Difool’s the kind of character who grows on you like mold—grudgingly, but with weird affection. In 'The Incal,' he’s a hot mess: greedy, lazy, and way out of his depth. Yet that’s why he works. The story throws him into biblical-scale chaos, and his reactions are hilariously human. Remember when he tries to sell the Incal for cash? Peak Difool. What’s brilliant is how the plot twists his flaws into virtues—his selfishness becomes survival instinct, his skepticism saves him from dogma. Even the title’s a joke: he’s no epic hero, just a schmuck who lucked into saving existence. Classic.
'The Incal' is this trippy blend of philosophy and pulp, and John Difool is its perfect centerpiece. He’s a loser with a heart—sort of—who accidentally becomes the key to saving the universe. The irony? He spends half the time trying to ditch the responsibility. His design screams '80s noir meets space opera,' and his voice (in my head, at least) is all sarcasm and panic. What stuck with me is how the story uses his flaws as strengths; his ignorance makes him adaptable, his cowardice makes him relatable. Plus, that dynamic with the Incal itself—a mystical object he neither understands nor wants—is pure gold. The whole thing feels like a cosmic joke where Difool’s the punchline, but he somehow stumbles into heroism anyway.
John Difool’s name says it all: he’s a fool, but he’s also the fool—the one who dances through chaos while fate laughs. In 'The Incal,' he starts as a sleazy detective in a decaying world, but the moment he picks up that glowing artifact, his life spirals into madness. I love how Jodorowsky layers his arc with mythology; Difool’s not just a guy, he’s a symbol of transformation. The Metabaron calls him worthless, the Animah sees potential, and Difool? He just wants a drink. His journey’s packed with wild visuals—Moebius’ art elevates his every stumble—but it’s the small moments, like his bond with Deepo, that hit hardest. By the end, you realize the real conspiracy was the friends he made along the way (and also the galactic war).
If you haven't dived into 'The Incal: The Epic Conspiracy,' you're missing out on one of the wildest sci-fi journeys ever. The main character is John Difool, a down-on-his-luck private investigator who stumbles into a cosmic mess way above his pay grade. He's not your typical hero—more like a cynical, foul-mouthed everyman who'd rather avoid trouble but keeps getting dragged into it. What makes him fascinating is how his journey mirrors classic archetypes while subverting them—think 'The Fool' from tarot, but with a neon-lit, dystopian twist.
Jodorowsky and Moebius crafted Difool as this chaotic force, bouncing between absurd humor and deep existential crises. The supporting cast—like the Metabaron or Deepo—add layers to his growth, but Difool's messy humanity anchors the story. The way he evolves (or doesn’t) across the series is a masterclass in character writing. Honestly, I’d kill for a modern adaptation that does justice to his grimy charm.

As the son of Zephyr and Avani, Ancalagon is the last pure dragon. Because of his time in a scientist’s laboratory, he not only has the air and earth elements, but also fire and water, making him the only dragon in history to have all four elements. However, the scientist created a flaw in Ancalagon's DNA. If he isn’t claimed by his mate, he could lose his humanity.
Eliane is the daughter of Oliver, the scientist who tortured Ancalagon. She, herself, was experimented on, never seeing the outdoors until the night the dragons came for Ancalagon. When Ancalagon tried to rescue her, Oliver snatched her away and for months he tortured her in the same way that he'd tortured Ancalagon. Eventually, Eliane believed that Ancalagon left her to suffer at her father's hands.
When she finally escapes, Eliane runs, trying to hide from all supernaturals. She begins having blackouts, large periods of time where she has no recollection of what happens to her. It’s during one of these blackouts, that she meets Snow, another dragon. They become friends and begin helping each other, protecting each other from the bad hybrids who are hunting them.
When Snow shifts, telling Elianne that his name is Iniko, he leaves a strange mark on her, his image over her heart. It forges a deeper connection between them and when the bad hybrids capture him, she runs to the elemental dragons for help.
What will happen when Ancalagon realizes that his brother has been claimed by his mate? How will Eliane react when she realizes that Ancalagon has been searching for her all this time. Will she be able to heal his broken DNA and help him regain his humanity, or will she leave him, breaking what's left of Ancalagon?
Zephyr is the last air dragon in existence. For a century and a half, she has searched for her mate. Finally, she decides to have a true dragon with Avani, the last earth dragon and only remaining male dragon. Her son, Ancalagon, is the last of the pure dragons.
Ishir is a Bengal tiger shifter. He became friends with Avani before he was captured and placed into an Arena. There he met Tana, the fire dragon. He befriended her, her hybrid daughter and eventually her Lycan mate. He has been working to rescue shifters and sometimes even missing humans as his job for years. It was during a meeting to discuss taking down a new Arena that Ishir met Zephyr and realized that he was mated to a dragon.
When Zephyr recognizes Ishir as her mate, she refuses to acknowledge him. After all this time, she finally finds her mate when she’s just had her son. But a dragon can’t stay away from their mate, and in a moment of weakness, she goes to Ishir, spending a night of passion more intense than anything she could have imagined.
However, when she returns home, she finds that her son has been kidnapped, taken by hunters. She begins searching for him, half crazed to protect him from the people who so willingly kill shifters.
When she finally finds her son, Oliver, the lead hunter makes an agreement with Zephyr. She will work for him in exchange for her son’s life. Now Zephyr will have to go against her very nature, becoming an assassin to kill those she is sworn to protect in order to save her son.
Can Ishir find Ancalagon, protect the shifters and save Zephyr from herself, or will she lose herself to save her son?

Will Harley help them out and prove she IS a member of the family after all or is the outlaw biker lifestyle just not for her?
Alaric Thorn was just a blacksmith in the 12th century—a husband, a father, a simple man.
Until the day everything was taken from him.
His wife murdered.
His daughters stolen.
And he himself slaughtered, powerless to protect the people he loved.
But death did not end his story.
Dragged into a supernatural realm after dying, Alaric made a desperate bargain:
power in exchange for completing a mission in the future.
A mission he did not understand.
He returned to Earth centuries later—only to realize his revenge no longer existed.
Four hundred years had passed.
His family long gone.
Their killer long dead.
And Alaric… could no longer die.
Cursed with immortality, he wandered through ages and empires, trying every possible way to end his life—failing each time. All he wanted was to go back in time and fix what he had lost.
But when he finally stepped into a time machine, fate betrayed him again.
Instead of the past…
Alaric was thrown into another realm entirely—a brutal world crawling with monsters, ancient races, and system-like powers. Here, strength must be earned through blood, each battle pushing him closer to awakening his true potential.
In this realm, he is no longer just a wanderer.
He is a rising lord.
A conqueror.
A man destined to build an empire strong enough to challenge a king—
a king who bears the same name as the monster who destroyed his life on Earth.
As Alaric fights beasts, defeats tyrants, and gathers allies and armies, he discovers the truth behind the mission he accepted centuries ago:
To reclaim his fate…
To break his immortal curse…
To rewrite the destiny stolen from him…
He must rise as the Immortal King.
The true master of the Dark Realm he was fated to rule.
He was a warrior. He was meant to protect the King and the Kingdom. His name brought the fear for life in warriors across the world. What he never thought he would become was the High King of two Emperors. Their Warrior, Their Saviour, Their Partner, Their Husband. He became all of it.
The Seelie Royal Council rules the Elphame Fae Realm with an iron grip, their hunger for wealth and power never satisfied. Princess Leora, once heir to the throne, now lives in exile among humans—a warrior forced to hide her strength, a born leader reduced to invisibility. The Human Realm holds her captive as surely as any dungeon.
When Yaris Winterborn and Connor Andor received their assignment, they understood the stakes. Soul-brothers forged since childhood, they alone were trusted to retrieve the princess and return her to an Elphame now unrecognizable from the kingdom of her childhood memories.
Dodging assassins' blades has a way of forging bonds. As the three navigate ancient prophecies and buried truths, unexpected heat flares between them—something far beyond mere attraction. Their intertwined fates may be exactly what the legends foretold... or the spark that ignites Elphame's final conflagration.
The main character in 'The Incal, Vol. 2: The Luminous Incal' is John Difool, this down-on-his-luck private investigator who stumbles into cosmic chaos. He's not your typical hero—more like a reluctant everyman dragged into saving the universe. What I love about him is how flawed he is; he’s grumpy, selfish, and often clueless, but that makes his journey so compelling. The way Moebius and Jodorowsky craft his growth through the series is brilliant. By the second volume, you start seeing glimmers of something greater in him, even if he’s still tripping over his own feet.
What’s wild is how the story dives into themes of destiny and transformation. Difool’s surrounded by these larger-than-life figures like the Metabaron or the Emperoress, yet he’s the one holding the Incal, this godlike artifact. The contrast between his scrappy personality and the grandeur of the plot is what keeps me hooked. Plus, the art? Stunning. Every panel feels like a dive into some psychedelic dreamscape where Difool’s just trying not to get swallowed by the madness.
Inalcan’s main characters are a fascinating bunch, each bringing their own flavor to the story. At the center is Rael, this fiery warrior with a chip on his shoulder—think 'Berserk' meets 'Vinland Saga,' but with more sarcasm. He’s got this tragic backstory involving a destroyed homeland, which fuels his relentless drive. Then there’s Lysara, the quiet, mysterious mage who barely speaks but when she does, it’s either profound or terrifying. Her magic isn’t flashy like 'Fairy Tail'; it’s subtle, almost eerie, like something out of 'Made in Abyss.'
Rounding out the trio is Kiron, the rogue with a heart of gold—or at least, bronze. He’s the comic relief but also the glue holding the group together, kinda like Zoro from 'One Piece' if he were less focused and more prone to stealing snacks. The dynamic between them is what makes 'Inalcan' so addictive; Rael’s intensity clashes with Lysara’s stoicism, while Kiron’s antics keep things from getting too dark. There’s also a rotating cast of side characters, like the enigmatic merchant Vexis, who pops up at the worst (or best) times, but the core trio carries the emotional weight. I love how their relationships evolve—no instant friendships here, just grudging alliances that slowly deepen.
