Saga Volume 1 (Saga (Comic Series))

Product Information

There's an awful lot of crap in the graphic novel world, but it's strangely wonderful little gems like Saga, Vol. 1 that make rummaging through the rest of it feel completely worth the effort. This first volume is a bizarre, imaginative and very funny beginning to what I'm hoping will be a fantastic series. I've read bits here and there of Vaughan's work in the past but this is the first one to make me need to see what else he has in store for us. I honestly have no idea how he comes up with this stuff: soldiers turned star-crossed lovers from opposing armies are on the run from both sides with their newborn child. Not so crazy... until you add a bunch of ghosts, a huge cat that can tell when someone is lying, a royal family of robots... and somehow, amazingly, it all works.

Saga by Brian K. Vaughan - Goodreads

Staples and Vaughan, like L. Frank Baum or J.R.R. Tolkien, have brought to life a fantasy world so fully realized that nothing, no matter how incredible, seems out of place for a second." — Library JournalChapter Two Alana, Marko and Hazel make their way through the Endless Woods. The Will learns the identity of another freelancer on the hunt. Prince Robot IV arrives on Cleave to investigate. My husband won't speak of it, but I'm pretty sure I was right. Also, for those of you who haven't given birth, but are planning to in the future? Don't worry. Even crapping on a table won't stop you man from thinking you're sexy. They tend to forget the horror and gore of childbirth within...oh, I'd say about six weeks. Or whenever your doctor clears you for sex. The planet Landfall is at war with one of its moons, known as Wreath. The indigenous people of Landfall seem reliant on technology and sport some nifty little insect-like wings, while the people of Wreath have horns (they may be my favorites as each character in the later issues has horns varying from rhino, to antelope, to ox--you get the idea) and are skilled in the use of magic. The war between these cultures has become an accepted part of life, the hatred of the enemy deeply ingrained in both species. On Cleave, Marko warns Alana that they need to move as the Horrors will come out. They arrive to a bridge where a war rages. Alana is frustrated that they'll never escape the war and Marko kisses her to calm her down. The Horrors watch them from a distance as the night falls. a topless assassin who is all woman (sans arms) from the waist up and all arachnid from the waist down

And if that's a juxtaposition you don't think you can appreciate, then I'm going to go ahead and say goodbye until next time. There is nothing for you here. Elsewhere, Vez hires The Will and Lying Cat to kill Marko. She tells them he will be the death of millions and Lying Cat calls her out as a liar. She gives him an open credit card and told he can charge whatever expenses he wants to it. However, she has also hired another freelancer to go after Marko so as to give him incentive to move faster. She also gives him implicit instructions to not harm the child, and return the offspring home to her.

It's life. With all the accompanying brilliance and horror, and it is masterfully done. I flew through all six collected volumes in an afternoon, and I seriously doubt I'll have the willpower to wait for the next collection before reading the individually released chapters. Despite what you may have heard, good help isn’t all that hard to find... -- ...it’s just hard to find cheap.

Saga (comics) - Wikipedia

Chapter One On a planet called Cleave, Alana gives birth to their daughter, Hazel, while she and Marko flee soldiers from her people and his. Prince Robot IV and The Will are assigned to go after them. I had heard many positive things about Saga and noticing that the title won in Goodreads this year (2015) on its Volume 4, it made to give it a try to this first TPB.It's rather... um. I don't want to say cliché but it's rather cliché. Two people enter into a Romeo-and-Juliet-type relationship... Everyone wants to kill them... their baby represents hope for the future or some shit... People go around saying stuff like, "Listen to my voice, boy. I aim to murder you... right after I murder everything you ever loved,"... A hit man who is supposed to be completely immoral but goes around saving people and protecting people right and left.... Alana screams in pain as she gives the final push to have her baby. Her husband, Marko lovingly tells her she's never looked so beautiful. The baby girl is born and her color floats between her parents' eye colors. Marko chews her umbilical chord and tells Alana he refuses to bring his sword out of his sheath again as he's moved past the soldier portion of his life.
