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 universe.
From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples (Mystery Society, North 40), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for adults.
This specially priced volume collects the first six issues of the smash- hit series The Onion A.V. Club calls "the emotional epic Hollywood wishes it could make."
This is the first graphic novel I have ever read and has made me want to read many, many more.
The story follows
two soldier that are fighting on opposite sides of a war between a planet and
its moon. The two soldiers fall in love, even though they are suppose to be
enemies and they have a baby. The story is told partially through the point of
view of the child. This series is their story on surviving in a world where
they should not be together.
I really loved the
way it was written. It is very fun, smart and interesting. I didn't lose
interest the whole time I was reading it and when I finished was left craving
more. I love the world it is very creative and so huge. There are so many
different dynamics happening throughout the story. The characters are so
different and lovable, the development of the characters was wonderful. I just couldn’t get enough of
them. I am so happy this was the first graphic novel I've read, it has shined a light onto this new
realm of literature for me to read.
I haven't read any graphic novels either. Only manga's and those aren't the same thing. But I do want to read Kiersten White's graphic novel that came out earlier this year. I forgot the title, but I've heard it's good too. Saga though, sounds very interesting. It's also crazy that one of the POV's is from the baby. That's weird...was it weird for you to read from a baby?
