Right so this graphic novel gets weirder and weirder each time. I still could not get over that Prince with a TV for a head and that bountyhunter who has weird legs and tons of eyes...

Šta reći... zanimljivi likovi i zanima me što će im se desiti.

“Who the fuck is Gwendolyn?” Four Stars.

I've become much more accustomed to the art work now and am even beginning to enjoy it. Also loving the humourous wit from the writer and the characters. I'm honestly enjoying this comic much more than I originally thought I would.

Gwendolyn?? Oh no he didn’t 🤣

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the first volume. In other words, chapters one through six.
I’ve said it before when reviewing other graphic novels, but I’m not the biggest fan of them. In fact, I mostly avoid them. However, every so often I get the urge to try another. As my last foray into a graphic novel resulted in a hidden gem, one I adored, I decided to give another one a go. Thus, I opted to dive into Saga. I have heard countless great things about Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga series, so I decided it was time to take a leap.
In truth, this first volume of Saga, containing chapters one through six, was more of a three-point-five-star rating rather than the rounded down three-star rating I gave it. It was bizarre, in the best of ways. I knew going in that it was a wild story, but I wasn’t quite prepared for all I was given.
Although there is a great storyline to follow, we also have numerous weird and wonderful things to enjoy as we ride the wave. Some things will leave you laughing, some will have you doing a double take, and others will simply have you blinking at the pages. All these elements were addictive in the best kind of ways, leaving me curious as to how everything will tie together.
It is no surprise to find Saga volume one left me wanting to read the second volume.

I own this book in a compendium format.
So after the end of the last issue, with Marko lying dying, and the "horrors" appearing, we are left with Alana and baby Hazel dealing with her dying husband and these ghosts who are rumoured to hurt her and her baby. When one of the ghosts, Izabelle makes her an offer to save her husband in exchange for travelling with them while tied to baby Hazel, Alana isn't left with any other options but to except. However, when they get Marko to a cold area to heal in snow, he groggily reveals his secret love for another women. When I read the last page of this book I literally screamed, I felt so betrayed. Like enter Tyra Banks, WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU, style shouting. I was infuriated. I wonder where this series is going. It feels very Star Wars in places, which I'm into.

He ido encontrando a buen precio algunos sueltos de Saga, de la que he oído tan buenos comentarios. El planteamiento mezcla lo familiar con las idas de olla. Hay dos soldados de bandos opuestos en una guerra que han huído y se han casado, y tienen ahora que evitar a sus dos bandos y a unos cuantos cazadores de recompensas. Y luego hay multitud de seres raros, rarísimos, y a la vez muy graciosos. Este primer número está muy entretenido. No duda en tirar de gore cuando procede y los diálogos son a la vez muy bestias y muy graciosos. Me gusta el estilo de guión y el arte está muy bien. Seguimos.

Los horrores me parecieron muy interesantes. Me va gustando mucho

Loving the amalgamation of fantasy with science fiction. And with the arrival of those cute ghosts the situation became much lighter.
I still couldn't understand the purpose of Lying Cat, apart from mentioning obvious lies. But at least we got a glimpse of some of the powers of Robots like showing anything on the screen from their memory, morphing body parts into various structures, and I hate to say this, torturing prisoners of war?
We also encountered soul-bonding and this made sure Izabel won't disappear like a ghost (oops) from the comics just yet.
And yes, "Who the f**k is Gwendolyn?"

When I was given the first issue of this series, I thought to myself, "Saga. Wow, someone's feeling pretentious."
Now I realize that no other title would really fit. Get on this, or wait until it's collected into a graphic novel. It will be. It's simply amazing... think Firefly meets The Twilight Zone and you'll have a tiny inkling of how good.

What are these cliffhangers?! *falls off of cliffs* *lands on a hang-glider mid-fall, and holds on* *hang glider rips and crashes onto a boulder*

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.... wait, that’s different...

1. This series literally has the best covers.
2. It's like fantasy/superhero/love story/sci-fi/drama/comedy. All genres in one.
3. The art is captivating and tells a story.
4. The little side frames of Hazel's narrations is pretty great.
5. I feel like people will soon have Alana's haircut. And grow horns like Marko.
6. The TV head guy. So I'm assuming that race is a nod to modern man whose heads are always in a phone screen, TV screen, computer screen, tablet screen, etc. It definitely makes a statement.
7. GWENDOLYN?!?!?!?!?
8. These cliff hangers though.
9. “It doesn’t take a village to raise children, it takes a whole galaxy-former friends, random acquaintances, complete strangers.” I recently took in one of my homeless students at school and my galaxy of friends have pulled together and helped me take care of her.
10. Lying Cat is my fave.

Turns out not all Horrors are, well, horrible, but "Who the fuck is Gwendolyn?"? Holy cliffhanger Batman!

Gets better and better.
And damn, didn’t expect that ending… I must see what’s the excuse, so on to the next part.

March 6, 2024
a narração da hazel enquanto ela nem tinha nascido/era uma recém nascida é divertida; the will: estou esperando a sua redenção. OBCECADA.

Choosing to make the ghosts red was a stroke of genius and I’m still not over The Stalk’s badass design.
