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.

Humanoids has revealed an exclusive first look at The Incal: Dying Star, a brand new original graphic novel set in the universe of the legendary sci fi epic created by visionaries Alejandro Jodorowosky and Mœbius. Acclaimed author Dan Watters, artist Jon Davis-Hunt, and letterer Troy Peteri bring to life the tragic yet hopeful story of Commander Kaimann who leads a desperate mission of revenge while a millennium away, a Sister of Entropy faces certain death. Available in stores May 9.

Things are not going well for Commander Kaimann. The love of his life is dead, his home planet destroyed, his crew are ghostly apparitions, and his crocodilian mutation is taking over more and more of his body. Just as all hope may be lost, a chance encounter with a strange artifact connects him to Aurora, a fearless Sister of Entropy staring down almost certain destruction.

His passions renewed, Kaimann hatches a bold plan to find a cure for his mutation and secure a future with his newfound love. But Kaimann’s past is catching up with him, and Aurora faces imminent doom at the hands of an invading enemy fleet. Will love triumph… or will all fall to the rot and the worm?

The Incal: Dying Star graphic novel will be available in bookstores everywhere on May 9, 2023 and in comic shops on May 10, 2023.

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.
