Graphic novel road to perdition7/7/2023 ![]() Sacrificing the potential depth that was expected of the first (which was sorely lacking in the themery department) On the Road to Perdition could have been better titled On the Road to Filler. As above, so below, and Max learned well at evil Jorge’s alter of lucre and lust. Like SOTE’s ultimate unimportance to the (original) Star Wars Trilogy, as (just another) an avenue to sell more shit, it’s existence was. Seemingly catching a whiff of Lucas’ Shadows of the Empire franchise (the most (only?) recent interquel (that I’m aware of) in pop culture) Collins’ caught and inhaled deeply of those vapors and crafted a tale that is unremarkable in it’s unabashed commerciality. ![]() Smack dab in the middle of Collins’ Tommy-Gun toting era opus is this interquel that tells its own tale, quite literally in the middle of things (in media res for all you Latin scholars out there). ![]() Contrary to what one might expect, On the Road to Perdition is neither a sequel, nor is it a prequel. So, it was quite natural to dig up yet another offering in the series. ![]() In spite of all it’s flaws and underwhelming lack of complexity, I did generally find Road to Perdition to be a worthy read. ![]()
