In Saga: Volume 3, everybody’s heading for the planet Quietus. If you’re wondering why that should be worrisome, google “Quietus” and see what comes up.
Yeah. It’s that kind of story.
Some stuff this book is concerned with:
How to make a life for your family while on the run from two governments.
Finding love after a loss.
Relatedly, getting over a break-up in rather extreme ways.
Violence only begetting more violence.
The real threat of Marko and Alana is not that they betrayed their respective people. It’s that their respective people don’t want others to know about them and get ideas about just who their enemies are, and that there are other options than killing them.
And the opposite of war is not peace. SPOILER: it’s fucking.
