COMIC Review

Saga

 

This is a Romeo and Juliet/Sci-Fi/Star Wars/Fantasy!
 
Ok, I know that sounds confusing.  But this comic is set in a Star Wars-like world with a war going on in the background.  It starts with the birth of a baby amidst the fact that the mom and dad are wanted criminals. 
 
saga

This first issue can be a little confusing though because they are introducing all of the characters and the worlds involved.  I would assume that as the issues go on everything will come into perspective. 

 

Brian Vaughn, the artist, is known for Y the Last Man.  Fiona Staples, the writer, does a great job in that while the story is being told there is some background text that is from the baby's perspective. 

 

I personally do not normally like Sci-Fi comics but I will continue to reading this series because of the character development that the first issue brought. 

 

I would recommend this comic!

 

Lastly, this comic is for mature readers as it does contain adult language and nudity.-----Louis

 

 
Thank you so much for your support of our new comic and game shop.  We look forward to taking care of all of your comic and game needs.
