Everyone seems to love MetaBarons, so that's like another four books.
Me, I thought "Megalex" was even better, and of the three last non-Jodo works, I thought this one was quite solid, if a little open-ended. I.e. we don't get exactly the ending we crave, and like a classic Euro film, the book ends with some things still in motion.
Yeah that seemed like the consensus. Still, I'm a tad wary, the Moebius-Jodorowsly collab was inspired. I'll probably still pick up MetaBarons, but I just can't imagine it having the same charm as the Moebius stuff.
When Moebius is missing, it often gets too one sided imo. Jodo´s restless brutality and Giraud´s calm tenderness were a match made in heaven! They are like Ying and Yang, which makes their collaborations so rich in contrast and interesting.
