    This was an excellent review from both of you. As a native french speaker i grew up with Jodorowsky and Moebius. So i am always interested in what someone who grew up reading American comics has to say. I subscribed for the Marvel and DC Omnibus reviews mostly. The fact that you are open minded enough to also appreciate Mangas and European comics is the icing on the cake.

    Great to see you two getting into Jodorowsky & Moebius ... theirs is some fantastic books. You gotta track down Jodorowsky's films and give them a spin El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre and especially the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune which is the precursor to Incal, Metabarons etc. It is fascinating stuff. Cheers.

    GEM MINT: check out a youtube video titled 'What Star Wars owes the French comics', it shows the French, comics that dated back in the early 60's and 70's where Star Wars and the Fifth Element had depicted from years and decades before either of movies ever existed. It's an interesting video to follow up on the origin history of The Incal comic book series.

    Great video there with a great book! The character's name -- John Difool, pronounced like that -- is actually a pun on John The Fool. If you liked it, I recommend that you read the other books from Jodorowski, mainly The Metabaron. And then, maybe you can also take a look at books from Druillet which have Space opera elements with a lot of 'Psicadelic' art.
    Kudos to the couple! :)

    Jodoverse consists of many titles and most of them have similar kind of vibe like the Incal. I'd suggest checking out other stories of DiFool first (Before the Incal, After the Incal, Final Incal) before jumping into other parts of the Jodoverse.

  • @natez9532
    @natez9532 4 роки тому

    Moebius and the creator of Valerian both did concept art not the writing for Fifth Element. The director Luc Bessen grew up on his french graphic novels and directed both Fifth Element and Valerian. But the thing is, soooo much was derived from French graphic novels including the American magazine Heavy Metal which came from moebius and philipe druillet and other artists, called Metale (without the "e" it's just to show pronunciation) Hurlant. And after Jodorwoski couldn't get Dune off the ground he used Moebius who did concept work for Dune to be the artist for his Incal and Metabaron comics. And Luc Besson intended for the Fifth Element to be an Incal variation. Go back to old Metale Hurlant magazines and youll see stuff in there you'll find in Star wars and other American sci fi movies. The Milenium Faulcon was a take on Valerians ship from the graphic novel. I think the copy you have might have a note from the editor or someone in the back saying, "please stop ripping off this book". I actually have a copy of Metaborons Genesis: Castaka, which started the whole Metabarons lore by Jodorowski. French graphic novels are a really good sci fi read.

      @@GemMintCollectibles So I got my standard hardback copy today, 37 bucks shipped which is damn good IMO. Definitely not as eye catching as the deluxe version, but I can tell it won't be as prone to falling apart like that. It's actually reasonably high quality and really feels broken in just out of the packaging. Pages are thick and pretty well satured with color. It's still pretty sizable as well and possibly one of the most content packed "one shot"? I've ever got for its price. About 1/3 of the way done. Thank you AGAIN for the recommendation.

      Spidey has been in three thus far and Sony cannot incorporate the character into its own extended universe until the deal comes to a conclusion. That five-film cap will presumably be reached when two already filmed movies debut: "Avengers: Endgame" in April and "Spider-Man: Far From Home" in July (it is likely Spider-Man is in Endgame, though he has not been in any of the trailers released so far).
