Review
"...this is one of those works that simply cannot be appropriately distilled into a review. It’s far too grand and something that quite literally needs to be seen and held in order to be appreciated as it was intended. "
- All-Comic.com
"There is, then, in 'Final Incal,' no hint of a dulling of the edge, nor any softening of Jodorowsky’s aesthetic. The maestro still delights in shocking his audience; he still loves mutations and deformity, but he is also willing to be utterly brazen in delivering an alarmingly naďve message (only true love can save us from turning into unfeeling metallic beings, man) just as he was completely unembarrassed about introducing us to a giant golden god-baby at the end of the original 'Incal'. "

"Ladrönn’s artwork is nothing short of awe-inspiring. No detail is spared... I can think of no artist I would have rather have rendered it – including Mœbius himself by the time this book was made."
- FloridaGeekScene.com
"'Final Incal' is Jodorowsky at his mad, imaginative best, and fans of ‘The Incal’ are sure to enjoy plunging headfirst back into the world of John DiFool."
