Second story of conflict between Metabaron (current one, aka No-Name) and Techno-Techno (man this is funny) sadistic Admiral. Successful in obtaining Metabaron DNA, Admiral creates the clone - Khonrad. As deadly as his genetic source Khonrad gets primed to kill No-Name but soon moral dilemma gets into his way.

Same as before Jodorowsky tell the story that shocks a lot (albeit it has more sense here than in previous issues) and follows the path of the folk hero epics (e.g. being born as grown up man using buffalo/animal).

Art is as great as in volume #1 while story is rather terse - No-name behaving like he has no intention to mess up with ordinary folks any more because he has seen end of everything with his inner-eye. This leads to very short action and story in general sequences - but again, "veni, vidi, vici" seems to be Jadorowski's approach from the start for Metabaron saga.

Recommended to fans of epic SF and Metabarons saga. (
