The Brand is SO kickass!

And OMG Sophie with glasses!

And OMG we're going to Demimonde!

And UGH. I'm not sure how I feel about that sex scene.

And WTF! His ex wife?!

And OMG that's an awesome alliance!

Saga makes me feel so much in just a few pages... *happy smile*

Another of those saga episodes that looks beautiful, reads beautifully, but is exquisitely unsatisfying like great sex that ends prematurely and leaves you wanting more.

Saga #24 is pretty much the start of the next saga of Saga. So many things have happened, people killed, places visited that this one starts us off in the new directions.

It was great to see Lying Cat again.

It was also good to see the Will, we need him back in the story.

The cast is very limited in this one which keeps me from giving it more than 4 Stars.

I really love this series.

Hehe, čim sam vidio čovjeka tuljana znao sam da će ovo biti dobra epizoda!:-)

Zadnja epizoda četvrtog dijela je malo popravila ukupni dojam, ali to ne pomaže puno, ove prethodne su bile poprilično nezanimljive, daleko od ovo od onih početnih odličnih epizoda.

Čini se da Vaughan ovo štanca na auto pilotu.

I love this series. I love the politics, the sociology, the symbolism, the metaphors. Saga have completely changed my view of comic books. I was so silly to assume that they had no value and purpose other than to entertain.

Gwendolyn and co are on a mission to find a cure for The Will and Prince Robot IV and Marco seem to have become allies! That should be interesting...

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the fourth volume. In other words, chapters nineteen through twenty-four.


Saga volume four gives us chapters nineteen to twenty-four, and it’s pulled the solid four-star rating from me that I knew the series was capable of. In fact, volume four has pushed me into the realm of back-to-back reading. The moment I finished volume four, volume five appeared in my hand.

I’m at the stage where I’m hooked, addicted, and in desperate need of more.

By this point in Saga, I’m in love with all the strange and wonderful things being offered. I’m lost to the universe we’ve been introduced to, I’m desperate for more of the wonderful storylines developing, and I’m overly invested in the characters.

Despite how strange this one is – and I know it will not be for everyone due to this – it’s a story that leaves you desperate for more. Once you start, you cannot stop.

Without a doubt, this is an addiction I’m happy to have.

Holy Frick, I didn't see these combos forming. Proves you gotta do things for family that you would think you will never do.

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.

Absolutamente fantástico este volumen 4, que mezcla varias storylines más y empieza a generar un megafollón que solo podemos intuir. Por un lado la serie baja de vueltas, la familia de Marko y Alana necesita ocultarse y ella consigue trabajo en una especie de telenovela grabada en vivo. Por otro lado, aparecen más contratistas chungos, personajes de todo pelaje (literalmente) y avanzamos, mientras el matrimonio de los protas tiene altos, bajos y profundos, hacia más encontronazos futuros entre varios de los protagonistas, que están convergiendo. Adictivo, fantásticamente dibujado.

Saga #24 – Chapter Twenty-Four

Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Fiona Staples
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: September 2014
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

Summary:
The threads finally converge as Marko and Alana’s separate paths lead them back toward one another — but not without cost. Hazel’s narration takes a somber turn as violence erupts once again.

Review:
Heart-pounding and emotional. The reunion carries weight precisely because Vaughan let the distance linger so long. Staples’ art delivers on every emotional beat, from chaos to tenderness. A standout issue in this arc.

Ghüs steps up his campaign to be the most fan-favoritest character of the whole series, though other cool stuff happens in this issue too.

Everything about Saga works together brilliantly, though I’m noticing more of the individual elements on this reread. In this issue, the beautiful color work really struck me — in particular, the purple pink sunset behind the purple blue rock face in the background of the Brand and Gwendolyn’s confrontation is just stunning.

1. Ghus is back!!!!
2. Finally: little Sophie has actual clothing.
3. Gross: “Cunting cunt. Gonna eat yer filthy cervix.”
4. The Will and The Stalk. Not into their relationship.
5. I love Marlo’s new look.
6. And I also love that IV and Marko have teamed up.

I like the part wherein Marko and Prince Robot IV is ready to kick some ass from Dengo with the help of Ghüss/Yuma. Plus Sophie is now eight years old helping Gwendolyn to find a cure for The Will and The Brand appears.
