Review
“While the book works as a poignant love story and an indictment of prejudice, trippy visuals and clever dialog make this Romeo and Juliet space opera a lot of fun as well.” ― Library Journal
“Vaughan’s witty dialogue is laced with universal commonalities—the sharp fingernails of babies, burping techniques, love—that ground the alien nature of the characters and heighten the sense that the war between planet and moon and the hatred between enemies is tragically pointless. Staples’s character designs are fantastic—even the weirdest aliens reveal human emotion—and her two-page spreads, whether of battle or of tree-grown rocket ships, are glorious. This is a completely addictive, human story that will leave readers desperately awaiting the next volume.” ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality… a sprawling tale that shuffles the beats of numerous genres, including pulp romance, road trip, Western, dark comedy, and political thriller. And much of Saga focuses less on prejudice and more on smaller-scale pains that can be devastating in their own right.” ― The Atlantic
“The kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comic…Saga is Heavy Metal eclecticism synthesized into a singular, sprawling narrative a la Cerberus or The Walking Dead—a vast sandbox built for neverending castle-building.” ― Entertainment Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ Fantastic volume: #1-54 of an INCREDIBLE series
A beautiful, poignant, dark, sad, and often hilarious series. Oh boy, this is a roller coaster of emotions: some of the best-written, realistically-motivated comics characters you could root for face so much struggle throughout their adventures. A huge cast of characters might be difficult to keep track of IF you read this month-to-month, but reading it straight through solves this problem (because it is so much of a page-turner that I blew through all 1000+ pages of it in about a month). MUST READ!!! The only people I wouldn't reccomend this to are those who might be put off by graphic violence or sex, but these situations occur rather infrequently and have a tangible, important effect on the story !!!So, my copy was slightly damaged at the edges but I don't care--I intend to borrow this to all of my friends who show the slightest interest so they can experience it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sucked me in on page 1
Don't read a lot of graphic novels. I couldn't put this down. Wonderful storyline. Beautifully drawn. The xxx bits are a little disturbing. But I cared deeply about all the main characters.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hey! Not sure it will be good enough to soend money on? It is, it actually is!
Love this comic! If you are looking for quality, art , a solid storyline, good characters good&naughty, and just an all around worth while book to get into then you dont have to worry about spending your money here. No dissapointment... None, zilch, nada! Worth every penny. It showed up via the handy dandy Bolo delivery guy ans was in perfect shape, not a knick or dent. I'm always wary of getting reading materials when i cant peruse the pages to find out if the story is quality enough to spend money on but hot d@mΩ im really glad I took a leap in this one. Saga has a storyline that isnt dissapointing amd the artwork in it alome can stand on its own 2. I really really really like it! It can be rough finding a story thata actually really good and well written and this one has be so happy its actually the first time i felt i really needed to poat a review on Bolo( like this is literally my first Bolo review ever) i wanted to write it to put whoever is considering buying thia things mind at ease bc the main thing i wantes to know isnif it was worth my money, if it was interesting enough and good enough of a book to soend what is roughly 3 hours of my work earnings on ut, a few days of anticipation of its delivary and days worth ir reading the thing or if it wish id not have bothered too... But honestly, this comic is amazing and i will be definetly spensing more money fir the rest of the story and I am totally pleased with what I got in thia purchase.So do it! If yiyr on the fence, yes, im as picky and particular as you are bahaha you are goid to go :-)
5.0 out of 5 stars Loving it
very exciting read. I enjoyed the swashbuckling between the characters. the artwork is very good. I'm looking forward to the next characters & chapters.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Sci-Fi Masterpiece
As one of those underfed, undersunned, undersocialized yet horrifically garrulous book lovers who thinks of titles like War & Peace & Earthly Powers as light reading & feels empty without a daily dose of Yeats or Dickinson, Kierkegaard or Plato, I'm humbled (& thrilled) to proclaim from the mountaintops -- as it were -- that Saga is already among one of the greatest things I've ever read & an absolute masterpiece of fantasy/sci-fi/human storytelling
5.0 out of 5 stars Over 1,300 pages, collecting issues 1-54; The Most Binge-Worthy Read I Have Ever Owned!!!
What can I say? Oh, I know: BUY THIS BOOK!!! The artist and the author both love the medium and after consuming this masterpiece I love THEM! I have no idea what real world rock I was under when these 54 issues were first published but I am so thankful for this beautifully collected, all-in-one volume now! I skimmed over this during a last minute round of Christmas shopping, saw some things that interested me and took a chance, ordering it for myself. I didn't want to ask anyone for it as a gift because I couldn't guarantee I would love it and I didn't want to put anyone under that stress a week away from Christmas but needless to say SAGA is AMAZING! It's mature, liberally irreverent, silly, graphic, personal, romantic, insightful, adventurous, provocative...on and on and ON!!! I have never been so overwhelmingly satisfied by what was essentially a blind purchase in my life! Without a single preconceived notion I got this 1300-page behemoth in its glossy, square bound format and was unable to put it down! Truly worthy of the designation "Graphic Novel", this book and all it's mature content is for ADULTS and is worthy of a good spot on your bookshelf. I have even considered buying a second copy so that I don't have to stress over what I do to this copy reading and rereading it! Did I say "buy this book" yet? BUY THIS BOOK! And look out, the next leg in the saga of SAGA is going to launch soon with issue #55 so hurry and visit this universe, you'll be glad you came!
5.0 out of 5 stars A great adventure so far
Almost to the end and I put this title off for a long time, it has been a fantastic read so far.I love the compendium medium because you get so much for a better price and you can binge away.It’s a good journey so far
4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing graphic novel with weak presentation
Amazing! Love Saga so far. As my first graphic novel, it's living up to its reputation as a Star Wars and Game of Thrones esque story. But the cover with the hand bothers me. It doesn't really portray the tone not how epic it is. It looks more like a young adult fiction novel cover. That's just the vibe it gives. The individual volumes have cooler art. So hopefully with next version it gets a fitting cover.
Amazing artwork to depict a story that is a work of both violent and compassionate imagination
Go for this full volume rather than muck around with individual issues. That will allow you to get as absorbed as you want to be into this amazing story arc.
