Megalex, Bd.2, Der missgestaltete Engel

Megalex #2

by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fred Beltran

An original Sci-Fi adventure of rebellion against a totalitarian and oppressive world, as only imagined by master storyteller Alexandro Jodorowsky. On Megalex, the city-planet, the laws of nature are prohibited. The tyrannical order reigns over a renewed population controlled by genetic manipulation. Due to the repeated attacks of the neighboring forest, primitive and impenetrable, the urbanized system in command allowed an 'anomaly,' a clone policeman nearly 10 ft tall, to escape. Guided by Adama, one of the rebels fighting for their freedom, the gentle giant manages to join the camp of the 'objectors' and help them go up against the evil powers of Megalex. Straight from the untamed minds of Alexandro Jodorowsky (The Incal, The Metabarons) and Fred Beltran (Pin-Up Girls From Around the World).

Just a jumble of new characters and ideas that seem drawn from other sources. Cool but somehow feels artificial. Still interesting.

Zohar dharma of heaven oh nirvana

The climax and ain and Esher Ayn etc Ram all hark to Malakim it is beautifully designed and drawn the tree of life and death reflection in the husks. The angels that are from space try to engage a false shadow of the tree or the snake on the cross. I mean harkens to all of these manuscripts I have read and Vedic and yoga... But more so kabballlah! Kingdom of earth taken to the extreme.... Feels like the conclusion to technopreists..... And the giant the ain is a clone of the great witness who was cloned by jelly in incal
