Winner of the 2013 Hugo award for Best Graphic Story!
When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in
love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old
universe. From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y:
The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona
Staples (Mystery Society, North 40), Saga is the sweeping
tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds. Fantasy and
science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for
adults.
This specially priced volume collects the first six issues of the smash-hit
series The Onion A.V. Club calls "the emotional epic Hollywood wishes it could
make."
Voted one of the top graphic novels of the year by the NYT, IGN,
the Examiner, and SF Weekly. Voted Best Comic of the year by MTV Geek
and Best New Series by Paradox Comics. Voted a finalist in the GoodReads Best GN
of 2012 contest.
Named one of Time Magazine's top 10 graphic novels for
2013
Saga is a violent space opera science-fiction romp with explicit sex scenes and a whole lot of randomness. It has a high shock factor, and probably shouldn't be read in class or at work. Or any public place for that matter. (Really, don't do it. It will get you VERY weird looks.) Gimmicks aside, Saga is also incredibly well written, funny, poignant, and has some fantastic messages on violence and its pointlessness. It's great. The (rather adult) style reminded me of Rat Queens, which is similar, only set in a fantasy world.
