The central conflict in this story has a malefic intelligence (how do you pronounce "Benthacodon"?) attempt to exterminate all organic life on Earth 2014, "cloning" humans into metal androids, while a lethal virus destroys their old bodies. In typical comic book fashion, the stakes quickly escalate from city-shaft to planet to universe to multiverse. Setting aside the metaphysical backdrop, the villains here reminded me of Doctor Who's Cybermen.
The divine Incal itself is largely concerned to perform matchmaking between John DiFool and Luz de Garra as a way of somehow producing an antidote to the evil plague. For most of the story, Luz is cold to John, which is understandable, since he mostly just whines around her. In his initial quest for her, DiFool is amusingly multiplied with variants from other universes, so that he is analyzed into four characters of base fool, adonis, swami, and angel (92). Jodo's allegory was less than transparent here, and I don't know whether he was referencing cabalistic parts of the soul, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, or something else.
The Final title is misleading, inasmuch as Jodorowsky explicitly said he intended to write further in the Incal setting, and in fact later materials have appeared by him and other other authors.
