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 universe.
From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. 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 worlds. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for adults.
My thoughts:
I am not good at reviewing a graphic novel...what should I say? Good artwork and a good story.
Two races at war, and two aliens fall in love and have a hybrid baby and then they run. There is a freaky sex world, a weird tree and a girl with her guts hanging out. That's sci-for you.
I enjoyed it and I would like to know if they survive. It also makes me wonder if I should try that other Vaughan series.
Would I read more?

I've only read 2 graphic novels and found them difficult to review as well. I really enjoyed them, I just had no idea what to say that would be useful to any other readers! Glad you would read more of this series!
ReplyDeleteSo very hard. I mean how to do it? Pics and story. But like is like so there you all go
DeleteGlad the artwork and story were good!
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding with a gun in her hand - she knows how to take care of business. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, oh that she does. You should have seen the birth scene
DeletePerfect review! You said just what I wanted to know. At least the book had guts. ;) (couldn't resist..)
ReplyDeleteI do like them when they are like this
ReplyDeleteVaughn is one of my graphic novel authors. I really dig his Y: The Last Man series.
ReplyDeleteI should try that one, the library has it
DeleteHmm, my son would say things like..the scenes were intense,the illustrations expressed their emotions, There were kick-ass battle scenes..etc. I will ask him if he knows about this series.
ReplyDeleteOhh good ones...well how old is he? It is pretty graphic and explicit
DeleteI haven't read many graphic novels, but this one sounds good. I love the cover too.
ReplyDeleteIt was sure different
DeleteI'm looking into getting into graphic novels but sometimes feel overwhelmed and lost as to where to start. I like how different this one sounds, and that's a pretty kick-ass cover! I think I'll look into this one. I've heard the other series by this author is rather good!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is totally kick.ass and I have seen nothing like it. I wanted to try it cos many were reading it cos of the romance I guess
DeleteI agree it's always very difficult to review books like that.
ReplyDeleteSo very hard
