Jodorowsky is a visionary, but a cheap one. ("technopope" indeed!) While Moebius is cheap in the good sense: quick, democratic, direct. AJ's writing really drags this down. Even so, there's a lot of "The Fifth Element" and "Idiocracy" in it: camp, ham futurism. Reading this after Transmetropolitan and The Filth makes its wild whimsies seem tame though. (Quibble: I can't stand AJ's exclamation marks. Average of 8 per page here. I assume his mind is one big !)
I have literally no idea what the hell I just read was, except it was obviously written by a dude in the 80s who thought adding techno- and meta- to the beginning of every other word made some kind of sense.
JODO!!! Amazing story and writing, wonderful art by Moebius. This is quite a psychedelic, spiritual tale, an acquired taste I would say, but if you know and love Jodorowsky this is it! This work of art not only helped sequential art be taken serious but inspired a lot of the sci fi thy came after.
