	Metabarons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Metabarons or The Saga of The Meta-Barons is a science fantasy comic series relating the history of a dynasty of perfect warriors known as the Metabarons.
		The Bushitaka is the strict code of honor followed by the Metabarons, profoundly influenced by the Japanese bushido.
		The story of the Metabarons begins on an isolated world which possessed a blue, jelly-like substance whose properties defied the laws of gravity.

	SAVANT:: 10x the Speed of Love
		Ostensibly the history of a clan of uber warriors, The Metabarons is a science fiction epic on the literary scale of Frank Herbert's DUNE, or Isaac Asimov's FOUNDATION.
		We are shown Von Salza's maiming, which results in the Metabaron tradition of replacing organic body parts with technology, as well as many other seminal events that give us a better understanding of things that happen later in the second graphic novel.
		As the story of each successive Metabaron unfurls, we are given snapshots of the key moments in each of their lives.

	Lothar (Metabarons) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lothar is a fictional robot in the Metabarons universe.
		He is presented firstly being in service of the Metabaron (the Nameless), who asks Tonto to narrate to him of his master's history.
		Tonto who has been served the Metabarons for decades, unlike Lothar who is relatively new in the Metabaron's ownership, tells the saga to him, being thus the main narrator of the comic book series.

		The Metabaron is the last of a line of renowned warriors created by psionic and genetic intervention continued through adoption and marked by cybernetic augmentations.
		The last Metabaron (this is the one who is in the Incal Series by Jodorowsky and Moebius) made the decission to not take a wife and end the tradition.
		The fates of the last Metabaron and his 'son' are described in the Incal Series and in a new series by Jodorowsky and Moebius called 'After Incal' (Not published yet).

	The Metabarons #6 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The difficult part of the Metabarons, at this point, is the viscosity of the gender conflicts, with the guys pretty much firmly against the girls.
		The question then remains whether or not Jodorowsky (or Herbert for that matter) is using this landscape to ultimately judge or justify the foibles of the animus, with the reader’s response dictating to the individual whether this is in good taste or not.
		Immensity of scale is a repeating motif in the Metabarons and, here, we are treated to giant floating apes who hover near the peak of a one hundred fifty foot mushroom for the bulk of their nasty lives.

		On the other hand, the Metabarons game seems to be more suited to an Incal campaign, with Incal being a comic set in the same universe (Jodoverse, as it tends to be called), but at much lower power levels.
		The series follows the individual Metabarons through the ages, until it ends with the "current" MB (The one who shows up in the "Incal" series.), who decides to be the last of them and to leave the universe.
		The Metabarons comic serves more as a mythic background to the universe (with myth/fairy tale logic behind it), and the game does not support these kinds of power levels too well, in my opinion.

		Metabarons is anything but unclear, and you'd have to be a dunce to not get it at the core level.
		Besides Metabarons, they're responsible for Technopriests, the upcoming reissue of The Incal and dozens of other books that are capable of lining all other books up against the wall and blowing their guts out with an errant idea.
		Metabarons really lives up to the hype, and lives up to the standard set with each passing issue, and is so good at times that you will literally lose your shit.

		Metabarons: Path of the Warrior introduces the reader to the Metabaron clan, as two robotic servants of the current Metabaron tell the stories of the founding of the Metabarons, the triumph and tragedy that follow him, and the saga of his son, one which will take more twists and turns than you could possibly expect.
		Metabarons truly is an epic saga, and Path of the Warrior is just the first step or two down that road.
		Metabarons: Path of the Warrior is the first collection of the Metabarons series; if this does well, expect more on the horizon.

	[RPG]: Metabarons, reviewed by Sabermane (5/3) - RPGnet Forums
		The Metabarons RPG is based on the universe created by Alexandro Jodorowsky and originally visualized by Jean Giraud (Moebius).
		In addition to the Incal and Metabarons series, "the Techno-priests" with Janetov is also set in the same univers.
		Metabarons suffers from the following flaw with that comparison..The Metabaron is the main character of the book.

	FANBOY PLANET.com .: rs-metabarons :.
		The Metabarons is actually a spin-off series from Moebius' epic The Incal (The Incal is just now getting translated for American audiences with one volume out, due to the success of The Metabarons) but one wouldn't notice while reading this book.
		In this first volume, we follow the first Metabaron, Othon Von Salza Castaka, and his trials and pains in establishing the future line of Metabarons: pains that include the loss of a son, two wives, and a planet or two.
		There are two subsequent volumes out already: The Metabarons: Blood and Steel and The Metabarons: Poet and Killer, as well as another on the way in February, and they are all reasonably priced (cheap comics goooood, $35 hardcover reprints are baaaaad).

		Serving as both prelude and epilogue, ALPHA/OMEGA begins with the story of Baron Dayal of Castaka, the founding father of the Metabarons clan; and ends with the ascension to power of the final and most powerful of the Metabarons.
		These are the bookends that complete the saga of The Metabarons - hardened, insane warriors who sacrifice life and limb in their pursuit of challenge, honor and revenge.
		ALPHA/OMEGA is also a creative achievement in that it brings three generations of Metabarons artists together under one roof as they each provide their interpretation of the epilogue story.

	The Metabarons (ADD Review)
		The Metabarons represents perhaps the most successful attempt ever at depicting in comics the type of sweeping, epic space-saga that has long occupied the realm of science fiction novels, but rarely been seen in comic books.
		The Metabaron dynasty is built on an implicit masochism and an explicit ritual of mutiliation as a rite of passage.
		I could never imagine going through what the family does to maintain its lineage, but the struggles faced by the Metabarons are depicted against a backdrop of truly interstellar concerns; a big problem that is met by a big solution, with even bigger sacrifices made along the way.

		This book is a teaser more than another volume in the Metabarons saga, and if you're looking to get a sense of whether or not you should invest in the trade paperbacks collecting the series, this might make a slightly cheaper entry point.
		The stories fill in gaps in the overall Metabarons story, focusing on where the Metabaron got his tattoo and indeed how the legacy started as well as exploring the passage from one Metabaron to another in detail.
		A family of four becomes the scourge of the galaxy, a father and son hunt an enormous beast that is practically unkillable, and the lineage of warriors that is the Metabarons encounters another turning point.

		The inner story is the more fascinating of the two as the Saga of the Metabarons reaches a climax with the sacrifice of Honorata for her son and husband.
		In Saga of the Metabarons, Jodorowsky and Gimenez create a universe that looks and acts like nothing I have ever seen and, when done with class, that will almost always get my $3.00.

Beginning with the rise to power of the Metabaron family, this science-fiction epic spans worlds and years as the family goes through some pretty impressive trials and tribulations to eventually become a galactic force to reckon with...
		Metabarons is one of the best science-fiction comics being published right now; if you've ever enjoyed classic novels or comics in this genre, you really owe it to yourself to take a look at Metabarons.

		The story of the Metabarons is the family history of the greatest warrior the universe has ever known.
		Or perhaps I should tell of the space-age version of the Catholic Church that is run by immensely powerful and deadly nuns who are trying to create the "holy hermaphrodite?" The son who was tricked by his mother into having sex with her?
		Recently the first five issues of The Metabarons has been collected in a graphic novel with a second volume soon to be released, so this is an excellent way to check out the series.

		It is resolutely Not Normal, as you may expect from a writer who was also the director of cult movies El Topo and Santa Sangre.
		What keeps me going back to THE METABARONS is the immense volume and speed of its innovation.
		There is literally a new and mad idea on every page, framed by the bleak, poisonous male energy of the Metabarons and their crushing romance.
