Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

Saga Vol 7, but also all the rest in spirit

Saga Vol 7 by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

I can’t tell you what Saga is about. I wonder if anyone can really sum it up in a few sentences to catch everyone up. I couldn’t imagine trying to watch this as a tv show because of this weird kind of disjointedness. One of the effects of having fifty different stories being told simultaneously and from multiple times in the future is the kind of fracturedness we get in this series. Because of this nature and the nature of its subject matter, the confluence of about fifty different alien cultures, there’s just a strangeness to it. Each time a collection gets […]

Saga, Vol. 7

Saga, Vol. 7 by Fiona Staples & Brian K. Vaughan

by Leave a Comment

Every time a new volume of Saga comes out, it turns into a race between my wife and I to see who can check it out first from the library.  She beat me this time.  Luckily, she’s good enough not to react too vocally to what’s happening so that by the time I have a chance to read it, there’s not a lot I feel I can predict. Vol. 7 is getting the plot back on track. I had a complaint about this regarding Vol. 6. After several volumes of meandering through several plot lines, they are all starting to […]

Full dark, no stars.

Saga: Volume 7 by Brian K Vaughn and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

I, like pretty much everyone else in the world, love this series. It is one of the few books I have ever pre-ordered, but my mind is like a sieve, so I was very surprised when it suddenly arrived in my mailbox. Vaughn and Staples’ Volume 7 is dark. This is a dark series – there is always something going wrong for Alana and Marko, but this one felt particularly hopeless. It starts off on a high note – the family is reunited and expanded, developing a close relationship with another refugee family on a war torn comet. We also […]

At least I got more Lying Cat in this one

Saga, vol 7 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

This is volume 7 of an ongoing series. It’s not the place to start. There is no question that any person of good taste should be reading Saga, but you should start at the beginning with volume 1. I suppose that because the last volume made me very happy, this one was going to make me sad. Damn you, Vaughn and Staples and the emotional roller coaster you send me on. Temporarily stranded on Phang, a tiny comet that Wreath and Landfall have been battling it out over (like they battle for everything else), Elena, Marko and their little family […]

Saga’s Back! Tell a friend!

Saga, Volume 7 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

Each time I read a volume of Saga, I quickly look on Amazon to see when the next volume is going to be released. The minute the next volume is available for pre-order, I furiously check my library catalog to see if it’s logged into the system. And then I wait. Apparently, my library got an advanced copy or something, because I was able to read Volume 7 before its supposed release date with Amazon. Hooray! Of course, that means another painful wait. What are you going to do? I am not going to give a plot summary review at […]

Tim Kaine is a Lying Cat (no, really). Or, I talk politics and Saga at once.

Saga, Volume 6 by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan

by Leave a Comment

Everyone has already reviewed this volume of Saga, so there’s not too much I can add. Also, I read it so long ago, that Volume 7 *must* be on its way out, right? Right? I digress. [ETA: March 28, 2017, according to Amazon. THAT’S SO LONG TO WAIT, CAN WE GET A KICKSTARTER GOING] I don’t know how much my review will add to the discussion, but I plan to give it my best shot. But can I just say, that THIS is my personal favorite review title: “I find your lack of Lying Cat Disturbing.” +10 to maydays for […]

Can I have the next one now, please?

Saga, volume 6 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

July brought another volume of Saga and there was great rejoicing in the Patterson household (well, at least from me, the husband is still a few books behind. I honestly have no idea where his priorities are). The action has jumped ahead a few years since we last saw our band of plucky protagonists, and Hazel is now living with her grandmother in a detention centre on Landfall, and she’s going to kindergarten and making friends her own age for the first time. She’s becoming a proper little person of her own, fully aware that she is an individual with […]

I find your lack of Lying Cat disturbing

Saga, Volume 6 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by 8 Comments

I learned of this series in a comment from emmalita and I’m very grateful!  I TORE through Volumes 1-5 last year, trading volumes with my best reading buddy.  It’s the last time I remember staying up until 2am to read.  This is my first time reading a graphic novel series, and I’m still blown away by the art and the ability to convey so much story in each frame. I reviewed Volume 5 before diving in, which was a good idea after a long break.  This is a space opera, continuing the tale of lovers from warring worlds, Marko and Alana […]
