5 Please say no STARS
Honestamente amiguitos, no importa si estoy leyendo un Volumen de 130 paginas o un Issue de 43 páginas, cuando se trata de Saga, nada es suficiente. Siempre quedo con ganas de más.
Tendré que aprender a fortalecer mi paciencia, ya que voy a tener que esperar un mes para la salida de cada Issue.
SPOILER ALERT
La historia se complica, tenemos a dos parejas interraciales, dos niños mal portados, una pareja de reporteros, una mascota y a Ghus. Todos en fuga, de camino a ninguna parte a bordo de una Nave espacial en forma de árbol.
La historia de Bill , no le veo sentido, pero se que termina siendo muy importante para la trama principal.
El drama entre la convivencia dentro de la nave me pareció muy entretenido y creo que están poniendo sobre la mesa varias posibles traiciones.
El Príncipe IV, ustedes saben que lo adoro, pero se pasa de caliente, si ya lo dije y no me arrepiento. Una de las razones por las que me gusta tanto, es por lo extremadamente sexy que es, la imagen detallada de su pene aun la tengo guardada en mi memoria. Pero pareciera que basa toda su vida, y decisiones siguiendo lo que el pene le dice. No me quejo ya que me encanta verlo tan “fluido”, pero declarándole su amor a Petri me pareció precipitado y fake, según estaba super enamorado de Alana y ahora resulta que ya se enamoró de Petri.
Hazel sigue de mal portada, no aprende, en el pasado la vimos tratar mal a Izabel y en este le dice algo super cruel a Squire. Alguien necesita educarla y no dejarla al cuidado de quien sea.
"Anyone can kill you, but it takes someone you know to really HURT you. It takes someone you love to break your heart."

Good start for a new arc but I think I'm losing interest in it...

JFKHDKFJFHJJG i’m living for this cover. shady and relatable, as always. can’t wait!

Güs with his onesie open at the bottom is the most ridiculous yet adorable thing ever. Forget the drama, I'm down for a Güs spin-off where nothing ever happens and he's just the happiest little guy in the universe! Although, it would be nice to know how they all came back from that abortion planet, and why they decided it was time to get Squire back, and where did Marko got that cool armor, and so on. But Sir Robot's betrayal (btw fuck you dude, Alana's supposed to be your bff now wth?!) and the terrible consequences it will inevitably bring? It can all go to hell, let me have Güs' adventures instead!

Love Robot+Petri. But i see some deep s** happening if those brilliant idea of his is on.
Hazel deserves a new personality and lot of spanking. This character is so annoyig that i don't get why all the trouble the parents are living for her, just let her die.
Those seekers of revenge -imaginary or not- uf. Still a bit puzzle for the survival of The Will.

Just finished reading this issue!!!! It wasn't as amazing as I expected it, probably because I had high hopes for the new arc. However, I'm still extremely excited to read issue 50 to see how everything goes. I love Ghüs so much.

Oh damn. The Saga gang is all together in this brand new arc; and it’s looking to get a little dicey.
February 28, 2018
Lots of naked Will, and sex, and also children fighting (both physically and verbally). Lots of Saga-y goodness and I'm glad this title is back!

and we're back to heartbreak and devastation and the gruelling wait of a month between each issue

Saga is the kind of comic that keeps you hooked to every line without requiring an action-packed issue.
It's also the kind of comic you shouldn't read in public places. Forget reading on public transport or sitting in park or while waiting for your friend with this.
It's always a good idea to rifle through the pages at home before venturing to take it out of your bag on the bus.
SO MARK MY WORDS.
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME YOU DONT HAVE TO TURN FARTHER THAN PAGE 1 FOR
THIS ONE.
Nonetheless enjoy your read, wherever you decide it should be.

The return of Saga with a new six issue run. This issue kicked things off again with a seed of the most dramatic plot development. Will it grow or lead to more drama and difficulties for our misfit family? Can't wait for issue #50.
March 1, 2018
Yas! New SAGA, friendos! Promising start for the new arc!
February 28, 2018
This keeps spinning new moments that make me go "oh" in that surprised-I'm-still-surprised-after-all-this-time kind of way. I did that, like, five times in this issue.
I loved the monologue for purple-gem-face. I too had a moment like Hazel's, when I told a kid in grade school that it didn't matter if I didn't have a Nintendo, I had a dad. I regretted it just as quickly. And the reporters offering their deal is one of those moments where Vaughan shines with this series. He invents a whole brand new universe-logic that we just walked into with this issue. And it propels the plot and takes me along whole-heartedly convinced that this new element makes perfect sense.
And of course, Staples' art is topping, whether it's exposed junks, or families asleep. I just love how she presents each panel.
Win. Win. Win.
(I'm experimenting with a personal checklist in order to understand what I look for in the genre. This got 44.25/50)

Oh, now I have to wait. Great. That’s the thing with this graphic novel: you became an addict to it.

These days, I guess a lot of kids interact with each other over screens. But I'm grateful that all of my interactions were in person. It's a real gift for young people to be able to see the face of someone they've just hurt. In that moment, you learn whether or not you have what it takes to be a killer.
Anyone can kill you, but it takes somenone you know to really HURT you.
It takes someone you love to break your heart.

But we couldn't have given less of a shit."

Petrichor is treated so well in this series and this issue is no exception. I love the start of this new arc.
