Saga Volume One by Brian K. Vaughan

by 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 […]

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

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 […]

I really can’t believe I’m reviewing my 52nd book of 2018, because I never thought I’d get here. 2018 was a slog, y’all. The funny thing is, I thought it was because I hadn’t read that many great books this year, but that wasn’t true at all–I could barely find a one least favorite for the CBR wrapup post because I had enjoyed almost everything I read. I just couldn’t get into writing the reviews this year. Luckily, I am extremely competitive with myself, and […]

Betrayal. Just, betrayal. That is the main feeling I have at this point. Well, the main feeling in like 75% of my brain. The other 25% understands logically why what happened in this book happened, but that 75%, it is PISSED. Just, how dare you. Maybe it is a good thing that Vaughan and Staples are taking a year-ish hiatus on this series, because my main impulse right now is to go over to their houses, knock all the books off their bookshelves in a […]

Well, thanks a lot for leaving me with further emotional scars for a whole year, Brian!

4.5 stars This is volume 9, it is NOT the place to start the series. Do, however, get to your nearest retailer of comics/graphic novels and buy volume 1, it’s pretty much the best thing out there right now. You won’t regret it. Normally, the volumes of Saga tend to vary between heavy and emotionally wrenching storylines, followed by something a bit more funny, light-hearted and uplifting. Vol 7 ended on a very sad note, and Vol 8 was an exploration of grief and loss and not […]
