A review by lesley
The Borgias by Gabriel Bá, Milo Manara, Katie LaBarbera, Fábio Moon, Alejandro Jodorowsky

2.0

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.
