Topic: The Incal


  
  The Incal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Incal is sought by many factions: the aliens; the government of the great pit-city; the rebel group Amok; and the Church of Industrial Saints (commonly referred to as the Techno-Technos or the Technopriests), a technocratic cult which worships the Dark Incal.
All of the characters in The Incal are based upon Tarot cards - for example, John Difool is obviously based upon The Fool with his name being a pun upon "John, the Fool".
The Incal was the first comic set in what became the Jodoverse, also known as the Metabarons Universe.

The Incal does stand out as something very different, however, with some imaginative and twisted settings, characters and plots, and the tone is strange and unique as well, at times dark and foreboding and at other times almost goofy.
However, The Incal is not a crime story, despite the focus on conspiracy and investigative plots; it's a science-fiction story, in terms of both hard science (technology) and soft science (a twisted social structure that reads like the most dismal extrapolation of modern-day corporate/religious structures).
I was also quite intrigued by the political forces driving the world of The Incal, which include the technology-minded scientists known as the Techno-Technos, the President who clones himself into different forms on various whims and the "Catholic Church on methamphetamines" style Technopope and his followers.

Thus far the reader has had to guess what sort of religion the worship of Incal was; it may even have been inferred that Poseidi were polytheists, from my reference to the various gods of this and that title, class or grade.
To assert that we, despite our enlightenment, adored the orb of day, would he as absurd as to say that the Christians adore the cross of the crucifixion for itself; in both cases it is the attached significance that caused the sun, and causes the cross, to be held in any sort of regard.
But in doing this she had, according to the legend, disobeyed Incal, who had said that His highest, most progressed children should not enjoy this fruit, for whosoever did should surely die, because no mortal being could have immortal life and also reproduce its kind.

In conclusion, Mr Incal’s conviction was disproportionate to the aim pursued, and therefore unnecessary in a democratic society.
Mr Incal maintained that the National Security Courts were special courts set up to protect the State’s interests rather than to do justice as such; in that respect their function was similar to that of the executive.
Mr Incal was convicted of disseminating separatist propaganda capable of inciting the people to resist the government and commit criminal offences, for participating in the decision to distribute the leaflet in issue, taken on 1 July 1992 by the executive committee of the Izmir section of the HEP (see paragraphs 15 and 16 above).

INCAL is a twelve issue prequel to the late-'80s Epic deluxe series of the same name by Jodorowsky and Moebius.
The tale at hand covers the late childhood and adolescent passage of the Incal's protagonist, the someday-to-be a class-B private investigator John DiFool.
However, again as one might expect from Jodorowsky, the reuse of a plot element is really its reinvention as a vehicle for a new and often incredible image.

Based on a story originally told by Metabarons creators Jodorowsky and Moebius, The Incal was originally published in France in the early 1980s, and reprinted in part for American audiences by Marvel's Epic imprint.
Hailed as one of their greatest collaborations, the saga of a young man drawn into cosmic events also marked the first appearance of a character known as the Metabaron, whom Jodorowsky would eventually develop into one of the hottest series of the early 21st century.

 A Dweller Book 1 Chapter 4
CHAPTER IV In their consideration of natural laws, the philosophers of Poseid had come to the conclusive hypothesis and working theory that the material universe was not a complex entity but in its primality extremely simple.
This may truly be regarded as going inward from those manifestations of nature, of Incal or God, or the Creator, which are external; as going toward the internal from externality.
A very brief study will show thee that the laws of the physical world continue inward to their spiritual source; that they are, truly, but prolongations the one of the other.

The Incal is one of those stories you hear discussed in hushed, almost reverential tones by its fans.
Spawning both a prequel (Avant L'Incal / Before the Incal) drawn by Moebius's protégé Zoran Janjetov, as well as a brand-new sequel (Après L'Incal / After the Incal), the saga of The Incal has surprised and delighted virtually everyone who encountered it.
As an added bonus, Fred Beltran (the colorist of Après L'Incal, and The Technopriests) is recoloring the original Incal and Avant L'Incal art (which will be reprinted in The Incal #1-24) to bring it in line with Janjetov's and Moebius's sequel art.

So a few weeks ago I picked up the first two volumes of The Incal on a whim from my comic shop, since Moebius was credited on the covers and I'm sort of a fan of his.
Also, can you tell me how much longer The Incal is? I know that it's continued past 'The Epic Conspiracy' (the one published through DC), but I haven't a clue by how long.
Speaking of Incal I did not like the new coloring that was used.

The stories of The Metabarons aren't quite so jarring as those in The Incal, probably because the societal and moral rot hasn't had a few more centuries to set in.
