I remember reading the Metabarons about a decade ago and it just felt so ad-hoc. Wild sci-fi ideas, sure, but it elicited zero empathy for the characters. Image's Prophet reboot was the same. Great, bizzare ideas but zero emotional stakes or connection to any of the characters. Basically Tenet as opposed to Inception/Interstellar. This is exactly why I enjoy Paco Roca's work so much, because it really puts characters first. I did like the recent Metabaron v1-3 much more than any of the Jodorowsky written stuff.
