After seeing the new Dune and then the Jodorowsky doc and rereading some collected Moebiuses I acquired a while back, I got a bit excited asked for The Incal for Xmas. Luckily I didn't go overboard with the pre/sequels or metabarons as, we'll, it's not very good. Inane, overstuffed and repetitive without any of the charm of, say, the Edena stories.

Moebius is an unimpeachable talent but yeah, he has so much output and story-wise, often weak

Yeah it’s lovely but boring and the ending is Lost-levek dumb
I think he’s a bit like Kirby, I look at the pictures and ignore the words. I liked Blueberry tho

Even if that floats your boat I wouldn't recommend the Humanoids 2020 paperback edition - the text is so thin and small I could barely read it except in the strongest light (lol old but I didn't think my eyesight was that bad); and the introduction is fatuous, vapid, and sexist (hmm maybe it's a good fit after all).
