Not a wasted panel, and every bit as good as I’d hoped it would be

Saga (Vol. 1) by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

December 29, 2022 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

As someone on the outside of the comic book world looking in, Saga has always been one of those comics (like Watchmen or Akira) that seems universally loved by fans and respected by critics. So it seems like something I should probably at least give a shot to. And, if this one book is anything to go by, it’s absolutely deserving of that framing. Alana and Marko are from two different, warring, extraterrestrial species. Marko was a prisoner, and Alana was a guard tasked with keeping him […]

“You’ll never understand the way the worlds really work until you surround yourself with people from all sorts of weird backgrounds.”

The Saga re-read continues. I’m still in love with this series. It’s rare to have humor, sorrow, wit, action, adventure, and beautiful drawings married in one text, but this is that text. Volume Four would be my sole four star rated volume, but I am refusing to grade these against themselves, they are collectively some of the best storytelling I have read and will all be given five stars, regardless of swings in execution from volume to volume. That said, while I’m sure that the plot […]

That Didn’t Really Happen.

Saga Vol. 9 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples

October 20, 2021 by Ellesfena 4 Comments

CBR Bingo Category: White Whale Series: Saga. I read (and reviewed) Vol. 1 in 2018. What I remembered about this series prior to reading this book: A lot. Marko and Alana are from a planet and a moon which are at war. They fall in love, have Hazel, become fugitives thanks to their forbidden romance, and a million intergalactic adventures and eccentric characters follow. Why I stopped reading the series: Over the past few years I read Vols. 1-8 fairly quickly, but I’ve had Vol. […]

Family, War and Making a Better Life for Your Kid

Saga book 3 by Brian K. Vaughan Fiona Staples

February 23, 2021 by murderofcrows Leave a Comment

The young narrator of Saga, book 3 is born of parents from two different species engaged in a brutal war. Hazel is now old enough to understand that her family must hide, not only because her mom was a soldier who freed her dad while under her guard, but because her very existence disproves that the two species most definitely can co-exist. The war is a profitable venture for powers far beyond the hero parents and all the other grunts used as fodder on both sides. Hazel […]

A family fighting to find their place in the world

Saga Volume One by Brian K. Vaughan

July 15, 2019 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

#cbr11bingo #Banned/Challenged Books Saga Volume One is classic fantasy meets classic science fiction meets classic graphic novel. We have sex (any kind you could imagine). We have drugs. We have violence (lots of violence). We have bestiality (Yes, boys and girls they went there!). And while I did not see it, I am sure there was some rock and roll but there is so much more. So much more. No wonder this series has been banned! (Again, I do not condone that, but I totally […]

“Honey girl, I don’t care what you do, as long as you’re kind to everyone you meet.”

Saga, Volume 9 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples

June 30, 2019 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

I’ve been putting off reading the latest volume of Saga since I had heard it was devastating and that there would be at least a year hiatus until Vaughan and Staples picked back up working on this. Why sit with whatever terrible, soul crushing experience was waiting for me for over a year when I could just live with not knowing for the same amount of time? Well, I abandoned that perfectly solid plan and gave in to temptation. It was just sitting there in […]
