[@comicrisis6173]

RIP Juan Giménez. Metabarons, best comic of all times

Alejandro Jodorowsky should have made 'Dune' as he wanted :)

[@kelynandrasko9888]

I am def going to check this out just for the art alone. Its beautiful

Something about your videos just calms me down

Must be the THC!

[@jeremyb6851]

Have this definitive edition on my shelf, but haven't read it yet. The art looks amazing though and I've only heard great things, so definitely need to read this soon!

[@xXCigarXx]

Same here....saving it for a nice day when I have the time.

[@TheHardcoverComic]

Get on it! I personally took it an issue a day, it’s a lot!

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

It came recommended and I got it for a Xmas present. I’m two thirds of the way through and am picking it up every chance I get. For me, a graphic novel is all about immersion. The more detail about the world the book universe is set in the better (imo). The Metabarons is right up my alley

[@SlumpedCactus]

Been reading comics for a while but I just started collecting hardcover comics. Every time Mike makes a video I end up buying something. Must be the THC 😏. Keep killing it

[@jmp01a24]

I started on *Incal* in the 80s. Then much much later I found *Metabarons* And the crowning achivement was when I discovered the saga of *Technopriests* .That is just amazing - er than anything he done before, simply because its spiritual matter is in the driver seat.

[@niclaslindman]

Are let out a MetaBaron Second Cycle Finale in February 2024 so go pree order now 👌

[@acluda8026]

What a beauty of a collected edition!

[@nerlmarchetto]

One of my favorite comics ever. Great review!

[@ivancruz5735]

One day I will have this slipcase edition in my collection!

[@julietaquezada7041]

Never heard of it but i will read it son

[@kaynaramiranda7381]

If Dune turns out as great as it looks and Villeneuve pulls it off (and why wouldn't he, given his track record), it would be epic if he makes a Metabarons movie.

[@jawnsushi]

I bought The Incal about 2 years ago. I started it about 3 different times but never got far for whatever reason. Not necessarily because of the book itself. Just different things. Although I guess that if I liked the book better, I'm sure I would've stuck with it. I finally finished it about a month ago. Overall, I thought it was just okay. Definitely loved the first third or half. However, I thought it went on for way too long. That being said though, some of my favorite art was in that last third or so. I actually checked this out a little before I finished Incal and I think this looks pretty amazing. I'm looking forward to it!

[@TheHardcoverComic]

I hope you enjoy The Metabarons more! I personally feel The Metabarons is the strongest offering in the Jodoverse

Hey Mike! The artwork is gorgeous! And it looks beautifully made, as u stated it is! Intriguing stuff! Do u need to read "The Incal" books to understand this? I agree, Humanoids is great! I have a western/sort of a weird western from Humanoids in a beautifully bound, well-made HC called, "Bouncer." It's written by Jodo & drawn by François Boucq, & it is fantastic! "The Metabarons" is a title I've been interested in before, but never found it @ an affordable price. And, as I mentioned above, I wasn't sure if there was prerequisite reading involved. But this was a cool review! Ur definitely passionate about it, & the passion u & Matt have for comics is awesome! Thanx for this video, brother! As always, I hope u guys & ur families are healthy & safe! 😊👍🏻👍🏻❤

[@coyley72]

I gave the missus two choices for a gift for me for Christmas, Metabarons or the 3 deluxe Paper Girls. 🤔 perhaps she’ll get me both 😉

[@peterlinfield]

The Metabarons is one of my favourite comics ever. It's absolutely insane and the characters are more mythic than fully realized people, but it is so incredibly imaginative and gorgeous that any faults it has really don't matter. I still haven't read The Technopriests but hear it's also very good. Have you read any of the ongoing Metabaron (The Metabaron?) series yet?

[@TheHardcoverComic]

I have read it! I’ll be doing a video on the series and the 3 oversized hardcovers for it. Is it still ongoing? I think Humanoids recently collected all 6 chapters in The Metabarons: Second Cycle, so I thought it was complete

[@ricky865]

Now that they're doing the Incal as a movie they should do this as an HBO max series

[@lostboy8928]

Man I regret sleeping on this box set 😭

[@turtle62785]

OMG I went into my local shop for their 40% off Christmas Eve sale and this was just sitting there! I asked if this counted and they said sure. I bought it that second and informed them it was going for 350$ on secondary markets!!!

[@malthus101]

how much did you get it for?

[@stevenjones7343]

What metabarons books are included in the definitive edition? Is Castaka, First Cycle, Weapons of the Metabaron, Second Cycle, Simak, Megalex & Techopriests all included?

[@robbieduffy9998]

Got no chance of getting this unless there's a reprint so looks like I'm gonna have to go through the digital route..

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

There's an anniversary hardcover edition still available at Amazon.........I think. I got my copy there for £30 a few months ago

[@peterlinfield]

If you prefer physical comics, there's a really nice hardcover edition from Humanoids that's very easy to find. This limited edition is definitely not the only way to read it in print.

[@robbieduffy9998]

@@peterlinfield really..?? Didnt know that..I'll have to check it out..thanks mate..!!

[@omnitheus5442]

Is this getting a reprint? Just got into the hobby...

[@KingKing-bo5yf]

The colour is not great I would say. I bought these two books. Ops, No serrial No.s in front. You know when they printed these books in China, there were a few extra copies which I bought in China.

[@julietaquezada7041]

Soon

[@timcline9689]

heard of it, looks gorgeous, never read it

[@piotrklejment5867]

Don' t, you have been warned. (:

[@mattc1uk]

It might be a bit robotic because it's told by robots?

[@yerkovidal9691]

I say this, give me the movie nooooow!

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

Great video. I really like the Metabarons a lot, but I disagree on the two robots framing the story. I know they are significant but their banter is just so grating and annoying and took me out fo the otherwise great story a couple of times. I would nevertheless still recommend it to everyone.

[@malthus101]

$350..... 😰

[@patgorman6]

Have you read second cycle yet?

[@piotrklejment5867]

Don't read it. For the sake of your mind. I'v read it all just to be sure and with all honesty this novel, is a mother of all "how not to write", it's so daringgly bad written it cringes you on every page. Trully astonoshing acommplishment of epic crap, and a guide for all sane writers to never, ever make the same mistakes, as mr. Jodorowsky. Its terrible beyound believe. I dare anyone to read it and enjoy, its a challenge !
