From the Hugo Award-winning duo of Brian K. Vaughan (The Private Eye, Y: The Last Man) and Fiona Staples (North 40, Red Sonja), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the universe. Searching for their literary hero, new parents Marko and Alana travel to a cosmic lighthouse on the planet Quietus, while the couple's multiple pursuers finally close in on their targets.
Collects issues 13-18.
My thoughts:
I am confused now, did I read vol 2? And now when I search in the library catalog I can not even find this one! *headdesk* But it did not feel like I missed anything. I remember that space ship, and they were still in it...oh well.
Two star crossed lovers being hunted across space. And they have a baby to protect.
I always say it, but I cannot review graphic novels...what should I say? They are short, they can be read fast. Yes stuff happens, but but.
Story: They meet an author. They try to live as normally as always. Good.
Illustration: Yes, that part I find the most important. I really like the illustrations. They are awesome. Really really well made.
Conclusion:
Good. But I really need to try to check at the library if I have read vol2 ;)

I've only dabbled in graphic novels so far. Sometimes they work for me but other times they don't flow naturally and I struggle.

I agree, for me the illustrations need to catch my interest
DeleteGlad you enjoyed... I can imagine it is hard to review graphic
ReplyDeleteI really do not know how
DeleteMaybe search your reviews here and on GRs to see?
ReplyDeleteGR says no
DeleteThis made me laugh! I think I'll read this tonight.
ReplyDeleteHihi
DeleteI hate it when I can't remember if I read a book or I just forgot it. That's why I love Goodreads! Although sometimes I question it when it says I read it but I really have no clue.
ReplyDeleteBut what if I forgot to put it on GR..eeeek
DeleteI always hate when I have memory lapses when reading sequels. At least the illustrations were awesome, right?
ReplyDeleteThat they were
DeleteOh ahhhh that makes a girl's eye twitch not being able to remember like that.
ReplyDeleteIt does not feel like I lost anything in between...or did I
DeleteI just wish I could search for it at the library but nope, so weird
ReplyDeleteLol. It's such a short, fast read, I'm sure you'll be able to read (or reread) Vol. 2. :)
ReplyDeleteIf they have it, but something is wrong with the database
DeleteOh, I have this series on my wish list. Hope you figure out if you read v. 2 or not. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol, I hope so
DeleteThis is such a great series. Reminds me, I still have to read the latest volume which has been sitting on my nightstand for months!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I think I have to take a trip to the library and ASK if they have book 2, cos dunno what is wrong with their stupid data
DeleteI love this series! Along with the Lou series by Julien Neel and Ben Hatke's Zita the Spacegirl books this is one of my favorite graphic novel series.
ReplyDeleteI have not read those :)
DeleteLou is just so much fun, it is about a young teenage girl and her single author mum(she writes science fiction). Just a hilarious series in my opinion. Ben Hatke's three books about Zita is for everyone, really. So many wonderful creatures, great adventures and unforgettable friendships are forged in that series - it just makes you believe in the good in people.
DeleteOhh, I like the sound of that :D Especially since the mum writes sci.fi
DeleteThe mum is a bit of a crazy mum, in a fun way. She definitely does not care about social conventions when it comes to being a lady ;)
DeleteI sometimes forget too! It happens not just with books, but also TV series (I never know which season I'm on...) It's nice that you didn't feel like were missing anything - I hate feeling that kind of confusion. Great review, Linda :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea which season I am on, lol
Delete^_^
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteIt makes me twitchy when I am not sure if I missed something.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder
DeleteI agree, graphic novels need to have good graphics.
ReplyDeleteI am very particular about them
DeleteThat cover rocks!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I do all my graphic novel reviews as a group once a month. Then I don't have to say a lot about each one. Sometimes it's hard to come up with more than "loved it".
ReplyDeleteGood idea! So that is why you do it! Now I know
