Topic: Technopriests


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  comicreaders.com - The Technopriests volume 1: Initiation
What was once a kid’s game has transformed entire generations as an integral part of our culture-– today’s gamers can interact with entire virtual worlds at the push of a button, while technology continues to evolve.
But The Technopriests is more than that-– it’s also a heavily layered sociopolitical commentary on timeless themes and conflicts.
The Technopriests is a hyper-detailed hallucinogenic dreamscape of aliens, mutant hybrids and technology.

 would not should good: Jodorowsky's Technopriests Volume 1 and 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
I started his new series, the Technopriests, which is centered around the cult of the technopriests, who build the virtual game entertainments for the universe.
None of his heroes are just born, they violent brought into the universe, with their ultimate power equal to the violence with which they are conceived and born.
The story looks back from the end of the story, like The Son of the Gun storyline, but this time the future seems a little more bright as the Albino is leading a migration of technopriests to the promised land and not spending his time on a cross.

Technopriests is the first title to come out of the new publishing initiative between French comics publisher Les Humanoides Associes and DC Comics.
If the Technopriests is any indication (and I gather from other sources that a lot of these books are going to fall into the same vein), you're not going to get much more than your normal sci-fi/space opera fare here.
It's all retold in mostly ham-fisted dialogue by Albino, who's (get this) an albino who aspires to be supreme technopriest, kind of the ultimate video game designer in a world where virtual reality and reality tend to blend together.

The Technopriests series is the story of the life of Albino, the head Techno-Priest.
This first volume covers his lowly birth as one of three odd children (Albino is completely white, his brother Almagro is fl skinned, and his sister Onyx is bright red and has four arms).
We are in the world of The Incal - these Technopriests are the same as the "techno technicians" from that series.

 Fred Beltran - Interview - Premonition
Fred accepted to share a few moments with us in order to discuss the fourth tome of "The Technopriests", which has just been published.
Actually, I'm only working on "The Technopriests" now because I like this series and Zoran's drawing and I consider this work otherwise than a simple "colorisation".
In "The Technopriests" series, I think there's a rupture from the third tome.

Full of wild concepts and visuals, the like of which are rarely seen in North American comics, both series blend strong characterization, tremendous pacing and a downright peculiar predilection for adding extraneous prefixes to the simplest of words.
The Metabarons is a galaxy-spanning tale of the rise of a man named Othon from space pirate to the most lauded soldier in the universe, while The Technopriests sees a boy named Albino try to rise up from being an unloved bastard-child to become a member of the elite game creators of the Technoguild.
Jodorowsky, 75, who will be a special guest at the Canadian National Comic Book Expo from Aug. 27 to 29 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, possesses a rare quality like animator Hayao Miyazaki to imagine worlds the rest of us are too grounded to perceive.

 Humanoid's Publishing - Catalog
THE TECHNOPRIESTS teams Jodorowsky with artist Zoran Janjetov and digital artist Fred Beltran to create a universe that is truly imaginative and limitless.
However, the Technoguild is a vicious and corrupt organization and Albino will learn the hard way that the path to become a Technopriest is fraught with unimaginable danger.
Parallel to Albino’s adventures, his mother, brother and sister endure their own perilous quest to take revenge on the brutal pirates who fathered Albino and his siblings.

Once you see books like their Technopriests, you'll understand my excitement level being so high.
Alexandro Jodorowsky (whose name may be familiar to readers of his and Moebius's collaboration The Incal) starts off The Technopriests with a bang, plunging the reader directly into a stellar conflict that pits ruthless space pirates against a defenseless temple on a barren asteroid.
Rather, this is the story of Albino, and of how he breaks free to try and become a Technopriest (a creator and shaper of the computer nets).

Her other two children, the male Albino and the red-skinned four-armed female Onyx, are treated as slaves, especially when she establishes a highly profitable cheese factory (seriously!) in order to make enough money to have her revenge against her rapists.
Albino, however, dreams of becoming a Technopriest to create even better videogames than the ones he spends his days playing, his only company being his rodent friend Tinigrifi.
Meanwhile, his mother's appetite for revenge leads her on a journey that brings her and her remaining children on a rollercoaster ride of triumph and defeat.

 Mutant gifts are key to clans' balance of power
Having formed an alliance with one of the biggest European purveyors of graphic novels, DC Comics is now presenting some of these sprawling illustrated sagas in newly translated editions.
The first volume of "The Technopriests," illustrated by Zoran Janietov with coloring and computer effects by Fred Beltran, follows Albino, the bastard son of a space pirate, as he struggles to become a member of the Technoguild and create video games that will influence every denizen of the galaxy.
Meanwhile, his treacherous mother and twin brother and sister roam the stars in a quest for revenge against the space pirates.

 The Humanoids
First published in 1998, The Technopriests is the story of Albino, a virtual game designer who's about to attain godhood in his world.
He has worked with Jodorowsky on L'incal, before starting the Technopriests series.
Inspired by recent historical events, The Horde published in 2003 is the story of Ivan Apelsinov a Russian dictator in the year 2050 who dreams of an empire that spreads from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean.

I've been meaning to check out the TechnoPriests, but at four slim hardcovers (each one at 12.95 or 14.95, I can't remember right now) they always seemed a bit on the expensive side.
If you are new to Humanoids I recommend getting "Technopriests" in July and "Deicide" in August (I realize that I've left out the biggest Humanoids hit: "Metabarons").
Some of you may be familiar with Igor Baranko (author of Horde).

With the TechnoPriets, Jodorowsky has finally made an attempt to put something recent actually up there with the Watchmen's and Dark Knights of the past.
You'll have to forgive some of the more awkwardly translated passages, and Jodorowsky's typical "hokey" sense of humour and love for sci-fi jargon and babble like "TechnoPriests" but it's all well worth it.
The story unfolds as Albino recounts his life story and his mother's mad quest to castrate the three space pirates who raped her and spawned her 3 children: Almagro, Albino and Onyx.

 " On Books" By Paul Di Filippo
I’m not sure, but I do know that I would be remiss in not pointing out to you the publication of The Technopriests: Book I: Initiation (trade paper, $14.95, 160 pages, ISBN 1-4012-0359-0).
Jodorowsky keeps a dual narrative–the fate of Albino’s mother and siblings–spinning along as well, and this saga of piracy and rapine across the stars counterbalances the more cerebral plot.
If you don’t become an acolyte of The Technopriests, you’ll be damned to an afterlife of reading nothing but Star Wars graphic novels.

I'm not 100% convinced that The Incal #1 works as a perfect introduction to The Incal saga, but I think by the time the second issue comes out, people will start having a much better feel for the story.
The story itself is interesting; it reminds me a bit of Jodorowsky's TechnoPriests story, with a young man having to haul himself up out of the gutter by his own willpower.
Unlike the Albino of TechnoPriests, though, John has no real advantage, no special abilities.

But while the focus is certainly on the art, writer and co-creative director Ian Sattler also brings his own unique sensibilities into the project.
