Saga is written like the title suggests. It's a story narrated by the interspecies child of two races locked in a bitter, eternal war about hate and love and killing and fucking.

It doesn't really have much in the way of good "this page encapsulates the series" moments because it's very much a "you need to read this from page 1 of comic one to the end" series. It possibly should have been a novel. But it's engaging. It succeeds in making you care about a large diverse cast of characters even as some try to hurt and kill the others.



Expect constant mood whiplash. Surprisingly, be okay with the mood whiplash. This is a series that makes you say "FUCK THERE'S HOW MUCH TIME TILL THE NEXT ISSUE!?"

Also some fanservice! (Note, the page makes total sense in context as well)

I have to say, while most man!fanservice doesn't appeal to me at all, I've seen worse than that guy.

Saga does appeal to me in a big way. It's only the cost of it holding me back.

For about 10 years I spent most of my disposable income on comics. I've still got them in stacks and they're a great read. Happy times. But I have other things that need money now.

Speaking of which, I cannot understand people who buy comics digitally, but don't read the small print and realise they're only hiring access to them. What's the point of a comics book you can't re-read in 20 years time?

Sorry for the rant. Not aimed at you.

I buy digital just so I don't have stacks of comics everywhere like I used to. Then if I like the series enough I eventually pick up the trades. Pricy, but convenient.

There are ways of backing them up (even if the publish doesn't provide a way), so you can keep your own copies. I still by mostly physical, but I've started dipping my toe in the digital pool.

Buy the volumes? More physical comic for less cash

I'd suggest trade-waiting or even just checking out the trades from your library, if they have them (and req'ing them if they don't.)
