The Metabarons - Comic Discovery # 03

The Metabarons saga, born from the cult universe of The Incal, is an epic and tragic fresco exploring the genealogy of a caste of ultimate warriors. Written by Jodorowsky and illustrated with masterful brushstrokes by Juan Giménez, this work appropriates the conventions of Greek tragedy to depict a lineage condemned to misfortune, where each son must mutilate and then kill his father to succeed him. Beyond the galactic battles and cybernetic aesthetics, the narrative offers a profound reflection on hybridity and hubris (excessive pride). By subverting the stereotypes of the action hero in favor of tortured characters often enslaved by their emotions, the series delivers a critique of confinement within tradition and violence, thus establishing itself as a complex and essential pillar of modern science fiction.
