Megalex

A new journey into the universe of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Meta-Barons. The planet Megalex. Its surface is covered with a giant megacity of concrete and steel. No trees, no animals. Only one Forest remains, which cannot be landscaped, — it is sentient, and it hides outcasts and dissidents. A totalitarian and despotic world. Citizens of Megalex have implanted life span limiters, reproduce only through cloning and under state control. All clones are genetically identical to their models. Any anomaly is immediately destroyed. This has been the case for 4000 years, until the day an anomalous clone of a policeman escaped… Jodorowsky wrote the script for the mangaka Otomo, the creator of Akira, but ultimately his vision was brought to life by the young artist Fred Beltran. The complete edition is an omnibus that includes three issues of the series. A perfect synthesis between stunning realism, enabled by computer technologies, and the pure magic of drawing. Amazing! — Gilbert Jacques Megalex — is a world filled with richly visualized and crazy ideas. Fans of Jodorowsky will want to see it, as well as fans of science fiction in general. — nexuswookie
