I had been hearing everywhere that Saga absolutely amazing, and it turns out that is 100% true. The set up may sound familiar: two young soldiers from opposite sides of an intergalactic war meet, fall in love, and desert their respective armies to be together. But Saga begins where most stories end. On page one Alana and Marko are already married, already on the run, and Alana in giving birth to their daughter essentially in a war zone. The story of the young family’s flight into exile is narrated by their just-born daughter Hazel. The family has to navigate their way through cursed ghosts, wooden spaceships and meeting the in-laws while being pursued creepy bounty hunters and the agents of two armies. Excellent space opera fun, and Fiona Staple’s art is to die for.
