Review: Saga by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan (Volume 1-9)

 Synopsis: Alana and Marko are deserters from opposing armies of a galactic war. While in hiding on the planet Cleave, Alana gives birth to their daughter, but the new family soon becomes the target for agents working for both sides of the war.

Review: I finally got around to reading this much talked about series. With bold art and a depth of writing that is often lacking in most modern stories, Saga tells the tale of two people from different sides of a war who fall in love and commit the ultimate treason – they have a child.

As they run from multiple entities, they work to keep their child safe and their marriage together. Through real struggles, small and large, they travel across the universe, encountering many different people and cultures.

Intense, comical, heart-reading, and profound, the story is worth reading and worth the hype for it. I would advise having all Nine Volumes with you when you start to reading. You will want to keep them close so you can read them one after the other.

Volume Nine ends on a heart-breaking note, and since Saga is on hiatus, we will be stuck drowning in our own sorry for a few years. But worth reading!
