Book Review: Saga, Volumes 1-9 by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples

Saga, Volumes 1-9
by Brian K. Vaughn, with illustrator Fiona Staples (741.5 Vau)

 

The title Saga says it all. This comic series, full of interplanetary beings, love and war is action-packed and vibrantly illustrated. Full of social commentary and deep themes that explore equality and otherness, these volumes explore the story of a interracial family trying to make it in a universe gone mad. The beautiful, emotional art is not for the faint of heart. Expect some vulgarity and mind-bending mature content mixed in with your romance and action.

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Monstress by Marjorie Liu or The Interdependency series by John Scalzi.)
