(pb; 2016: graphic novel, collecting issues 1-6 of Saga)
From the back cover
“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 world. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in the first volume of this sexy, subversive ongoing epic.”
Review
Saga, thus far, is an impressively imaginative story with equally imaginative and distinctive characters, taking science fiction and fantasy tropes and turning them on their heads with impressive ease. Its balance of humor, romance, action, strangeness and heart is deftly handled and shown, the artwork solid and not off-putting, and its tone relatively light, making for a landmark comic book/graphic novel read. Worth owning, this.
Followed by Saga, Volume Two.
