![]() ![]() Now many will point out that story is prosperous, which is true, but that was true for ALL the comics in the Jodoverse except for the short stories like vignettes in "Screaming Planet." Furthermore, there is actual character development here which most Jodorowsky comics lack in a way his films do not. It also doesn't make sense since there are some continuities issues that this creates even in the Ladronn version. It was clear that Jodorowsky liked the symbolism of the Incal, but did not like some of the narrative problems. ![]() Making "The Incal" a dream, however, was both lazy and inconsistent with the story. The story telling possibilities seemed more interesting in the Moebius version, but I must say, I actually like Ladronn's art a little more. Both the Moebius and Ladronn versions of the story pick up and try to integrate the events of "Before the Incal" with "The Incal" in a way that makes John DiFools character more consistent. It also contextualized "The Incal" in a way that made its themes clearer. Jodorowsky's Incal stories got more and more relatable in time, particularly when he wrote the "Before the Incal," which, while still have some objectively laughable dialogue, did give you far more consistent characters than Incal itself. This is difficult to review, if you have the current one with "After the Incal" you can see the story start twice: once with Moebius and once with Ladronn. ![]()
