Juan Giménez (1943–2020)

This is story of entity created through uncontrolled experiment that merged 4 women with extraordinary psychic powers into single being. That very soon gets out of control (like you expected something else here eh :))

There are several stories here that follow this energy being as it tries to evade its creators and their adversaries (that wont the creature for the same goal, to use it as a weapon).

Woven in this story is constant joking and ridicule of modern society - wars fought far away from the motherland, amoral experiments for the greater good, corrupt politicians letting mercenaries engage in gladiatorial battles to prove the value of this or other military equipment producer (aka sponsors).

Very interesting book, art is just beautiful and level of details is astonishing.

Highly recommended to any SF fan.… (more)

Despite my rating, The Metabarons is not a bad comics at all, but not for every reader. Its wildly imaginative with stunning visuals, interesting characters and quite an atmosphere that makes reader intrigued and curious, but on the other side everything but the main story does not really make any sense (science fiction that does not even try to imagine 'future', instead delivers some sort of medieval society with lasers, psychic powers and metal weapons ???!! I've stopped reading when author introduced giant leviathan-like animal that could somehow live in the vacuum of the outer space and was used as a spaceship) and the story is rather.. lets say I wasn't really drawn by it. But if you like pure imagination without bounds and don't mind mixing sci-fi with swords and sorcery then by all means give it a try.… (more)
