Saga Vol 1 Brian K Vaughan Fiona Staples Books

Note that reviews for all editions of this book seem to be combined, so it's a bit confusing to get the right one! I ordered the hardcover thinking that it was the beautiful edition everyone raves about in their reviews, but the cover looks like it was printed on a home computer...turns out I bought some library/school version. Apparently, if you want the good hardcover edition, you have to buy the Saga BOOK 1 (not Vol. 1) in hardcover edition. Hopefully my review can save a few people the hassle of returning!

Saga Vol 1 Brian K Vaughan Fiona Staples Books Reviews

This is the third comic book series that I've decided to collect books on, and it's the best one in my opinion. What I really find interesting is that the story starts right during the birth of Alana and Marco's daughter. But there are occasional flashbacks to see how they met later in the story. The plot is really good, and there are many lovable characters along the way. Another interesting thing about the series is that the dialogue can range from casual to formal. Izabel and Prince Robot are great examples of this. This series has a mix of many genres science fiction, fantasy, and romance. There are also some chapters that I'd say can be labeled under "slice of life." The violence is pretty graphic, showing gore and the severing of limbs. And there's some occasional nudity. At times it's used for comic relief, and at times it's used as a plot device. The art style is amazing. Book 1, in particular, was a blast to read. I enjoyed every page of it.

Overall, I can say that this is my favorite comic book series of all time. I'm so glad I have this in a hardcover (which came with library binding)!
I see buzz on Twitter about the Saga comic series when it wins awards – and each collected graphic novel volume seems to win several apiece. It sometimes feels like a year-round buzz cycle (in fact, the only comic my feed loves more is Ms. Marvel. which, for the record, I also enjoyed). It was inevitable that I’d finally take a look, especially when I realized that there was good female representation and the premise was “journey in space.” I picked up Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples after I saw a great deal in the Book Riot email list, so I now know what all the fuss is about.

Brian K. Vaughan has created an adult comic (I feel like I have to clarify that it’s adult, because YA is my default expectation for this space) for fans of science fiction, star-crossed love and action adventure. The first volume has a lot going on birth, death, berserker rages, interspecies conflict, a sex planet, ghosts, crazy spaceships, and a life-changing romance novel (that bit made me laugh)(in a good way).

This comic does a lot of things well multiple threads of story tied into the main plot line via an unusual omniscient narrator, exciting visuals, star-crossed love just fighting to survive, and humorous dialogue throughout. It is also a set-up for a wide-ranging epic, but the volume has enough skirmishes, close calls, and surprises to make it satisfying and interesting as a standalone.

That said, I was not impressed by main heroine Alana’s dialogue. Whether it fits the character in the context of the series or not, I can’t say. I was just disappointed to read pages of the jealous/nagging wife cliché when there were other more interesting (and life-threatening!) things going on at the same time. So that bit into my enjoyment – and I am going to skip reading further volumes. The one plot thread that really got its hooks into me was that of the Robot Prince – I thought the robot royal characters seemed really innovative and suited to the comics medium.

If you’ve been thinking you’d like to “try” comics, like science fiction, and don’t care for superheroes, Saga is a good place to start. Just be aware that this first volume pulls no punches – it’s R-rated. And if you’re more of a fantasy fan, I’d suggest starting out with Bill Willingham’s Fables.

Recommended for comics newbies and veterans alike – basically anyone interested in a complex space adventure with enough action to keep the story moving and enough depth to hook most readers for the long haul.
I was skeptical going into this, there's no way this "Saga" thing could be as great as they all say. I mean whats with the horns and stuff?
Safe to say I was completely and utterly wrong, and I'm so glad I was. This series is amazing!! Everything they say about it is true! Hands down the best 18 issues of a comic book I've read in a long time. You will find yourself instantly captured by the characters and their struggles. The world is crazy but somehow not so crazy that it doesn't make sense, the art is immaculate and you never feel like the creators have wasted any panel in telling their story.

Often comic books don't have their characters change or develop but every issue of Saga something of note happens, and that is extremely refreshing. I feel I've gotten more story in these 18 issues than I have in hundreds of issues of superhero comics.

If you
1) are bored of superhero stories
2) love space fantasy like Star Wars
3) are looking for high quality art and storytelling
then this book is for you!

Do yourself a favor and read it. Trust me.
