[52] The story is a little bit Romeo and Juliet, a little bit Game of Thrones, and it's all set in space. It's full of bizarre fantasy creatures, from tiny talking rodents to humanoid television sets, to giant planet devouring infants, and it all fits together seamlessly in this world. I was extremely impressed by the delivery of so much info at such a good pace in this format; I hadn't expected the level of world building I'd find in a series of novels in a graphic novel series, simply because so much of the storytelling is visual, but Saga absolutely delivers. As the main characters (a couple and their child) travel through space, trying to find a home for their family despite being hunted by monsters, government agencies, and exes, we're gradually introduced to a wider cast and new facets of this vast universe. a b Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Eight" Saga,no.8(December 2012).Image Comics. The Brio Talent Agency first appears in issue #2, but is not named until issue #8. And at the same time a new baby is thrown into the mix — a newly kidnapped royal Robot baby. Look at that adorable umbilical power cord!

Sea cual sea tu sexo, todos perdemos algo en una guerra… pero lo primera víctima siempre es la verdad. And grief, and loss, and love, and parenthood. And banter. And space genitals which my eyes can’t unsee.Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Twenty-Three" Saga,no.23(September 2014).Image Comics. If an R-rated version of ‘Futurama’ with far greater emotional depth and a lot more nudity, violence and coarse language sounds like your jam, then you’re in for a treat. This will make you laugh and squirm; it’ll warm your heart and it will break your heart… And usually all within a single volume. Serafino, Jason (March 16, 2012). "Review: 'Lost' Writer Brian K. Vaughan Combines Sci-Fi And Fantasy In Image Comics’ 'Saga'". Complex.

And this is where Saga shines beyond any other comic I’ve ever encountered: Our fugitives meet a broad range of people who more often than not want to either capture or kill them. Unless there’s no other way, Alana, Marko… On July 25, 2018, issue #54 was published, ending the first half of the series' run on a major cliffhanger. The series then went on an extended hiatus, during which the first 54 issues would be published in a single volume called Saga: Compendium One. In April 2019 Vaughan told Entertainment Weekly that the second half of the series would also last 54 issues, comprising what he called "a planned 108-issue epic." [6] Winners". Inkwell Awards.

Exciting how this series takes on topics like parenthood, war, trauma, sex positivity, interracial marriage, mourning and drugs with a big dose of humorFinally on a lighter note there is a lot of sex positivity and being realistic about relationships. The secondary characters are also great. The plot follows several different groups like Game of Thrones, so you'll switch between the main group, bounty hunters, a royal family, etc. They've all got their own agenda, it's all intertwined, and none of it is boring. There is also excellent representation in this book. There are a wide variety of skin tones, gender expressions, and sexualities in the cast, and I thought it was all done really well. a b Mart, Seifert (September 7, 2013).

Okay, can we all just pretend that this series ends right here? Because my heart is very happy right this second, and it’s perfect, and I don’t want the next volume to ruin anything:

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are reading Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples amazing adult sci fi/fantasy Image comic Saga, and those who haven’t yet.

Things are set in motion. Some connections are strained, some new ones are formed. Our robot-heads got a bit more development, and seeing Robot King makes even a cynical heart bleed for Robot Prince IV. a b c d e f g h i j k l Wolk, Douglas (August 5, 2013).
