IT WAS A COMIC FIRST: Road to Perdition

Episode 42 - Road to Perdition This week we find ourselves in between Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and so we are trying something completely different, with a new segment called IT WAS A COMIC FIRST, where we take a look at a comic book movie that most folks probably wouldn’t think of as a “comic book movie.” Our first entry in this is the fantastic graphic novel ROAD TO PERDITION and the 2002 film based on it.
