This edition collects the entire four volume collection of The Metabaron in one book for the first time. The Techno Empire’s cruel reign and boundless ambition have the universe in a chokehold, but one obstacle remains before them: The Metabaron. The Metabaron once single-handedly brought the Techno-Techno Empire to its knees. 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? Born on the pages of Moebius and Jodorowsky’s legendary The Incal, the mighty Metabaron has been starring in his own spinoff stories since 1992. Now, The Metabaron returns as a collaboration between Jodorowsky and Jerry Frissen (Fires of Theseus, The Zombies That Ate the World), exhibiting the work of an all-star lineup of international artists: Valentin Secher, Niko Henrichon, and Pete Woods.
