Saga: Compendium One

Product Information

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. [89] Year My only real complaint is that there's a lot of nudity, which I don't generally mind, but some of it felt gratuitous. It wasn't all necessary. However, I did really appreciate that the women weren't overly sexualized, and that the amount of female nudity and male nudity was pretty balanced. It was also pretty body positive, and showed things like stretch marks on a character that had given birth as well as a variety of body types. The book was announced at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International, [4] and was billed as " Star Wars meets A Game of Thrones" in solicitations. [1] Saga represents the first time Vaughan has employed narration in his comics writing, a decision influenced by the whimsical interaction between the text and images in the children's books he reads with his children, and by his desire to try something new that he felt would work well with Saga 's narrator, Hazel. [5] It is also his first series to be published through Image Comics, [18] whom he selected as the series' publisher on the recommendation of the writer Jay Faerber, who cited the creative freedom afforded by that publisher. [15] Vaughan elaborated on his selection of Image thus: The 2017 Ringo Award winners: March wins two". ComicsBeat. September 25, 2017 . Retrieved April 29, 2018. Spinelli, Dan (October 9, 2021).

On April 9, 2013, media reported that Apple Inc. had prohibited the sale of issue 12 of Saga through iOS, because two panels that depicted oral sex between men in a small, in-set image violated Apple's restrictions on sexual content. This resulted in criticism by artists and writers, who pointed to similarly explicit content in previous issues and in other works sold through iTunes. William Gibson and others suggested that the restriction could have occurred specifically because the drawings in question depicted gay sex. [107] A day later, digital distributor Comixology announced that it had been that company, not Apple, who had chosen not to make the issue available based on their interpretation of Apple's rules, and that after receiving clarification from Apple, the issue would now be sold via iOS. [108] Saga δεν είναι μόνο μια ιστορία επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Ούτε απλά μια ιστορία αγάπης. Και δεν μιλάει μόνο για την διαφορετικότητα αλλά για πολλά παραπάνω. Μιλάει για την έννοια της οικογένειας, για το τι σημαίνει να είσαι γονιός, τι σημαίνει να είσαι πρόσφυγας, τι σημαίνει να είσαι στρατιώτης. Τι σημαίνει να γεννιέσαι και να μεγαλώνεις εν μέσω πολέμου. Για την φτώχεια, την ειρήνη, τον πόλεμο και τις επιπτώσεις του, την απώλεια, τον θάνατο, την αγάπη την φιλία, την εμπιστοσύνη και την ελπίδα. Για τα fake news, τις εκτρώσεις, τον εθισμό και την ενδοοικογενειακή βία. Μιλάει για τον άνθρωπο, τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα, τον σύγχρονο τρόπο ζωής και όλα αυτά χωρίς να υπάρχουν ανθρώπινα όντα στις σελίδες του. Κέρατα, φτερά, πολλά μάτια, αραχνόμορφα σώματα ή ζώα που μιλάνε. Δέντρα-διαστημόπλοια, δράκοι, πληρωμένοι δολοφόνοι με ηθικούς φραγμούς και δύσκολα παιδικά χρόνια, αριστοκράτες με κεφάλια-τηλεοράσεις, συγγραφείς αντιπολεμικών ερωτικών μυθιστορημάτων, κόκκινα φαντάσματα και μια γάτα-ανιχνευτή ψεύδους που νιαουρίζει LYING!

If an R-rated version of ‘Futurama’ with far greater emotional depth and a lot more nudity, violence and coarse language sounds like your jam, then you’re in for a treat.

Davis, Lauren (July 27, 2014). "Brian K. Vaughan And Fiona Staples Reveal What's Ahead For Saga". io9. En principio, Saga (2012-), de Brian K. Vaughan (1976-), parece una sencilla odisea galáctica familiar vertebrada sobre una historia de amor interracial (a lo Romeo y Julieta), pero rápidamente te das cuenta de que la historia amorosa queda relegada a un segundo plano ante la complejidad de la aventura. Poco a poco van surgiendo múltiples temas secundarios que parecen dirigirse todos hacia una única meta: mostrarnos que la aceptación de la diversidad (cultural, social, amorosa, racial, étnica, por procedencia —migrantes—, de género…) es el único camino para conseguir la paz entre los seres vivos.

Creators

It's a space romp that follows a fugitive family from their very first moments as such. There’s gruesome violence, explicit language and a large amount of gratuitous nudity, so it’s not one for the kiddy-winks no matter how aesthetically pleasing it may be.

Okay, can we all just pretend that this series ends right here? Because my heart is very happy right this second, and it’s perfect, and I don’t want the next volume to ruin anything: Can’t wait to see where we go from here. Still at 5 stars - and I’m definitely a hopeless fangirl now.The fourth Volume, which begins Book Two, establishes the family living on the planet Gardenia, with Alana acting in an underground entertainment program called the Open Circuit in which all the actors wear masks. Hazel is now speaking in simple phrases, while Prince Robot IV's son is born. [47] A disgruntled robot janitor, Dengo, kills Prince Robot IV's wife, kidnaps his infant son [48] and journeys to Gardenia, where he kidnaps the family. [49] Marko and Prince Robot IV team up with Yuma to pursue them. Meanwhile, The Brand teams with Gwendolyn and Sophie to acquire an elixir to heal The Will's injuries. [50] While the book works as a poignant love story and an indictment of prejudice, trippy visuals and clever dialog make this Romeo and Juliet space opera a lot of fun as well.” — Library Journal a b c d e f g Lewis, Shane (February 26, 2012).

In the sixth Volume, Alana and Marko search for Hazel and Klara, who remain incarcerated in a detention center on Landfall. Upsher and Doff resume their investigation of the couple after hearing of The Brand's death. The journalists are confronted by The Will, who has resumed his vendetta against Prince Robot IV. Meanwhile, Prince Robot is using the name Sir Robot and is raising his rapidly growing son, Squire. New characters introduced include Hazel's sympathetic schoolteacher Noreen and a transgender female prisoner, Petrichor. The arc closes with Hazel successfully reunited with her parents and the revelation that Alana is once again pregnant. [52]We all knew that the little makeshift family situation could not continue indefinitely. It would have been too nice, and obviously we cannot have nice things.
