All Roads is a Fallout graphic novel written by Chris Avellone. The cover artists are Geof Darrow and Peter Doherty (colors), while the interior artists are Jean Diaz and Wellinton Alves. The art style changes when focus is shifted to another character.

It tells the story of some of the characters and events in the week that leads up to Fallout: New Vegas. It was created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics and a hardcover copy is included in the collector's edition of the game.

Avellone's previous experience in comics includes five stories for Dark Horse's Star Wars Tales anthology comic and Clone Wars Adventures digest comic.

Story
The story takes place a week before the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Benny, the leader of The Chairmen, is preparing to leave The Tops casino for business, discussing a recent murder of a singer with his right-hand man Swank. The singer was killed by Swank using poison, which Benny takes with him.

Benny meets up with some of the Great Khans whom he is paying to escort him to intercept the Courier. Among the Great Khans are Jessup, McMurphy, and Chance, a mute, towering man who suffers from both drug addiction and trauma after the massacre at Bitter Springs. The group heads down south from Red Rock canyon.

On their way, they encounter a small Tribal Village that is ravaged by Fiends. Initially, the group is willing to avoid the encounter, but Chance is driven berserk by the sight of fire reminiscent of Bitter Springs. He heads into battle armed only with his knife, unwillingly forcing the group to aid him. They win the battle, however, Chance is badly burned and near death. McMurphy and Jessup ponder giving Chance some of the drugs they looted from the Fiends to make him live longer, Benny asks him if he wants to end his life to be with the ones who died at Bitter Springs. Benny leaves him the poison he got from Swank, which before was used to kill a singer who, like Chance, couldn't let go of his past. Chance decides to take it, in an effort to return to the times before Bitter Springs, and dies as a result.

McMurphy and Jessup bury Chance, and they head further south with Benny, finding themselves at Goodsprings Cemetery... and close to the Courier.
