I think the NMC intro music could be the official soundtrack to my draining bank account.

lmfao I bought this specifically because of Omar 😂

[@JAMESDANIEL92]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THIS!!! I’m not a rich man by all means and scrap together what I can for the books that I do get. And jodorowsky’s incal is by far my favorite story of all time

[@michaelmccue7249]

Excellent have mine on preorder for a triple dip!

[@Jets1]

I always appreciate how you tell us the age rating! Just good to know! Thanks for another amazing video!

[@NearMintCondition]

I do try and thank you.

You’re my brother from another mother, my man. I’ve been wanting to get a copy of the deluxe version. And, I’m glad to know that I won’t have to pay $1,000 for it. Mobius influenced so many people from gen-x. Such a talent. Robot Carnival is a personal favorite of mine. I watched it on TV at sometime around 2:00 AM when I was in my teens. Never forgot the short called Cloud. ❤🎉

[@NearMintCondition]

Cloud still hits me. I love that movie so much!

[@JoeLovesComics]

Ooooh nice, awesome video. Would love an in-depth review, definitely need to check this out someday.

[@olavhegnar6777]

I’m really looking forward to this new printing! I am however very perplexed about the panel they chose for the two prints. Not that it’s bad, it’s just that there are so many more eye catching pages in the book!

[@hamzadawud]

I've never read this story, but you've pretty much convinced me to grab this edition.

[@swayne-leohosein-cadogan5576]

lol this just popped up on my feed as i completed "the incal" and im now opening up "before the incal" what a trip. i have to take a break every half hour.

[@johnnyblue2430]

Hell yes! Give us a deep dive on this one!

[@pcprincipal9889]

Very glad I got the limited-edition years ago. The paper is very nice quality, similar to the great metabarons slipcase. I like the softer colour presentation on the matte paper, gloss always has higher contrast with deeper blacks, but the presentation looks a little more 'drawn' on matte I think. Ink adheres to the papers differently, and actually matte or uncoated paper absorbs the ink more, and that's what makes the difference. On gloss/coated paper, the ink sits on the top of the paper a bit more, so is more punchy and is brighter.

[@dreamEater99]

Very nice edition. Thanks for the comparison. I might pick up the standard HC

[@Sound1one]

I dont need this but I LOVE the Jodorverse so I gotta have it.Hopefully one day the Metabarons box set will get a reprint as well.Great video

[@robertmarquez8883]

Two words...Heavy Metal. "There's That Word Again!"... ;)

[@anthonyparkinson4517]

The limited edition has UNCOATED paper which is why the colours are more muted and the lines less sharp - Because the ink sinks INTO the paper. The new edition has COATED paper where the ink sits ON the surface so colours are brighter and linework is sharper. The unocated paper is thicker because if it were as thin as the coated you would get show-through. There's rarely a good reason to use uncoated paper for colour content. Same applies to The Metabarons LE - Badly compromised because they also went for uncoated paper there too. Mark my words, if they reprint that it too will be on coated paper just like this new Incal edition. If I were a cynical man I might speculate they did this on purpose to get hardcore fans to buy both.

[@megaholysock]

That's really sad.

[@paulpeterson]

That’s nice presentation. I have the standard hardcover and wasn’t really into it (just an oblique story IMO) so won’t be picking this up, but nice that it’s available for the Jodoheads out there 😊. Thanks for the overview!

[@toeknee1505]

I enjoyed your overview, Omar! 👍

[@fbeye5890]

Omar, do you think they’ll reprint the slipcase Metabarons?

[@claudianreyn4529]

I didn't even know this was released. What a bugger, I have to buy it now. 😅

[@MastermindAXL]

Oh, shoot; I thought this was just an oversized hardcover. I had no clue it was a slipcase edition. I'll definitely pick this up! EDIT: I would be interested in an in-depth review!

[@richnault2866]

That's a good looking version of a should read graphic novel. If i didn't already own this story in a different version it would be at the top of my list and when you add the Metabarons and technopriests storylines to this universe of re-releases, well, congratz new readers and collectors. I will say though, i had to read it more than once to appreciate the full story and implications.

[@stealthcomics8280]

Oh yeah bring on the review pls 😁

[@christophergray7982]

Its alot like old heavy metal comics, which were based on an old French magazine. Awesome art and stories.

[@Transformers217]

This is the greatest comic book that I have ever read!

[@mjau65]

Jerry Cornelius' Hermetic Garage is Moebius' masterpiece.

[@rewanji]

RIP Kevin O'Neill. Hope you can talk a little bit about him. Cheers.

[@bungle.mr81]

Have you done the indeph review for "The Incal" yet?

[@nivekleveb8872]

Is "The Metabaron" series ever finishing? The newer one, I mean...I thought Esad Ribic was supposed to do the next installment, it was announced around Secret Wars but I can't find any updates about it. I have the previous deluxe and the smaller HC so I'm going to pass on this, but I highly recommend this book and props to Omar for giving it more light.

[@iwittges]

Would it be good to get Before and Final Incal?

[@MrStrangermoon]

looks like dark empire style. never heard of this.

[@Stephen_D421]

I was thinking this aa well.

[@TheOpticBlast]

I would have liked how it looks next to the technopriest.

[@blacksun7471]

Maybe I missed it, but was hoping for a size comparison to an Absolute/Omnibus.

[@NearMintCondition]

I may have done that with the first limited which is the same size as this version.

[@axelplate9080]

Where can i find this in-depth review?

[@jocool7370]

RIP Carlos Pacheco.

[@NearMintCondition]

It’s been a long day with those news of did he or not. It sucks, brother.

[@davidc1664]

Do they publish a new version every month?

[@NearMintCondition]

2019 was the last time the Slipcase came out.

[@tannerheslet5347]

I’m always glad to see nice collected editions come out because there will always be people who are ecstatic it exists. But I’m one of those people you mentioned who couldn’t stand this. I didn’t like any of the characters, I didn’t like the dialogue, and the plot was just weird and I felt like there was no payoff because I didn’t like literally anybody. 😅

[@mydixiewrecked7622]

For a guy that pronounces authors names correctly. Why do you butcher Jodorowsky's name. It's not JodoWowsky. Hope that doesn't sound mean

[@NearMintCondition]

Lol I do try my best, but I was told by my Spanish audience that I pronounce it correctly. So at this point maybe I’m wrong.

[@amorbavian]

Oversized and over-priced.

[@James-ip7zk]

Man, I think Incal is poorly written and it is kind of boring. The art is gorgeous though. I cannot be the only one thinking it is highly overrated? Am I?

[@tannerheslet5347]

You’re not alone. It’s one of my least favorite things I’ve read this year.

[@pcprincipal9889]

You're not. I liked it, but I've read quite a few comics stories which I prefer. But it's been a long time since I read it so probably need to go at it again. I think some of the quotes and legend etc might be based on context, and when it was released maybe. The art is unbelievably good, and I would say there is a legitimate shout for saying it's the best. I was tempted to get it in the black and white edition too...

[@megaholysock]

It was written in different era with different standards, from today's perspective it can seem rather confusing story telling but when i imagine era 35 years ago it had to feel like really fresh wind to read comic like this. Metabaron topped it in every aspect for me.

[@Rodimusprimerib]

Man i am suoer on the fence on upgrading i loved the incal but have not finished it as the world bubbles and text are so small on the reg HC i am was always wanting to upgrade but that price and so many omnis coming out make it hard for me to decide……🫤
