Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples need to produce a crappy issue of Saga already. That way, I would have something new to say instead of the usual praise that spews from my fingers.
You know, how Saga is "the best there is", "the best there was", and "the best there ever will be".
That sort of praise is standard for this series because the superb craftsmanship that exudes through every page, every panel, and every word balloon in this book. Alana and Marko are a duo that you just have to love and their opening sex scene speaks to their passion under unfortunate circumstances.
Baby Isabel’s narration makes you care about everything that’s happening even more because we are witnessing events of days gone by which could mean the stars of our story are already dead. Knowing this makes you cross your fingers and hope they survived all of this star-crossed prejudice. That is the least they deserve considering Marko’s father makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his family which occurs just as he warms up to the idea of his granddaughter being of two races by commenting on her beautiful eyes.
Saga is the gift that keeps on giving because not only is every issue absolutely amazing but it just keeps getting better and better.
Grade: A
