There's an awful lot of crap in the graphic novel world, but it's strangely wonderful little gems like Saga, Vol. 1 that make rummaging through the rest of it feel completely worth the effort. This first volume is a bizarre, imaginative and very funny beginning to what I'm hoping will be a fantastic series. I've read bits here and there of Vaughan's work in the past but this is the first one to make me need to see what else he has in store for us. I honestly have no idea how he comes up with thi...
(A-) 83% | Very GoodNotes: Brazenly bizarre, creativity's the star, every character's distinct, fleshed-out seamlessly succinct, fine like sci-fi caviar.
This universe looks so cool. I can't stop staring at the characters and the vivid worlds. It's gorgeous. However, the plot itself isn't as unique or fleshed out, and there are quite a few upsetting moments. For example, the unnecessary use of the "r" word. (view spoiler)[Also, using a six-year-old child forced into prostitution as a device to show that our bounty hunter is really a "good guy"? Why??? (hide spoiler)]It is often vulgar with explicit sex scenes, strong language, gore, and violence....
5 Awesomely Raunchy Sci-Fi StarsThis was only my second graphic novel ever, so obviously I’m no expert; but this was seriously entertaining as fuck and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I am totally a new fan.Give me more.
Me at 1 AM:Hmmm, a few pages before bed won't hurt, I'll just read the first chapter for now.Me at 3:30 AM:HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I NEED THE SECOND BOOK AT ONCE(note that this is a school night)(because no biggie)(#noragretz)One word to sum it all up: unfuckingputdownable.
The art. The story. The whole Goddamn thing. Blowing a huge insurmountable tornado of fresh air into science-fiction, comic books AND storytelling this is SAGA!Hazel the narrator starts the story - oh, the art! - on the war torn planet of Cleave where she has just been born to inter-species couple Marko (renounced violence) and Alana (pretty good at violence) - damn, the art! - when all Hell breaks loose on the hotly hunted couple!This is Hazel's weird and wonderful - oh man, the artwork! - stor...
Oh my goodness. I need the next one immediately. Loved the story, artwork and premise. Didn't love some of the language. Review to come. -------FINALLY READING THIS. \(^o^)/
Some of the elements in Saga:1) Star crossed lovers who were soldiers in opposing armies of an intersteller war who have a baby and are being hunted by both sides. 2) A royal family comprised of humanistic robots with TVs for heads.3) Magic4) Ghosts.5) A bounty hunter with a giant cat that acts as a lie detector.6) A forest that grows wooden rocketshipsAnd that’s just the start.I’m a huge fan of Vaughan’s Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina so no surprise that I loved this. What is surprising is just...
uhmmmmm YES - I'm in love
Two species at war across the universe, an unlikely love, and an impossible child.On a distant planet called Cleave, an impossible baby girl is born. Her parents, Marko, a moonie from Wreath, and Alana, a soldier from Landfall. Two different species at war since a long forgotten time, waging war relentlessly through all the vastness of the universe. An unlikely love, the arrival of a beautiful baby daughter, and a prophecy that foretells the death of millions, if not billions. Their respective f...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsBefore anything else, it must be said that SAGA is the most beautiful and hideous, the most hopeful and fatalistic, the most graphic, and the most adorable thing I have ever read or seen. It is ALL the things. The very first page of the very first chapter sets the tone for the whole series (thus far): You're slapped in the face with the wonder and the ICK of childbirth. Some of you might think the bodily fluids, the wordless, guttural shouts that accompany the pushi...
"This is what I get for marrying a vegetarian! Even the goddamn PLANTS want us dead!"Listen, I understand that this is a media darling.But I find it very hard to enjoy stories/books/comics/tv/movies where the world that is featured and spent time in is a world where it's completely normal to enslave six-year-old girls for prostitution, people talk about murdering other people - children, and infants - as if it ain't no thing, torture, rape, and woman-hating are everyday and commonplace.You could...
