Incal

The art isn't good enough to justify continuing with such a boring story.
adventurous fast-paced

This was one of the weirdest books I have ever read, and not necessarily in a good way. John Difool (because he is the fool, get it?), the main character of The Incal is the most reluctant (anti-)hero ever, and gets swept up from one fever dream of an adventure to the next. This whole universe with its mythology seems to be based on rituals which are "impregnations" as it's referred to in the book. I mean, come on, seriously?

The only reasons why I'm giving this one 3 whole stars are the art and the elements of the Techno-Future. The ending also made more sense than I thought it was going to, so yeah... I'm still not completely sure what the hell I just read.

They should have won their case against Fifth Element. Its zany sci fi of the toppest tier. 

Hadn’t got a clue what was happening in one chapter. Just seemed really random

Just wasn’t feeling it at the moment and needed to return to library.

Borderline incomprehensible except for the misogyny. I liked the art and holy nonbinary ppl tho.

Been a while since I read a little Moebius. Excellent! Wonderful! A thoroughly enjoyable experience. He captured Jodoworsky's story in his usual superb manner. And, hey!, the story itself did justice to the pictures. Everything a graphic novel should be.
