 Saga was my second graphic novel, and definitely an interesting one to read. I can almost certainly say I enjoyed it, I devoured it incredibly quickly, enjoying the vibrant, rather detailed pictures, and the small amount of dialect and narration that came with the pictures. 
However, I did find the whole idea a little strange, and some of the pictures a little graphic and disturbing. I think, taking a step into a world where you have the pictures all drawn for you, compared to trying to imagine everything yourself really creates a different experience for reading.
I will almost certainly be continuing with the series, and I cannot wait to pick up the next volume and see where the story goes, because the storyline itself, seems fairly interesting. 
Overall, pretty impressed with my second graphic novel, and I will be reading more. But I can't say I was blown away.
