In the chaos that followed, however, a new regime has taken hold, one that has seized control of the rare and vital fuel for intergalactic travel known as epiphyte. As the Metabaron launches a counter-offensive, the Empire will send its most feared soldiers to defend the power they have amassed, even to the doors of the Metabunker itself. To make matters even more dire, the Metabaron's less than honorable son seeks to usurp the power of the father who abandoned him. Can the Metabaron withstand the many challenges before him and save the universe once more? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn on the pages of Moebius and Jodorowsky's legendary\u003ci\u003e The Incal\u003c\/i\u003e, the mighty Metabaron has been starring in his own spinoff stories since 1992.

Best known for his films \u003ci\u003eEl Topo\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e (1973) and \u003ci\u003eSanta Sangre\u003c\/i\u003e (1989), Jodorowsky has been \"venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts\" for his work which \"is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation\".[1] \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn to Jewish-Ukrainian parents in Chile, Jodorowsky experienced an unhappy and alienated childhood, and so immersed himself in reading and writing poetry. Dropping out of college, he became involved in theater and in particular mime, working as a clown before founding his own theater troupe, the \u003ci\u003eTeatro Mimico\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1947. Moving to Paris in the early 1950s, Jodorowsky studied traditional mime under Étienne Decroux, and put his miming skills to use in the silent film \u003ci\u003eLes têtes interverties\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), directed with Saul Gilbert and Ruth Michelly. From 1960 onwards he divided his time between Mexico City and Paris, where he co-founded Panic Movement, a surrealist performance art collective that staged violent and shocking theatrical events. In 1966 he created his first comic strip, \u003ci\u003eAnibal 5\u003c\/i\u003e, and in 1967 he directed his first feature film, the surrealist \u003ci\u003eFando y Lis\u003c\/i\u003e, which caused a huge scandal in Mexico, eventually being banned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis next film, the acid western \u003ci\u003eEl Topo\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), became a hit on the midnight movie circuit in the United States, considered the first-ever midnight cult film, and garnered high praise from John Lennon, who convinced former Beatles manager Allen Klein to provide Jodorowsky with $1 million to finance his next film. The result was \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), a surrealist exploration of western esotericism. Disagreements with Klein, however, led to both \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEl Topo\u003c\/i\u003e failing to gain widespread distribution, although both became classics on the underground film circuit.[1] After a cancelled attempt at filming Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel \u003ci\u003eDune\u003c\/i\u003e, Jodorowsky produced five more films: the family film \u003ci\u003eTusk\u003c\/i\u003e (1980); the surrealist horror \u003ci\u003eSanta Sangre\u003c\/i\u003e (1989); the failed blockbuster \u003ci\u003eThe Rainbow Thief\u003c\/i\u003e (1990); and the first two films in a planned five-film autobiographical series \u003ci\u003eThe Dance of Reality\u003c\/i\u003e (2013) and \u003ci\u003eEndless Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e (2016). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJodorowsky is also a comic book writer, most notably penning the science fiction series \u003ci\u003eThe Incal\u003c\/i\u003e throughout the 1980s, which has been described as having a claim to be \"the best comic book\" ever written.[2] Other comic books he has written include \u003ci\u003eThe Technopriests\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMetabarons\u003c\/i\u003e. Jodorowsky has also extensively written and lectured about his own spiritual system, which he calls \"psychomagic\" and \"psychoshamanism\", which borrows from alchemy, the tarot, Zen Buddhism and shamanism.[3] His son Cristóbal has followed his teachings on psychoshamanism; this work is captured in the feature documentary \u003ci\u003eQuantum Men\u003c\/i\u003e, directed by Carlos Serrano Azcona.[4] \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJerry Frissen (born Thierry Frissen in Belgium) is an American comic book writer and toy \u0026amp; graphic designer. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the recently relaunched comics anthology magazine \u003ci\u003eMetal Hurlant\u003c\/i\u003e in France, as well as the author of several best-selling graphic novels, including the anthology comic book series \u003ci\u003eLucha Libre \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eUnfabulous Five, The Tikitis\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Fire of Theseus, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eExo, Simak, \u003c\/i\u003e and the new cycle of the internationally acclaimed series \u003ci\u003eThe Metabarons, \u003c\/i\u003e co-written with Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon, and Pete Woods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His book \u003ci\u003eThe Zombies That Ate The World, \u003c\/i\u003e illustrated by Guillermo Del Toro collaborator Guy Davis, was recently adapted by RKSS of \u003ci\u003eTurbo Kid \u003c\/i\u003efor the silver screen as \u003ci\u003eWe Are Zombies. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt only 29, Valentin has already been published by Titan Comics (Khaal) and Humanoids (The Metabaron Book 1 \u0026amp; 3). A rising star in the European comics scene, he took up the challenge of following in the footsteps of Juan Gimenez, creating his own version of Jodorowsky's universes: cinematic landscapes and beautiful, realistic fight scenes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNiko Henrichon is a Canadian comic artist most known for \"Pride of Baghdad\" (Vertigo) and \"Noah\" (Image), the former earning him an Eisner nomination for Best Penciller\/Inker.
