“The happiest families I ever met were all frayed…but they were also tighter than a hangman’s noose.”

Saga (Volume 7) by Brian K Vaughan

December 31, 2022 by ardaigle 3 Comments

I’m still a million years behind in Saga and this will be the last installment I read for 2022, which is quite the note to end on. As it’s the tale end of the holiday season and I still have Christmas on my brain, to sum up my feelings I will steal from the immortal words of Kevin McCallister as he looks at Buzz’s girlfriend’s photograph, “Woof.” This installment of the series is a doozy. Hazel has finally been reunited with her family and they […]

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 […]

What Ever Happened to Baby Darren?

Public Secrets by Nora Roberts

December 20, 2022 by Pooja 2 Comments

After being rescued from her abusive mother, Emma goes on to live a charmed life with her father and his wife – at least until a tragedy befalls the whole family. This is an older Nora, and one I picked up because the premise reminded me of those family saga/career girl dramas from the 80s that I love, and indeed I wasn’t disappointed in that regard. In many ways this is a coming-of-age story for Emma, and there was plenty of drama and excess to […]

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

Saga: Volume Four by Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Fiona Staples (artist)

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 […]

I’m working on a re-read of the Saga before I indulge myself in the latest, Volume 10, now that Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples are back from their sabbatical. It’s been four years since I last cracked these books, but I was immediately pulled back into the world that Vaughan’s writing and Staples’ beautiful art bring so vividly to life. Its easy to remember why this series possesses so many awards (seriously, its got Harvey Awards, a Hugo Award, British Fantasy Award, Goodreads Choice […]

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. […]
