I like The Will, I think he has a good heart. Quite curious about Gwendolyn though. There is something interesting in her.

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 guys whose heads are also their chests. Interesting visual. The tongue in the belly button haha.
7. THE PLOT THICKENS. I'm so glad they rescued the slave girl. Now I want to know what's up with her powers.
8. I love Gwendolyn's outfit. Also, she's pretty great.
9. I want Lying Cat.
10. "Hiya Mama Cellulite." HAHAHAH
11. The Stalk just creeps me out.
12. I love the symbolism of the mole looking people. Spies/goonies of Sextillian
13. "You gonna kill is with your faggy laser sword?" HAHA
14. When Slave Girl and Lying Cat are curled up together. SO ADORABLE.

In which The Will finally has a good day. Love it!
Argh, this piecemeal divulgence of comic goodness is getting me down folks. I have to know more! 32 pages of brilliance, sure, but there's so much I want answered. I am also waiting for something truly awful to happen, as this is Mr Vaughan's modus operandi. I continue to wait with bated breath...

Wow. Seriously. On one hand you really think the nonviolence angle was going to work... on the other there was no way an experienced sex trader would actually be that gullible so violence just was inevitable. But that last panel. Divine. Staples truly hit the mark with that one. I mean she usually does, it's just that one stands out among the best.

¿Cómo pudiste, Brian K. Vaughan, cómo pudiste?

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the second volume. In other words, chapters seven through twelve.
I’m not the biggest lover of graphic novels, but the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga left me desperate for more. Therefore, I was more than happy to dive into volume two.
Although I have given this second volume a three-star rating, know it is more of a three-point-five-star rating. In fact, it was even closer to receiving a four-star rating than the first volume. I honestly believe, this may well be one of the rare graphic novel series that does become a four-star rating the deeper into it I get.
With this second volume, we have more of the strange and wonderful storyline we were introduced to in volume one. Providing us with chapters seven through twelve, the bizarre story continues. With this one, we have even more twists thrown in, we’re introduced to even more, and we’re hooked to every page.
Without a doubt, this second volume is more than worth reading if you enjoyed the first.

I still find it so weird/oddly funny how everyone just refers to Slave Girl as such. It seems like something a fandom would develop as crude shorthand for an unnamed character, not something a writer would officially name her LOL. Of course it's not super funny because she is a six year old sex slave, but at least she gets rescued in this one.
I kind of think it's out of character for The Will to be so invested in saving her only for him to not put *any* thought in as to where to place her afterwards. It would honestly make more sense for The Will and Gwendolyn's reactions to be reversed. Gwen wanting The Will to ditch her so he can focus, but The Will being evermore attached to her anyway (we learn more about his backstory later, which strengthens this opinion that I have). But I think BKV wants The Will to seem grumpy idk. Like maybe adopting Slave Girl will rip out his soft side.

I would happily read a whole series about the Lying Cat, and I say that in the full knowledge that I'd forgotten its existence. I'm working my way through this series very slowly, is what I'm saying. (No disrespect to the comic; my to-read list is just enormous and I get distracted easily.) The bounty hunter thread in this series has never really grabbed me, but this particular issue has made it enjoyable, and I hope it continues. I think it's because these particular hunters are just more appealing characters than the other hunters have been: I get the feeling that these two and the little girl could become some sort of found family, one that mirrors Marko, Alana, and Hazel, and I like the potential for reflection there.

For a second there, I was happy for Will, but then Gwedolyn, ah, well, next reads will be delayed a bit as the tablet needs to recharge, so now some other activity before I go back to reading, and then again keep on reading.
I have always loved comics, and I can and I have. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love, and I hope you will always love it. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics, Mangas, Mahwas, and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

Saga #9 – Chapter Nine
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Fiona Staples
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: January 2013
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Summary:
Hazel’s ghostly babysitter, Izabel, takes center stage as her past comes to light. Alana and Marko’s fragile trust is tested as old secrets emerge and danger draws closer.
Review:
An emotionally resonant chapter that deepens the story’s heart. Izabel’s backstory adds poignancy, and Hazel’s narration ties it all together beautifully. It’s quieter, but hits harder — a reminder that Saga’s greatest strength is its humanity.

Lo que empezó como un atrevidísimo planteamiento se estabiliza y empieza una historia que promete ser épica. Este número pertenece al volumen 2 de 9, y me ha gustado muchísimo, igual que el primero. Sigo leyendo, convencido de que van a pasar miles de cosas. No me han hecho spoilers salvo decirme que pasan cosas chulas, alegres pero también tristes, así que por si acaso no quiero encapricharme con los personajes.

Creo que no seguiré el comic, no se me hizo una gran historia, en los 8 capítulos pasados y se me hizo pesado, muy confuso, y el dibujo me cansaba la vista, no se, no congenie con ningún personaje, ni la historia, todo se me hacia MEH!.
Este comic tiene grandes expectativas cuando te dan la reseña, pero en si no siento que fuera tanto en mi opinión.

Me gusto, aunque honestamente cambiaría la portada, se me hace tan de ese tipo de novelas románticas en las que hay sexo y un trama ya muy cliché, (las cuales son de las pocas cosas en la lectura, que si puedo las evito lo más que pueda). Pero de ahí en fuera, la historia en si misma, me encantó.

I absolutely adore this series now. I read it as much as I can in between my work shifts. The artwork is sexy, colorful, and so freakin weird! I just cannot get enough of this!
I also should not be surprised that the author has no problem

I like this new girl. Maybe they’ll keep her

Very much a surprise ending. It's a shame we will have to wait awhile to find out what is next. The graphics are fantastic and I may read the whole thing over from the beginning.
