THE METABARON BOOK 4 The Bastard & The Proto-Guardianess

In this new and long-awaited installment of the classic Incal spin-off series, writer Jerry Frissen and artist Pete Woods put the Metabaron through his greatest challenge yet. This long-awaited fourth installment focuses on the greatest warrior the universe has ever known, the very last Metabaron No Name, and his fight against his own legacy. The Metabaron series is part of the universe of The Incal — which is soon to be a major motion picture from Taika Waiti (Thor Ragnarok, JoJo Rabbit, Our Flag Means Death). It is the destiny of every Metabaron to pass down his title through the honor of being bested by his son in mortal combat. But the Metabaron No Name has become overcome with fear, and his son Adal is far from honorable. As the son seeks to destroy the father who abandoned him, the universe’s supply of the life giving substance epiphyte -- and therefore all of existence itself -- hangs in the balance. “The Metabarons is truly passion writ large. There are moments in it that are right up there with classics like Gilgamesh and Beowulf. The combined work…is, to my mind, the greatest work of graphic fiction every produced.” - David S. Goyer, writer and producer of Batman v. Superman, Batman Begins
