I read this ages ago but didn‘t remember much about it. I don‘t think I was focused on the detail of the story then and it went over my head. This time, I enjoyed the political aspects and the world building. A story like this can overwhelm me. If I don‘t read it all in one go then I forget details and lose the plot. So, I ended up taking notes on the characters and their backgrounds to reference as I continue the series. On to the next volume!

Alright, going to try to do a proper review catchup today - May was great for reading but I am behind in talking about it!

First up - Saga Vol. 1! Many of my friends are fans of this series, and after reading the first volume, I can see why! I enjoyed the fascinating world unfolding, the ideas rendered in lovely art. I'll be so interested to see what comes next.

I love that both the protagonists and the antagonists will do anything to protect their children. Saga has great characters, bizarre creatures, and a sustained critique of war. But it isn't idealistic: having good principles can still get you killed--or worse.

The dialogue is occasionally funny, the characters are so original and the plot was also pretty good with twists and turns.

The characters and artwork were on point.

The artwork was beautiful with a whole range of colours used, the characters are three-dimensional and complex.

Looking forward to Vol:2

TieDyeDude I literally read the first 7 volumes in two days; I couldn't stop. It was a bad move because I had to wait months for 8 & 9. 😂 I plan on catching up with new run this weekend. 2y

Gorgeous fantasy world building, relatable characters and dialogue and social commentary, stunning art. Ahhhh I‘m so excited to dive in to this fandom!

Penny moves her head away every time I line up a halfway decent shot with tolerable lighting, but despite her resistance to the book-posing game she‘s a stellar buddy who helped me launch my first SAGA reread since Vol 9 dropped.

You ever have that thing where you‘re worried to go back to a beloved text in case it‘s stopped resonating? That wasn‘t an issue here. At all. Nothing in this world is perfect, but I FUCKING LOVE THIS COMIC. 😭😭😭

Highly imaginative world building (several worlds actually), good character development and both wonderful and “graphic” artwork. Why did wait so long to read?

When Vaughan & Staples went on hiatus, they said Saga was at the halfway point, that there are another 50 or so issues to go. I‘m just hoping for more…period…full stop. Can‘t wait to see what the update is!

Mehso-so

There was a LOT of hype about this series, so I decided to pick it up. The artwork is absolutely amazing. Very imaginative with interesting & diverse characters. It's a little weird, but I'm starting to like it. At the end, I found myself somewhat invested in the story & curious about where it would go. I was put off by some of the more “adult“ content present in the story as it seemed a bit gratuitous, but I was still interested in the plot.

1. The difference between graphic novels and comics is like binging on several episodes of a TV show as opposed to watching one episode a week.
2. Saga series. This is the series for people who say they don't like comics or graphic novels. @TheSpineView

My #Top20Series list would not be complete without some of my favorite comics starting with Saga. I love everything about this comic about two soldiers from opposing sides who fall in love & then have to stay one step ahead of a universe trying to destroy them. Staples artwork is exquisite—I could stare at it all day. A complex, emotional story with a great cast of characters in a fascinating world.
