the casual use of slurs (specifically the r-slur, the f-slur and the s-slur) was so unnecessary and it ruined the books for me.

a b c d e Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Four" Saga,no.4(June 2012).Image Comics. The book was announced at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International, [4] and was billed as " Star Wars meets A Game of Thrones" in solicitations. [1] Saga represents the first time Vaughan has employed narration in his comics writing, a decision influenced by the whimsical interaction between the text and images in the children's books he reads with his children, and by his desire to try something new that he felt would work well with Saga 's narrator, Hazel. [5] It is also his first series to be published through Image Comics, [18] whom he selected as the series' publisher on the recommendation of the writer Jay Faerber, who cited the creative freedom afforded by that publisher. [15] Vaughan elaborated on his selection of Image thus: The dialogue feels very natural and candid, the character designs are unique and the art in general is just very pleasing to the eye. A very positive start! Welcome to Sextillion, bitchesss!Ratcliffe, Amy (April 26, 2013). "Felicia Day’s Character Wore An Awesome Saga T-Shirt On Supernatural". Fashionably Geek. The secondary characters are also great. The plot follows several different groups like Game of Thrones, so you'll switch between the main group, bounty hunters, a royal family, etc. They've all got their own agenda, it's all intertwined, and none of it is boring. There is also excellent representation in this book. There are a wide variety of skin tones, gender expressions, and sexualities in the cast, and I thought it was all done really well.

The book's release was celebrated with a launch party at Los Angeles' Meltdown Comics which featured a public conversation with Vaughan's former colleague, Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, [13] who had hired Vaughan as a writer/producer on that series in 2007. [27] Vaughan also promoted the book by appearing at signings at Midtown Comics in Manhattan [28] and Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn during the week of the first issue's release.

Yes, so I realize I never posted a review of the absolutely stunning, thrilling, wildly-entertaining beautiful piece of work that is Saga. Honestly how dare I. Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapters Thirteen – Eighteen" Saga,no.13–18(August 2013 – January 2014).Image Comics. Violence is also a major part of the series, with the war between two superpowers (kind of techno utopia versus fantasy magicians) leading to collateral damage to many worlds and characters. Mercenaries turn out to be saviors to children, casual victims have relatives who want revenge, the ripples of violence are profound and our main characters are far from being perfect. In a sense I was reminded of Star Wars Omnibus: Knights of the Old Republic, Volume 1 which I really enjoyed as a teenager.
