Los Borgia by Alejandro Jodorowsky5/22/2023 I’ve never read anything about the Borgias prior to this graphic novel, but I had the same basic knowledge about them that I’m sure many of you do: they were a strong family in a time of powerful dynasties, and the fact that we remember their name is testament to that. Okay, warning out of the way, let’s get down to brass tacks. Basically I’m just saying you might want to reconsider reading this one on the subway or anywhere easily offended people or non-parented small children might be tempted to read over your shoulder (learned that lesson the hard way when a kid started reading Saga over my shoulder on the F train, and I am passing that pro tip onto you, our beloved readers). Dark Horse categorizes this as a book for adult audiences and with good reason. But for people with no frame of reference for this family (I can only assume you’ve been living under a rock), you’re going to want to watch who you read this around. I mean, it’s the Borgias, for FSM’s sake, and if you know anything about that family, have seen any movies or TV shows about them, you would know this. I have to preface my review about this graphic novel with a warning: it is not for those easily offended.
