The Metabarons Vol.2: Aghnar & Oda (2)

Description

A grand scale space opera about family, sacrifice, and survival told within an immense universe, both in scope and originality. A must-read cult spin-off of "The Incal," by Moebius and Jodorowsky, centering around the fascinating lineage of the ultimate warrior. This collection introduces the Metabaron’s bloodline and reveals the origins of their deep-seated principles. Find out the source of the family’s vast wealth, learn why every Metabaron has cybernetic implants, and why the only way to become the next Metabaron is for him to defeat his own father in a mortal combat. Follow each successive generation as it struggles to overcome the forces amassed against it in a galaxy corrupted by greed, power, and terror. A true classic in the pantheon of graphic storytelling and Science Fiction as a whole. Review: stellar - Art on this series is kinda w.e but the story is soooo goood it doesn't really matter that you miss moebius's heavy metal and incal style characters/art. And sometimes the aesthetic is close enough maybe you can pretend its moebius not caring anymore... But well worth reading for fans of Air Tight Garage meets El topo! Review: Dark and very good. - Jorodowski and Gimenez both have very wicked and wonderful minds. Both the artist and the writer create a wonderful and creative new world. Dark and sharp in most places, bloody, moving, always interesting. Their characters, the members of the caste of the ultimate warriors, think and behave in ways no ordinary humans would consider, not even in their wildest dreams. Metabarons are science fiction and space opera, a tale about a family and about an evolution of an idea. One of the best and most memorable graphic novels in the genre. [the uncensored versions of these series contain scenes and ideas of graphic violence not suitable for everybody]
