Read For Free Week 3: The Metabarons, Strangelands, and Brüssli

Venture from the mundane to the extraordinary with this week's batch of complimentary book—an iconic sci-fi saga, a globe hopping romance, and an all-ages fantasy.  

As part of Humanoids' weekly delivery of free comics, we're excited to deliver one of our most ferocious, transcendent works of science-fiction excellence in the history of the genre: The Metabarons, from the legendary duo of Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Juan Gimenez. Beginning from a character introduced in The Incal and fueled many of the ideas and designs Jodorowksy incubated as the director of a failed Dune cinematic adaptation, The Metabarons is a cosmic saga carved into steel with blood. The initial eight-volume saga details legacy of interstellar near-immortal assassins. This debut entry — Othon & Honorata —introduces  Metabaron Othon Von Salza and the violent birthright that follows. For more on The Metabarons, click here.

Our other free offerings include the first two issues of Strangelands—the character-driven thriller romance from Darcie Little Badger, Magdalene Visaggio, and artist Guillermo Sanna. Adam and Elakshi probably wouldn't spend every waking moment together—except untold destruction would be unleashed if they left each other's side. 

Brüssli, from the minds of writer Jean-Louis Fonteneau and artist, tells the story of the titular boy... who may not be a boy at all. Set in 19th century Europe, this gorgeously-illustrated, vibrant adventure will enthrall readers who are fans of the golden age of animation and whimsical adventures packed with talking wolves, rabbits, and robotic dragons.
