Update on the Kickstarter tour guide?

That’s the same Royalboiler book that I mentioned it in this post. 

I hope you like it when it’s finally printed.

hey brandon, whatever happened to the royalboiler sketchbook collection? i think i do remember seeing the solicit on amazon or smth, was it pushed back a few months/year(s)?

It’ll be out in 

Fall 2018. 

The publisher (image comics) suggested that I wait to release it until then so it didn’t interfere with the 2nd Multiple Warheads trade (which will be out 

out SUMMER 2018)

Have you read Metabarons? and if so would you recommend it?

I’m not a huge fan of it. 

A lot about the writing in it bothers me– It’s narrated by a pair of obnoxious robots “oh no! my diodes can’t take this story!”  & it feels like Jodorowsky is just writing stream of consciousness with resolves to story problems just coming out of nowhere.  

I will say, Juan Gimenez is unarguably an fantastic illustrator. His work on the series alone might make it worth getting a copy for. 

 It’s my theory that Jodorowsky works much better within the limits of film than he does with the freedom of comics. I think about the man with no arms and the man with no legs in El Topo and how he had to find real humans to pull that off. 

I think If it wasn’t tied to the legacy of Metal Hurlant & Moebius I would give it an easier pass- I mean,just looking through pages again now, I’m blown away by how pretty it is. 

People compare Prophet a lot to it, so that might be where some of my dismissal comes from, I had the same high stakes when I read Tekkonkinkreet after hearing my King city compared to it so many times.
