Metabarons Genesis: Castaka

In Metabarons Genesis: Castaka (2016–present, Humanoids), the prequel to the sprawling Metabarons saga opens with a single, self-contained issue that plants the seeds of a legendary warrior dynasty. Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Das Pastoras, this inaugural chapter traces the origins of the Castaka clan, setting the stage for the brutal, operatic space opera that follows. It matters as the foundational piece of Jodorowsky’s larger mythos, offering a concentrated glimpse into the bloodline that would shape the galaxy.
