Summary

A majestosa saga Incal， criada por Jodorowsky e Mœbius， chega ao seu retumbante final！ O famoso e famigerado detetive John Difool e seu fiel companheiro Deepo são involuntariamente arremessados em uma nova missão para salvar o Universo， enquanto seu mundo enfrenta a ameaça de um vírus metálico que devora tudo。
Incal Final marca o retorno do visionário roteirista Jodorowsky à épica mitologia que criou ao lado de Mœbius no início dos anos 1980。 Para a conclusão desta lendária série de aventura espacial e espiritual， ele agora se junta ao artista José Ladrönn， vencedor do Prêmio Eisner。 Além de Incal Final， este terceiro e último volume da editora Pipoca & Nanquim também traz a história Depois do Incal， desenhada por Mœbius， e o conteúdo do livro Os Mistérios do Incal， uma verdadeira enciclopédia que reúne conceitos， segredos e curiosidades acerca desta seminal história em quadrinhos de ficção científica， fechando com chave de ouro a coleção TODO INCAL， que ficará orgulhosamente exposta na prateleira dos colecionadores em um box exclusivo。

The weakest of the Incal series by far。 This one took me a while to get into as it just seemed too similar to the previous books。 But while it does manage to add some new ideas， and is at times fairly enjoyable， it still lacks something that made the previous two books stand out on their own so well。 I think I would have preferred a new story， rather than so much repetition and recycled ideas， but I guess the other spin off series' Jodorowsky created would cater to those requirements， and The In The weakest of the Incal series by far。 This one took me a while to get into as it just seemed too similar to the previous books。 But while it does manage to add some new ideas， and is at times fairly enjoyable， it still lacks something that made the previous two books stand out on their own so well。 I think I would have preferred a new story， rather than so much repetition and recycled ideas， but I guess the other spin off series' Jodorowsky created would cater to those requirements， and The Incal remains tied to its own weird bubble。 This is the Final Incal， but both of the previous books also ended in a way which suggested they too were the end of the story， so who knows really。 。。。more

I was more mixed on this one that I wish I was。 The Incal， the original Jodorowsky and Moebius comic， is one of the best comic books of all time， and truly melted my brain when I read it earlier this year。 Before the Incal is also really good。 This one， like I said， I was more mixed on。 The main thing was that it felt "modern" in a way that the first two didn't - they were more in the "classical" 70s and 80s style where everything was drawn by hand， in simpler panels， and everything was over-wri I was more mixed on this one that I wish I was。 The Incal， the original Jodorowsky and Moebius comic， is one of the best comic books of all time， and truly melted my brain when I read it earlier this year。 Before the Incal is also really good。 This one， like I said， I was more mixed on。 The main thing was that it felt "modern" in a way that the first two didn't - they were more in the "classical" 70s and 80s style where everything was drawn by hand， in simpler panels， and everything was over-written--in this case a good thing。 There simply weren't as many ideas at play， and the writing and dialogue felt a bit thin。 There is just so much packed into the original Incal; this one plays out like any standard sci-fi action comic of the last 20ish years。 The colors in this are more muted， softer， pastel almost， where the old Incal really popped with vivid color。 This is also drawn on computer， and not by hand; it kind of numbs my brain a little， though a lot of the art is still very good。 It does finish the story in a pretty satisfying way， though。 I've got Metabarons and Technopriests lined up to read next， which I hear are both quite good， so here we go。。。 。。。more

If you've read the Incal， you know what to expect from Jodorowsky with the multiple jargon-spouting factions in a futuristic world overlaid with mysticism。 The last third of the story starts to drag a little bit。 Jose Ladronn does a surprisingly good job of living up to the standard set by his predecessor， Moebius。 The coloring choices get to be a little routine， compared with the color in the Humanoids edition of the Incal， but the color in this one is a lot less drab than other attempts to mak If you've read the Incal， you know what to expect from Jodorowsky with the multiple jargon-spouting factions in a futuristic world overlaid with mysticism。 The last third of the story starts to drag a little bit。 Jose Ladronn does a surprisingly good job of living up to the standard set by his predecessor， Moebius。 The coloring choices get to be a little routine， compared with the color in the Humanoids edition of the Incal， but the color in this one is a lot less drab than other attempts to make The Incal look modern。 This is solid work all around。 。。。more

Not as good as the other two。。。 Story or art wise。

The first thing I will say that okay I am reading them out of order - although each book I am pretty sure （for those that have read them） that they are standalone and yet all fit together in to a bigger story （there is also the Metabaron to fit in there too but as I read the interview at the end of the book it appears he now has his own tale to tell and is appearing in his own publications）。 but what can I say that will not give away any spoilers - well the artwork is still incredibly iconic but The first thing I will say that okay I am reading them out of order - although each book I am pretty sure （for those that have read them） that they are standalone and yet all fit together in to a bigger story （there is also the Metabaron to fit in there too but as I read the interview at the end of the book it appears he now has his own tale to tell and is appearing in his own publications）。 but what can I say that will not give away any spoilers - well the artwork is still incredibly iconic but now with a slightly crisper clearer definition to it - but that I believe is due to the changes to the production team rather than a change in the story or the creative processes behind it。But there also a lot of what made the first Incal book so incredible - the massive canvases of the action （I think what is most impressive are some of the wide angle images where there is just so much going on） as well as the incredible eye for detail especially when you see how far the story goes from planets and asteroids， from the depths the heights there is just so much going on。 The book is something that you would just want to return to time and time again and I can now see why there are so many references to other stories and pieces of art which you can clearly see to their inspiration from this story。 。。。more

Brendan ，

My only complaint about Final Incal is that the shorter length of this story arc makes a lot of the plot feel slightly less fleshed out than the previous two volumes; I felt like there was room for a lot of expansion that wouldn’t have bogged down the action at all。 Regardless， Jodorowsky’s farewell to DiFool is great， a love-conquers-all action blockbuster as only he could imagine it。

SebastianDangerfield ，

I'm doing this all backwards。 Despite knowing about the Incal series for decades， and while admiring the art of Moebius， I just never got into this。 Put it off too long， look for it at the library， and the only volume available is the last， illustrated by the quite capable Ladronn。 Story is a convoluted mess of gobbledygook that I don't know quite how to evaluate， and the drawings/painting/computer-rendered storytelling， is gorgeous。 A lot of high-flying， overblown Sci-Fi/fantasty craziness。 Jod I'm doing this all backwards。 Despite knowing about the Incal series for decades， and while admiring the art of Moebius， I just never got into this。 Put it off too long， look for it at the library， and the only volume available is the last， illustrated by the quite capable Ladronn。 Story is a convoluted mess of gobbledygook that I don't know quite how to evaluate， and the drawings/painting/computer-rendered storytelling， is gorgeous。 A lot of high-flying， overblown Sci-Fi/fantasty craziness。 Jodorowsky's prose is rudimentary。 It's fun enough， and pretty to the eye。 Hard to truly to judge by reading the final chapter before the rest。 。。。more

Vicente Ribes ，

Pasable， pero sólo porque recupera personajes de la saga original y vemos que paso con Kaimann o Luna， a quiénes no veíamosdesde Antes del Incal。 Creo que con los albumes de Antes del Incal y el Incal esta saga debería haber acabado。 Aquí Jodorowsky se inventa un argumento flojo que palidece con el resto de su obra。 Prefería el final en bucle de la saga original a esto。

More conventional than The Incal， with character dynamics and storylines that are summaries of their stories in that story。The art is pretty terrific though。 Strongly evokes the original but with higher detail and a modern digital feel。

Return to the world of Incal。 At first glance， it looks like same story that was in original Incal， just in different colour。 But it works for me。 Jodorowsky is again shooting crazy and interesting ideas page by page， it's still entertaining and funny。 Ladrönn's suits sci-fi theme very well， and I'm glad that Moebius decided to skip project。 His drawing is simpler than in previous works， and really awful computer colouring is throwing it down。 4。5* as it missing amazement effect， but still pret Return to the world of Incal。 At first glance， it looks like same story that was in original Incal， just in different colour。 But it works for me。 Jodorowsky is again shooting crazy and interesting ideas page by page， it's still entertaining and funny。 Ladrönn's suits sci-fi theme very well， and I'm glad that Moebius decided to skip project。 His drawing is simpler than in previous works， and really awful computer colouring is throwing it down。 4。5* as it missing amazement effect， but still pretty good 。。。more

Nonostante l'intrigante cambio di paradigma iniziale， l'Incal Finale risente di una struttura episodica "ostacolo-fuga" che si percepisce come ripetitiva。 Se da un lato questo modo di procedere ricorda e ripropone alcuni schemi narrativi dei due capitoli precedenti， dando l'impressione di minore originalità nell'elaborazione della trama， dall'altro non riesce a eguagliare quell'effetto matrioska da risucchio nel tunnel del bianconiglio verso il cuore mistico e filosofico della storia。Di contro， Nonostante l'intrigante cambio di paradigma iniziale， l'Incal Finale risente di una struttura episodica "ostacolo-fuga" che si percepisce come ripetitiva。 Se da un lato questo modo di procedere ricorda e ripropone alcuni schemi narrativi dei due capitoli precedenti， dando l'impressione di minore originalità nell'elaborazione della trama， dall'altro non riesce a eguagliare quell'effetto matrioska da risucchio nel tunnel del bianconiglio verso il cuore mistico e filosofico della storia。Di contro， la combriccola che viene a formarsi a metà lettura sorprende e diverte， portando a conseguenze naturali， seppure parodiche， le premesse iniziali。 La presenza dell'incompleto Dopo l'Incal nella versione integrale riattiva quel vortice circolare che come un prisma rilancia con mille sfaccettature la lotta dell'esistenza umana sulla tela dello spazio-tempo。 。。。more

In true Jodorowsky fashion， the Final Incla is more of a sequel to Before the Incal than the Incal itself。 Much more concisely structured but with a sort of 'let's get this over with' ending， this was one hell of a conclusion to a god-tier space opera series。 In true Jodorowsky fashion， the Final Incla is more of a sequel to Before the Incal than the Incal itself。 Much more concisely structured but with a sort of 'let's get this over with' ending， this was one hell of a conclusion to a god-tier space opera series。 。。。more

This is the end， my beautiful friend the end！ The journey of John DiFool， his companion Deepo， his ever-changing flames， greed-laden， hedonistic humans in a universe full of weirdness， impressionable aliens and everyone's favourite evil - machines， finally comes to an end after a torturous journey。 It all started brilliantly and in a trail-blazing fashion with The Incal， meandered through middling imagination in Before the Incal and finally landed in a quiet， distasteful whimper with this book。 This is the end， my beautiful friend the end！ The journey of John DiFool， his companion Deepo， his ever-changing flames， greed-laden， hedonistic humans in a universe full of weirdness， impressionable aliens and everyone's favourite evil - machines， finally comes to an end after a torturous journey。 It all started brilliantly and in a trail-blazing fashion with The Incal， meandered through middling imagination in Before the Incal and finally landed in a quiet， distasteful whimper with this book。 The desire to be unpredictable and shocking was too strong with Jodorowsky which in turn followed a similar plotline to the first book and ended up touting mystical cosmic consciousness of love， whatever that is， to be the supreme power in the cosmos binding humanity together （despite panels before they were still squabbling over land， money and power）。 All in all， the whole series was superb， especially the first book， and anyone who is into SF， should at least read that one， rest of them can be pretty much avoided。 My Rating - 1。5/5 。。。more

Unbelievable as it sounds， Final Incal is probably Jodorowsky´s most normal work。 Of course that hardly means you will not find dozens of bizarre characters， plot twists and ideas on every other page， just that in the context of Jodorowsky´s work， Final Incal exhibits the kind of cohesion that you would find in many "regular" scifi/superhero stories。 The book actually reminded me a lot of various cosmic superhero adventures， which was quite surprising。 It is both the strength and weakness of thi Unbelievable as it sounds， Final Incal is probably Jodorowsky´s most normal work。 Of course that hardly means you will not find dozens of bizarre characters， plot twists and ideas on every other page， just that in the context of Jodorowsky´s work， Final Incal exhibits the kind of cohesion that you would find in many "regular" scifi/superhero stories。 The book actually reminded me a lot of various cosmic superhero adventures， which was quite surprising。 It is both the strength and weakness of this installment。 Weakness in the sense that Jodo´s work was always characterized by a sort of disjointed mayhem of ideas， changing locations and often characters from page to page， which Final Incal lacks。 On the other hand， it´s also what makes it his most narratively "unified" work。 The story is mostly linear， a lot of the scenes are portrayed in detail （especially battles， which are so detailed they actually flow very nicely from one action to another！） - this is in stark contrast with the original Incal where an idea is often presented and discarded within 4 pannels。 Overall， better than Before the Incal （to which it actually connects more than to the Incal itself）。 The art is magnificent！ Being able to build on Moebius´ designs and aesthetics， Ladronn proves himself to be more than a match to Moebius himself。 。。。more

Final Incal begins where we left John DiFool， falling down the shaft of the great city of Terra 2014 towards an acid lake， his cosmic encounters forgotten。 He's rescued by plasma shooting giant bugs and informed of a new universal conflict。 The great black Bentacodon， a horrible energy vampire， is conspiring with the Prezident of Terra 2014 to release a horrible plague， killing all organic life and forcing the survivors into metal bodies。 DiFool meets up with Elohim， a glowing white archangel wh Final Incal begins where we left John DiFool， falling down the shaft of the great city of Terra 2014 towards an acid lake， his cosmic encounters forgotten。 He's rescued by plasma shooting giant bugs and informed of a new universal conflict。 The great black Bentacodon， a horrible energy vampire， is conspiring with the Prezident of Terra 2014 to release a horrible plague， killing all organic life and forcing the survivors into metal bodies。 DiFool meets up with Elohim， a glowing white archangel who informs him that only his love for Luz can save the galaxy， and they're off through the Incal cosmology， meeting mutants， space pirates， techno-technos， and the hermaphroditic Emperor/ess of the Galaxy。What this feel like most is a retread， a return to basically the same themes and story beats as both previous Incals and the Metabaron， without the psychological tension or originality that made those stories great。 Jodorowsky has his themes， and returns to them again and again。 DiFool alternates between cowardice and heroic self-sacrifice as the narrative demands。 The war between black and white， and their ultimate fusion， seems like an empty play of symbols。 And finally， something is off about the art。 It's incredibly detailed in every panel， but when I found in the end that Ladronn did it entirely digitally， and 3D modeled key elements like the city shaft， it made sense。 Some things are better analog。 。。。more
