Kill Wolfhead Gets Killed in New Incal Graphic Novel

Posted on by

Humanoids has revealed an exclusive new look at The Incal: Kill Wolfhead, an irreverent and twisted tale of revenge, romance, and recollections featuring the fan-favorite rogue from Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius’ seminal sci fi epic The Incal—Kill Wolfhead—in a brand new original story from highly acclaimed writer Brandon Thomas, artist Pete Woods, and letterer Troy Peteri.

Kill Wolfhead has been called many things in his long, storied life—Lover (Galaxy’s Greatest), Fighter (Freedom and Otherwise), Entrepreneur (Five Franchises and Counting), and Intergalactic Hero (He saved the universe! Twice! At least!). But you don’t live that kind of life without making some enemies… And those enemies are now out for blood.

The Incal: Kill Wolfhead will be available in bookstores everywhere on October 17, 2023 and in comic shops on October 18, 2023. Digital copies can be purchased from comiXology and other digital platforms.

While Abel travels the arid West in the company of Lilith and bows to her desires, the men of the terrible Colonel capture them, because the Colonel demands punishment before returning to the Holy Island…

His passions renewed, Kaimann hatches a bold plan to find a cure for his mutation and secure a future with his newfound love.

Exclusive Preview: Jodorowsky’s The Technopriests

Posted on by

On November 15 Humanoids will publish The Incal: Psychoverse by Mark Russell and Yanick Paquette, the shocking and explosive prequel to the legendary and best-selling Incal saga by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Mœbius. Also in November, Humanoids will be publishing some fantastic Incal-related titles from their backlist all written by Jodorowsky: The Incal: Deluxe Edition, Technopriests, and The Deluxe Megalex.

We’ve got an exclusive excerpt from Jordowsky’s Technopriests and get a look at The Incal: Psychoverse!

THE TECHNOPRIESTS

Hardcover Trade
November 1, 2022
Alejandro Jodorowsky, Zoran Janjetov & Fred Beltran

The cosmic adventures of a young boy on his path to ridding the galaxy of an insidious technological plague.

After the Greek tragedy of “The Metabarons,” Alexandro Jodorowsky comes back to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of Moses and set on a galactic scale. To top it off, the characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov (“Before The Incal”), who finds in Jodorowsky his perfect match. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.

Humanoids To Publish All New Graphic Novels in The Incal Universe

Posted on by

The Incal by legendary writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and internationally acclaimed artist Mœbius was a shot across the bow of graphic storytelling, an epic explosion of staggering art, mind-blowing worldbuilding, and ambitious plotting that combined to make one of the most influential comics of all time. Now, 42 years after its initial publication—and with a major movie adaptation in the works from award-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi—Humanoids will publish all-new original graphic novels in The Incal Universe, building on the original, seminal graphic novel. Next May Humanoids will publish the Free Comic Book Day: The Incal Universe Special, which previews three new titles: Psychoverse by Mark Russell and Yanick Paquette; Dying Star by Dan Watters and Jon Davis-Hunt; and Kill Wolfhead by Brandon Thomas and Pete Woods.

The Incal is widely regarded as one of the great achievements of the comics medium, and is the highest-selling science fiction graphic novel of all time.

In The Incal, John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate, dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient, mystical artifact called “the Incal.” Difool’s adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy’s greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope. These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe.

Humanoids will be releasing more details about The Incal Universe graphic novels in the months ahead.
