despite how really freaking beautiful they are, their love is considered treason, and the baby an abomination in the eyes of both their people, so the family is forced to flee to the furthest corners of the galaxy, pursued by a number of bounty hunters/assassins and also a lie-detector cat I've been getting the monthly issues, which have the added benefit of a letters section in which Vaughan responds to reader letters. The results are often hilarious and I find myself looking forward to this section with the same anticipation I look forward to the storyline.

These are the two that are hired to find them. The one called The Stalk is a cray cray looking chic thing! The disc contains all the preview trailers of Metal Gear Solid 4 released up to that point as a bonus. Star crossed lovers who were soldiers in opposing armies of an intersteller war who have a baby and are being hunted by both sides.these incredibly attractive characters are supposed to hate each other, due to the longstanding war between their respective peoples, but they fall in love in that romantical star-crossed way; a classic tale of 'he's got horns, she's got wings,' and they make a baby together, where all of the grand beauty of childbirth is depicted. There's an awful lot of crap in the graphic novel world, but it's strangely wonderful little gems like Saga, Vol. 1 that make rummaging through the rest of it feel completely worth the effort. This first volume is a bizarre, imaginative and very funny beginning to what I'm hoping will be a fantastic series. I've read bits here and there of Vaughan's work in the past but this is the first one to make me need to see what else he has in store for us. I honestly have no idea how he comes up with this stuff: soldiers turned star-crossed lovers from opposing armies are on the run from both sides with their newborn child. Not so crazy... until you add a bunch of ghosts, a huge cat that can tell when someone is lying, a royal family of robots... and somehow, amazingly, it all works. The planet Landfall is at war with one of its moons, known as Wreath. The indigenous people of Landfall seem reliant on technology and sport some nifty little insect-like wings, while the people of Wreath have horns (they may be my favorites as each character in the later issues has horns varying from rhino, to antelope, to ox--you get the idea) and are skilled in the use of magic. The war between these cultures has become an accepted part of life, the hatred of the enemy deeply ingrained in both species.

The strength of the story relies on the sheer energy of the action; it is non-stop and utterly relentless as our two protagonists fight to save their daughter in a world at war. The dialogue is oozing with past mysteries and secrets that are crying to be revealed. I feel like we jump straight into this story, into this universe, that is already firmly established and has been in existence for a long, long time. And for me this is extremely effective. I want more of it, lots more. En un distante planeta llamado Cleave, nace una pequeña bebita imposible. Sus padres, Marko, un lunar de Wreath, y Alana, una soldado de Landfall. Dos diferentes especies en guerra desde un tiempo ya largamente olvidado, enfrentados en guerra a lo largo de toda la vastedad del universo. Un amor improbable, la llegada de una hermosa niña bebé, y una profecía que anuncia la muerte de millones, sino billones. Sus respectivas facciones empiezan una caza desesperada... y ahora ningún lugar en el universo ya es seguro. On Cleave, Marko warns Alana that they need to move as the Horrors will come out. They arrive to a bridge where a war rages. Alana is frustrated that they'll never escape the war and Marko kisses her to calm her down. The Horrors watch them from a distance as the night falls.So this ghost named Izabel decides to help the family get to the ship and off the planet if she can go with them so off they go! Chapter FourIzabel uses magic to heal Marko while Alana doubts her marriage and relationship. Seeking a respite, The Will investigates the pleasures of Sextillion. It's life. With all the accompanying brilliance and horror, and it is masterfully done. I flew through all six collected volumes in an afternoon, and I seriously doubt I'll have the willpower to wait for the next collection before reading the individually released chapters.
