And, sadly, I can see why Jodorowsky and Ladronn decided to start entirely afresh rather than just pick up at episode two, launching The Final Incal series and leaving the After The Incal series as a mere collector’s curio.Īs to the positives, Moebius clearly kept a lid on Jodorowsky’s bonkers storytelling. I can see why Moebius gave up after the first volume. Reuniting after a lengthy period, during which various spin-offs were launched by Jodorowsky with other artists, one would have thought that this new series would be full of passion and vigour.

If someone decides to read the saga, this number can be perfectly ignored and continue with Final Incal, without any problem.Ĭurrently available on Kindle Unlimited, this is the US edition of the last and unfinished collaboration between Jodorowsky and Moebius in the universe of the Incal, originally published in France. Although it has interesting ideas, the fact of being unfinished is a great downer, that's why the low grade. But as the pages turn, it feels like nothing new, and when you finish reading this issue, there's nothing more, leaving it completely unfinished. The story begins exactly where The Incal ended, to give way to a new adventure. But for some reason that is not entirely clear (if Moebius was sick, if Jodorowsky became stubborn, who knows what it was.) this closure remains a false step. In order to finish the saga, the artist returns to complete the original team. Si alguien decide leer la saga, este número se puede obviar perfectamente y seguir con Final Incal, sin ningún problema.Īfter the work The Incal, Jodorowsky expanded the world with the prequel Before the Incal in this case without the Moebius illustrations. Si bien tiene ideas interesantes, el hecho de quedar a medias es un gran bajón, por eso la nota baja.

Pero según pasan las hojas, da la sensación de no ser nada nuevo, y cuando acabas la lectura de este número, no hay más, con lo que queda completamente inconcluso. La historia inicia exactamente donde acababa El Incal, para dar paso a una nueva aventura. Pero por algún motivo que no está del todo claro (que si enfermedad de Moebius, que si Jodorowsky se puso cabezota, que si a saber que fue.) este cierre queda como un paso en falso. Para hacer el cierre de la saga vuelve el artista para completar el equipo original. Tras la obra El Incal, Jodorowsky amplió el mundo con la precuela Antes del Incal en ese caso sin la ilustración de Moebius.
