4.5 starscool!!!!!!!!!!!!! gays!!!!!!!!!!!

Re-Read 5/16/18:My god. Right in the feels. There's just something about this series that grabs hold of you and whips you from side to side as it gnaws on you before spitting you out, licking the stumps of your missing legs before licking your face. I love you, but I seem to have eaten you. Sorry!The end of this volume is so happy! So. Happy!Can I "allegedly" murder someone now?Original Review:Saga is STILL the biggest place to be if you want smart stories, fantastic art, deliciously evil humor

Reread February 2022. Not to self. After reading in the typically disjointed way of comics, an isue or volume at a time, then you wait a few months, forgetting all the details, ALWAYS reread the whole story, all of the volumes!Original review, with some additions and edits, 7/7/2016: Every volume is five stars, all of them! Period. And even the comics great Alan Moore blurbs this book and says it is great! Alan Moore!So if I can't talk about good parts without spoilers that were actually a bit m...

“Anyone who thinks one book has all the answers hasn’t read enough books.” And isn’t that the truth? It's such a great quote and extends to so many real life things. I’m impressed with everything in this volume, the story has progressed forward nicely and has developed with the time shift and, surprisingly, none of the tension has been lost.This is precisely what makes this series so damn good. All the alien sex and weirdness remain, stamped out with unique and slick visuals, but wha

I guess that 5 star streak for all the Saga collections had to come to an end sometime. This is still the best comic book space adventure/fairy tale/romance you’re likely to read, It also still has enough weird alien characters to populate a cantina in Star Wars as well as more violence, profanity, sex, and nudity than most R rated movies. However, it seemed to lack of a bit of the pop that made the rest of the series so next level. Part of this is probably due to so many story threads being sca...

It's rare that a comic (or a story in any medium, really) can skip forward in time while maintaining narrative tension. But this volume of Saga does it. It breaks this rule as it breaks so many others, and it comes out on the other side, shining and smelling like a rose.Seriously. This comic is like a master's class in how to write compelling, long-term, emotional character arcs. Vaughan is probably the best comic writer in the business these days. There's nothing he produces that doesn't absolu...

"Anyone who thinks one book has all the answers hasn't read enough books."A few years have gone by. Hazel is confined to a Landfall re-education center. Marko and Alana desperately trying to find her exact location and get her back. Her true nature remains hidden, but the secret is out, and luck only lasts for so long...I guess it was good, overall, some very decent moments, some very memorable quotes. Hazel's openness and brutal innocence is the cutest thing ever, and I can never get too much G...

congratulations! semifinalist in goodreads' best graphic novels & comics category 2016! let's catch up - what's this series about again? oh, right! despite how adorable i continue to find hazel (and for me to find a child character in anything "adorable" is already a rare feat), this one was a little less-fun than some other volumes. part of it is how scattered it is - developing storylines for characters i do not care about, like these two. no one cares about these two.it also int...

Oh. My. God. The Will got fat! Bahahahahahahaha!Even with the whole We Gotta Find/Rescue Our Kid storyline, the thing that made the biggest impression on me was The Will's drug-induced weight gain. And really, kids, that's what you need to take away from volume 6 of Saga. Not all drugs make you skinny.Yup. Today's free life lesson is this: choose your drugs wisely, or you could end up bloated and talking to imaginary friends - like a chubby Gary Busey, minus the hair.Alright. Saga.Is there anyon...

What more can I add to the sea of raving reviews on this series? The art, diversity, continuity, storytelling style etc. all ratchet up, in this pan-cosmic volume which also sees our tabloid reports get more storyboard time. I think another really special thing about Saga is that it allows for the passage of time 'off-screen' and changes people accordingly, which after years of reading Marvel and D.C.s near standstill slow time passing universes, is a sight for sore eyes.In this volume the story...

Ah, Saga, you continue to be intriguing and wildly weird. Lessons about family. Lessons about race. Lessons about loss and letting go. All of this packaged in a bizzaro universe of strange creatures, cool spaceships, fascinating characters! (Yup, I just used ALL the adjectives!)I have given this disclaimer before, but this series is a bit extreme with sex and violence. It's not up to me to decide what is too much for you, and maybe you won't find it all that extreme. But, I felt like I should me...

I’ve generally enjoyed Saga from the outset, but reading the past few volumes has made me feel a little bit like a first-time guest at a clown orgy: a little bit intrigued, very perplexed as to how such acts can be carried out by so many people in a very small car, a little bit horrified, and just generally bewildered (and, perhaps, the slightest bit aroused). I’m happy to report that Vol. 6 is a welcome return to form, and I’m no longer contemplating anything that involves the words “Bozo” and

Vol. 1 ★★★★Vol. 2 ★★★★Vol. 3 ★★★★★Vol. 4 ★★★★Vol. 5 ★★★★★ “...anyone who thinks one book has all the answers hasn't read enough books.” For those who have yet to experience the phenomenon that is Saga, the basic premise is that two star-crossed lovers, one from a planet and one from its moon, fell in love during a time of war with each other. Not only is associating with the enemy viewed as unspeakable, falling in love is a whole other ballpark. So imagine their surprise when they got...

"...hope the next one's ending isn't too brutal."Ha.Hahahahahhahahha.I'm calling it now guys, the day I find myself six feet under, these will be the words you see baring my tombstone: FELL OFF CLIFF.Because I'm convinced that's what these books are all set out to do to me, I'm sure of it....Not that I'm complaining. (Nah, I'm just silently dying in agony on the inside.) Let the wait begin!

The good news is that this is the last volume that is currently out right now so you don't have to see my reviews for this serious pop up all the time anymore. The bad news (to me) is that this is the last volume that is currently out right now so there's no more for me to enjoy + review. It's bittersweet, really. Anyways. This latest volume was everything that I had hoped it would be and like many other fans I can't wait to see where the story goes from here. If there's one thing that Mr. Vaugh...
