review to come, but man, am i loving this series!okay, time for a real review! it's hard to know where to begin….this series is all told from the POV of a girl, detailing the events and adventures of her baby-years and before, including the romantic forbidden love between her parents. it was not, however, love at first sight. but it's not all lovey-dovey stuff, nor even lovey-punchy-with-a-rifle stuff. there's also … this and how much do i love alana? not only for her dry wit but

Saga is just superb. Aside from the cool characters, its general weirdness and unflinching nature, it also recognises the power of words:And for me that’s rather important. This particular book has caused the entire situation, pushing the characters to sue for piece in a world driven by hatred and war. The book made them fall in love with each other, and give birth to a new future that they now must fight to protect: a baby born from a union between two races that have always hated each other:

I'm really enjoying this story <3.

Dear Mr. Vaughan, I do not know what process you go though to produce comics like these. I do not know what dark alchemy you perform, what infernal pacts you have agreed to, what terrifying drugs you must imbibe. I have no idea what arcane rituals you must perform every day, what odd odd habits of diet and exorcize you must maintain to keep your mind limber and sparking, to write things like this. I just wanted to say, whatever it is you're doing, please keep doing it. Sincerely, pat

3.5/5This volume found what I felt was missing in the first: backstory and a lot of heart.We learned more about Marko's past and how he and Alana met. I love him. So much. I also enjoyed getting to know the new characters, Marko's parents and Gwendolyn, as they helped flesh out the story and provided some of my favorite moments.Fiona Staples' illustrations did not fail me. They were so vivid - sometimes to a gross degree when it came to certain creatures.I'm getting more used to the style of thi...

Tender lovebirds, and not so tender bounty-hunters.In this continuation of the series we backtrack to the early days when Alana, the soldier, and Marko, the prisoner, met, and how everything unfolded for them to be together. From an indifferent beating to a crazy incomprehensible love; while at the present time also fleeing Cleave from their many pursuers, and trying to find some place in the universe, any place at all, where their little baby daughter can be safe.Excellent sequel to Saga. I enj...

Confession time, this is the third time I've read this volume, actually the third time I'm reading the complete volumes 1 to 5! And guess what? Go on, guess? - I swear - each time I read each volume - this goddamn genius-book just gets better. No kidding! Better, deeper, more innovative, more special. I'm beginning to think this is the golden ticket, the best comic book series... period?You wanna read a review? Shucks there's 1,000s already, from here on out, you don't really need another from m...

Books can be a lot of things. An escape, for example. A learning experience. A doorstop.They can also be a useful tool, like this series of graphic novels is. Because every once in a while, I forget how to read, and I need to pick up a book that's 90% pictures in order to pretend I still can.(This is not to say that graphic novels aren't books. They are. That's so obvious that I shouldn't even have to defend myself against this hypothetical claim I just made up in my head.)Anyway. From time to t...

Really enjoying the creativity of this series...the characters...the story arc...the art...all of it.

This comic book is an incredible adventure right from page 1. I seriously could not put this story down. It made me laugh, smile, and even tear up at one point (Barr…). I never knew what to expect from the incredible ensemble of characters and I think that made the plot that more epic.The chemistry between all of the characters is phenomenal.Izabel, Gwendolyn, and of course Alana are so damn badass.And that ending was AMAZING.Why have I waited so long to read this series?On to the next volume!

A couple of star-crossed lovers from two different species on opposing sides of an interstellar war are on the run in a wooden rocket ship with their infant daughter and her ghost babysitter as they are pursued by the forces of both sides including a royal family member who is a robot with a television for a head as well as a bounty hunter who has an oversized cat who can tell when anyone is lying. Geez, why can’t any comic book creators come up with something original?Ah, but seriously…. This s...

I put in requests at the library for these books. Did I take the time to look at how many holds they have on them? Nope. So I've ended up with Volumes 2 and 3 first and weeks to go before I'll get Volume 1. I still read this..because I'm a rebel like that. Plus my library sends letters out on over due books that scare me. This is a fun book. Told from the point of view of the young baby. It's well done and funny. Plus the art work is wonderful. Plus you have this guy..You know I had to go the...

The second book in this graphic novel series by Brian K.Vaughan (writer) and Fiona Staples (artist) is as good as the first ….…. maybe even better, as we continue to get to know the main characters.It’s bursting with mad invention, wonderfully evocative artwork, a story that is developing nicely and an ever growing cast of very strange characters.Marko and Alana, the star-crossed lovers (from both sides of a planetary conflict) and their child Hazel, continue their escape from a ragbag assortmen...

If possible, this was even more wickedly delightful than its predecessor.• We're showered with some much-wanted backstory on my favourite duo:• Get introduced to a new set of badass mofos:• Feast our eyes upon more gloriously graphic art:• And of course, get a glimpse of the most adorable little bean that is young Marko:• Bonus content – Harambe makes an appearance (forgive me):
