A large part of what makes Pax Americana so complex is in its storytelling. It took full advantage of the comic-book medium to tell its story of a conspiracy surrounding the assassination of the President.

Some of the scenes in Pax Americana translate easily into film. Others do not. But it is possible. Some things would just have to be rearrangement.

But its not just the story I as referring to but much more the whole "How" the story is told. The way the scenes play out, the whole booking telling its story in reverse, the idea of infinity. The Story needs to be a comic to work. Only in a comic you can linger on a single picture for as long as you want. only in a comic you can browse back and fourth and start reading whereever you want, then go forward or even go backwards.

In a movie you dont have this much control over how you wanna experience what you are reading. Especially one that is shown in theaters were the audience can not control the movie only watch it.
