Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. VaughanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
There is nothing I don't like about this comic.
Its funny but read organically. The couple are cute and have their issues.
All the characters are fleshed out and all have their own histories.
The Stalk is creepy and strangely beautiful. The Will may be a monster but still has a line even he wont cross.
Hazel's commentary is brilliant, letting us know that the baby survives long enough to tell the story but leaving the fate of either of the main characters open for suspense.
Isobel is a pretty cool teenager too and has a personality that adds to the mix.
Sextillians' brothel scene with The Will also gives us a glimpse of the kind of beings in the world and adds to the world building marvellously despite its serious content towards the end.
On the note of series content, this comic is about War and all the things that result from war, including the child sex trade and the death of children so I am going to give this a TRIGGER WARNING!
I've already had the second one put aside for me at my local comic book store and pre-ordered the third book.
