👼🏽fun and funky fresh. Saga simultaneously manages to have lighthearted moments in the midst of war without downplaying the seriousness of the subject. The cast of characters are all interesting in their own ways and their story lines are connected enough to still see the central plot, but disconnected enough to  maintain uniqueness. The universe is vivid and the stakes are real; I am very excited to see where this story will go!

Oh I am about to start a very expensive and heartbreaking journey...

This is the first comic book I have ever read and I am all in. The art. The story. The Themes. I am here for all of it. Please excuse me as I make Saga my entire personality for the next few months.

Moderate: Child abuse, War, Stalking, Racism, Genocide, Cancer, and Abandonment

Everything is very graphic (what with it being an adult comic book) but it all comes across as humourous, as opposed to particularly dark/grim. Definitely 18+

“This is how an idea becomes real. But ideas are fragile things.“

Some of the most phenomenal character design I’ve ever come across. Instantly likable characters, incredible witty dialogue, and fascinating writing overall. I honestly can barely wrap my head around it. 

And this is only volume one.
