Oh lord, Brian K. Vaughn. I always hugely enjoy his beginnings... and always feel really disappointed by his endings.

Seriously, EVERY TIME. Ex Machina, Y: the Last Man, Pride of Baghdad, AND Runaways. Escapists was the only work of his I didn't finish kicking myself. After Ex Machina (where the ending made me actively angry) I had to just stop reading BKV, because I realized I was getting way too worked up over this shit.

Before the ban got instated, I tried Saga, and I just... *sigh* I didn't CARE. I was just like, "Oh, okay, you've got the angel/heaven/logic/tech analogues and the satyr/hell/intuition/magic analogues, and of course they're at war and both parents are going to die in some horrible soul-crushing way, but they're using US pop culture references even though they're apparently in space, and oh, it's a 'mature' comic, which means they'll say 'fuck' and show boobs."

It was weird, in that I was seeing a new comic and yet, it felt so old hat to me. Which is weird, because I like the art and really do usually love BKV's beginnings and premises!

I'm sorry for the screed, just Brian K. Vaughn leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
