The writing is funny, crude and smart and very well done.Īpart from the creative and unique take on the standard forbidden love story line, Saga contains some of the most unique creature concepts I have ever seen. Saga gives a new and exciting approach to a very standard and typical story arch. Obviously, this sounds very Romeo and Juliet, but Romeo and Juliet didn’t have a baby to worry about! What I love about the way this story is written is that parts of it are told by Hazel, Alana and Marko’s baby daughter, sometime in the future after the present events that are happening currently. Saga tells the story of two soldiers, Alana and Marko, who are on opposite sides of a long-time war and eventually end up falling in love and running off together.

I am so happy to say that Saga volume one lived up to all of my expectations. I usually try to go into new novels blindly without researching on the thoughts of other reviewers, but it was literally impossible to avoid hearing about everyone’s love for this graphic novel series. The danger in that is that sometimes things can get a little over-hyped which causes me to have extremely high expectations. Vaughan and also my first experience with art by Fiona Staples…and I hope it won’t be my last! Saga has been extremely hyped up with the amount of people who swear by it and love it. This was my first experience with a graphic novel by Brian K. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for adults. When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old world. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples (Mystery Society, North 40), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the universe.

Goodreads Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Recently though, I decided TODAY IS THE DAY and I finally picked up my copy of Saga Volume 1 and I now regret pushing it back for this long. I knew it was something that I needed to pick up and read ASAP, but every time I made a trip over to my local book store I just never felt like reading it right at that moment. Almost every single booktuber, every single person I’m friends with on Goodreads and every single one of my comic book / graphic novel loving friends has talked about Saga and every single person has given it an amazing review. It seems as though everyone on this planet has read or talked about Saga by Brian K.
