Once
he was the legendary enforcer known as the "Angel of
Death," but he's become a wanted man in the eyes of Al
Capone and his own Irish mob. Michael O'Sullivan has no choice
but to go on the run in America's heartland, with his young
son at his side - trailed by bounty hunters whose pasts are
surprisingly entangled with his...
Sanctuary
is
the second of three graphic novels which chart the life of
Michael O'Sullivan and his son as they try to keep out of
the way of the mob and the law. Desperate to avenge the murder
of his wife and youngest son, O'Sullivan sets about parting
the mob from its money - right under its nose.
Compared
to the first book in the series, Sanctuary seems a
bit of a let down. Not a great deal happens and a lot of the
panels feel like unnecessary padding.
The
artwork is great, with a 1920/30s style to it. Also there
a some neat stylistic choices too. For example, whenever the
world of the mob encroaches on Michael Junior, the artist
uses a lot of black that engulfs the character to suggest
the unease that he feels.
As
I mentioned in my review of the first book, I'd much prefer
it if the publisher had released all three books under one
cover. When this collection is completed it will have set
you back almost £20, which is a little steep.
While
this is a good collection, well told, it is just a little
too expensive.
