Intensely sexual, and high on violence, sumptuous artwork transports you to 15th Century Italy. The pace is fast as Rodrigo Borgia plots his family into power, facing resistance within and without.

Laughingly ridiculous most of the time, this graphic novel is very loosely based on the historical Borgia family. Over the top in every way you have to take this graphic novel as it is to enjoy it at all. Most of the content of this graphic novel is simply gratuitous, seemingly for the sake of being gratuitous. For example, King Charles VIII of France did not actually die in a lava flow whilst having his way with a prostitute and why Jodorowsky had him die in such a way must mean something to him but I think the way he actually died, by running into a door lintel, would have done just fine.

El oh-por-dios-este-tipo-está-loco Jodorowsky se alía con el maestro del arte erótico (por no decir pornografía) Milo Manara para traer la historia de una de las familias más controversiales de la historia. El resultado es como podría esperarse. Tiene, por su puesto, bastantes libertades históricas, la más divertida es cuando sale da Vinci. Como siempre, las acuarelas de Manara son excelentes y salvo algunos problemas en cuanto a ritmo, es una buena historia.
