the Church of Industrial Saints, commonly referred to as the Techno-Technos or the Technopriests, a sinister technocratic cult which worships the Dark Incal.

In December 2010, Humanoids released a limited edition oversized hardcover edition of The Incal, with 750 copies printed. Solune, as a "perfect androgyne" also representes the two sexes, the two faces of reality, spirit and matter, which seems to give him a superior power. Fusion Dance: The Incal let's the ugly John absorb the other incarnations, making him smarter, faster and stronger. Jean Giraud's (also known as Moebius) artwork and Yves Chaland's colouring from The Incal were well praised. And I know I've done a bunch of conventions since I've been able to talk about The Incal, and some people are all excited and some people just stare.This naturally makes Difool the target of multiple interplanetary factions that seek to use the artifact's powers for their own goals, not the least of which include the Incal itself. Reading into the story itself, it soon becomes not too hard to see many ideas and elements that other creations have imitated. Moebius’ designs have been cited as influencing highly successful Hollywood motion pictures such as “Blade Runner”, “The Matrix” and the “Star Wars” prequels.

Jodorowsky has written plenty of science-fiction that is not in the "Jodoverse", but only these four titles (The Incal, Metabarons, Technopriests and Megalex) are considered part of the Jodoverse. By the end of the primary story in 1988, Difool’s journey takes him across two galaxies and results in the reshaping of the entire universe. It starts in medias res with Difool thrown from the Suicide Alley to the great acid lake below by a masked group, luckily saved by a police cruiser. Making the outlandish premise of the Psychoverse somehow sync up with the original Incal at the end was something I was always very nervous about.It serves as the foundation of the “Jodoverse,” which encompasses bestselling comic book series including The Metabarons and Megalex, and may be further explored by the company via additional films at a later date. In regards to the other books, the Metabarons takes place before the Incal books, but I would read it anytime after reading the original Incal series since that's where we're first introduced to the Metabaron. The Incal ( / ˈ ɪ ŋ k əl/; French: L'Incal) is a French graphic novel series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and originally illustrated by Jean Giraud.

Villainous Harlequin: Diavaloo is dressed and painted to be more like a clown but the story isn't long enough for him to be any more than Kent Brockman News. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Happens to Difool and Luz at the end of Final Incal, as they're taken by the Light and Dark Incal to "help spread love throughout the universe. Echoes of the influential comic can be seen in films such as Blade Runner (1982), The Fifth Element (1997) and The Matrix (1999). I was stunned to be given the opportunity to bring his iconic characters to life and I am grateful to Alejandro, Fabrice and everyone at Humanoids for trusting me to do so,” Waititi commented in a statement to THR.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. While usually artists like Albert Uderzo (Astérix) illustrate a couple of pages a week, Moebius had a particular schedule: he did one page per day. While I didn't like this one quite as much as World of Edena, I'll be tracking down more of Humanoids' Moebius titles some time soon. After making his mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Taika Waititi is diving into a new comic book world.
