Oh, now I’m sad. I’ve read all my Saga and now I have to wait until September. Like the rest of everybody. That’s the problem with really loving something in the moment—you catch up and you can’t binge read/watch it. Blargh. Volume 4 takes place a few years after the events of the third. By now, … [Read more]

SAGA x3!!!
I can’t imagine how torturous it must have been to read Saga as the issues and volumes were released.

The “sequel” to Oedipus, the action is much more condensed and the theme is much clearer. That being said, there is a lot lost. Antigone is the daughter of … [Read more]
