There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are reading Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples amazing adult scifi/fantasy Image comic Saga, and those who haven’t yet. The former people are leading happier, fuller lives, because Saga is amaaaaaazzzing.”—io9/Gizmodo

Ahhhh, Saga. That crazy graphic novel series that gets you hooked on wonderful characters and relationships and crazy-creepy-weird stuff — just to brutally rip it all away. Because nothing is sacred to Brian K. Vaughan. Apparently. Vaughan explained that the main characters' romance would be a major theme of the book. [15] Touching upon the juxtaposition of the book's mature subject matter with its Star Wars inspirations, Vaughan jokingly described the book as " Star Wars for perverts." [13] In 2014 the series won all three Eisners that it was nominated for: Best Painter/Multimedia Artist, Best Writer, and Best Continuing Series. [86]a b c Johnston, Rich (February 5, 2016).

Past that, the next next logical question to my mind is how are we all going to stay patient as we wait for these new issues of Saga to arrive, especially for those of you out there who are trade-waiting for the 10th volume of these comics. It’s still irreverent and sometimes crude, and at other times heartbreakingly and seriously poignant in fragile moments of happiness. Our little makeshift family has weathered pains and losses and tragedies, and yet whatever remains of it is still going strong.

In October 2017, Image Comics announced the introduction of Pop! Vinyl figures of Lying Cat, Alana, Marko, Izabel, Prince Robot IV and The Will from Funko and Skybound Entertainment, available in February 2018. [115] In other media [ edit ] a b c Dietsch, T. J.

An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality… a sprawling tale that shuffles the beats of numerous genres, including pulp romance, road trip, Western, dark comedy, and political thriller.” — The Atlantic Look, I know everything about life is terrible at the moment, but I give you my word that this will not be forever." - as a mother's promise to her kids, it's every bit as foolish and as understandable in Saga's war-torn galaxy as it would be in our own world. Still, after the carnage in the last couple of volumes, I finished this one by exhaling and thinking, OK, that could definitely have been worse. And Vaughan definitely knows that, and dangles us on his hook, constantly feinting towards tragedy or else shark-jump, not least when what could have been a cheap bait and switch cliffhanger instead works because it's presented as a lie within the story too, and one which drives plausible further action. At times there are even glimmers of something like justice, as in a conversation between two people who know:

In 2015 the series was again nominated for the same three Eisner Awards it won the previous year [87] and won two of them: Best Continuing Series and Best Penciller/Inker. [88] That same year the fourth volume was awarded the Goodreads Choice Award for Graphic Novels & Comics in 2015.

I really don't know how I feel about the story so many years after I read volume 9. In fact, when asked by my buddy-reader, who got seriously compromised emotionally, I actually told him that the story was good but left me pretty cold. a b c Sneddon, Laura (December 16, 2014).

And I don’t really have a great answer for that, not entirely. I can tell you, however, that I am contemplating getting the deluxe hardcover editions of Saga. I wrote about these volumes in my How to Read Saga piece (I write about Saga…a lot), but they both look great on a shelf and come with a ton of cool extras. So that’s one idea. Other ways to pass the time (which you think would be easier after a hiatus of 3 years and change, but alas…) include collecting Saga Funko Pops! or doing Saga cos-play.
