Written by Max Allan Collins with art by Richard Piers Rayner, it collects issues from the 2005 DC miniseries that expands on the mob enforcer's path toward redemption and the consequences of his violent past.
In "Book 1: Oasis," Michael O'Sullivan ventures into Kansas City to challenge the Capone gang, testing his limits in a dangerous game of power and revenge. When Connor Looney escapes custody and takes Katie O'Daly hostage, O'Sullivan must confront both his past and the escalating stakes of a war he thought he’d left behind. Written by Max Allan Collins and illustrated with sharp precision by José Luis García-López, with inks by Steve Lieber and letters by Rob Leigh, this issue deepens the tension as the O'Sullivans flee once more—bound by loyalty, loss, and the road ahead. The cover, by Steve Lieber, captures the weight of their journey in a single, haunting image.
In "Book 2: Sanctuary" from Road to Perdition #2, Michael O'Sullivan's relentless pursuit of vengeance against Connor Looney takes a deadly turn when Frank Nitti dispatches the Two Jacks to eliminate him. As the Jacks close in, a brutal ambush forces Michael and his family into an uneasy alliance with their would-be killers—only to face a new threat in Vernon Doolittle, who brings the fragile truce to a breaking point.
In "Book Three: Detour" from Road to Perdition #2, Michael O'Sullivan turns his focus to Kansas City’s underworld, targeting the Capone gang to shift the balance of power. When Connor Looney breaks free from Frank Nitti’s custody and takes O'Sullivan’s past lover, Katie O'Daly, hostage, the hunt becomes personal. As O'Sullivan rescues Katie, the Two Jacks reclaim Looney and deliver him back to Nitti—setting the stage for a new chapter on the road, with the O'Sullivans once more bound by danger and the past.
