With an adult’s beautiful mind, his writing is also not nearly as smart or progressive or feminist as I used to think it was, which I’m basing partially on how every woman calls another woman a slutty fat cunt at some point, and partially on which fan letters he chooses to just publish in their unedited entirety at the end of each issue. Like…you know you don’t HAVE to give an eight-paragraph platform to every person who hated your trans character, right? …right?? Thank you, Dennis, for introducing me to this series. At least I don’t have to wait for 3 years for the next volume. Cavna, Michael (September 7, 2014).

Sea cual sea tu sexo, todos perdemos algo en una guerra… pero lo primera víctima siempre es la verdad. also the rampant fatphobic and ableist language. why was that needed in a book where no one is human and therefore socialisation is different from humanity?

Saga - Three Ways to Check Out the Comic How to Read Saga - Three Ways to Check Out the Comic

Ghüs is my most favourite character, but also love Alana and Lying Cat - all of characters are so complex and multi-layered which I loved It's a space romp that follows a fugitive family from their very first moments as such. There’s gruesome violence, explicit language and a large amount of gratuitous nudity, so it’s not one for the kiddy-winks no matter how aesthetically pleasing it may be. The comic was described in solicitations as " Star Wars meets A Game of Thrones", [1] evocative of both science fiction and fantasy epics such as The Lord of the Rings as well as classic works like Romeo and Juliet. [2] [3] [4] It is Vaughan's first creator-owned work to be published through Image Comics, and is the first time he employs narration in his comics writing. [5] Vaughan indicated that the entire series will span 108 issues. [6]And another thing I love is how effortlessly these characters have depth; how everyone is a complicated tangle of good and bad and everything in between. Synopsis: two aliens - Alana and Marko - belong to two warring factions in a galactic war. Instead of murdering each other they decide to get together and procreate, creating baby Hazel, whose birth opens the series. Marko is a committed pacifist. Alana is a fan of a trashy space romance book - but a SUBVERSIVE one, clearly. And the entire universe is obsessed with killing this loving couple and getting their hands on the first cross-species baby. It’s still full of delightfully dark humor. The banter continues. Planetoids hatch into creepy giant Space Oddyssey 2001-like fetuses. Thong-clad space brothel madams fail to keep a contracted killer from saving a six-year-old from sex slavery. There are monstrously sized space alien genitals (because why the hell not, apparently???). a b Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Fifteen" Saga,no.15(October 2013).Image Comics.

Violence is also a major part of the series, with the war between two superpowers (kind of techno utopia versus fantasy magicians) leading to collateral damage to many worlds and characters. Mercenaries turn out to be saviors to children, casual victims have relatives who want revenge, the ripples of violence are profound and our main characters are far from being perfect. In a sense I was reminded of Star Wars Omnibus: Knights of the Old Republic, Volume 1 which I really enjoyed as a teenager. The advice to “kill your darlings” has been attributed to various authors across the galaxies… And Mister Heist hated them all. Why teach young writers to edit out whatever it is they feel most passionately about? Better to kill everything in their writing they DON’T love as much… Until only the darlings remain.’

a b Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Eight" Saga,no.8(December 2012).Image Comics. The Brio Talent Agency first appears in issue #2, but is not named until issue #8. Saga es militante tanto política como socialmente, en contra de las desigualdades de todo tipo. Por un lado con el relato, un guion de una gran calidad literaria, con continuas frases ingeniosas y sentencias bien razonadas que es difícil no sentir como auténticas. Y por otro, con unos dibujos complejos que recrean al detalle el también complejo universo imaginado (mezcla de fantasía y mitología). Un perfecto uso del color y de las medidas y una realización realista y explícita añaden otro golpe mortal a la mojigatería que también critica la obra. No se esconde nada en el dibujo de Fiona Staples (1982-): sexo interespecies, interracial, gay, desnudos integrales, transexualidad, un parto…. Saga no solo cuenta, sino que también muestra escenas representativas de esa diversidad de la que hace gala y ahí radica su fuerza para penetrar en la conciencia del lector. No parece lo mismo leer que ver. ¿Somos tan tolerantes como suponemos?¿Cómo reaccionará cierto público ante esas imágenes?
