    Default Saga Discussion Thread

    I looked around and only saw threads for individual issues. Thought it would be nice to have a thread for the whole series now that it is rolling. To start off maybe we could talk about our favorite characters/issues so far. Also, is anyone willing to make guesses about where this plot is going?

    I'm big on The Will (Lying Cat) and Prince Robot IV (too bad he wasn't in #4!). I think #2 was the best issue so far, but they have all been stellar. I'm also completely in love with the letter pages every issue, BKV is hilarious.

    I read the first one and quite enjoyed it, once I got where it was coming from (it took me a bit to figure out what the hell I was reading). I have #4, but I am waiting to read it until I can get re-issues of #2 and #3. My local shop owner said he had them on order, but didn't know when he would be getting them in.

    Yeah if you don't have them on your pull they are kind of hard to come by. I think the #1 has printed five times already! Maybe this means my first printing will be worth a chunk of change someday...I probably should have bought a couple when I had the chance.

    Yes I love whatever the hell this is. By the time you read through to the 4th issue, you will pretty much be completely comfortable in this wack universe. I love how BKV and Fiona blend so many genres of fiction together, yet it still seems completely coherent.

    I got the 5th printing of Saga #1. I was lucky my shop had 1 copy left. I hope to get the reprints of #2 and #3 this week. There seems to be a high enough demand around here that the shop will hopefully get it this week.

    I really like the art. The "fuzzy" look to it gave it a more surreal feel, which really added to the fantasy story. Great comic.

    I have right next to me #2 and #3 and my aunt will come tomorrow with #1 (I have read it online), so I wait to read them all together for maximum enjoyment.

    Fiona's art is top notch. The sort of "scratchy" pencils and bright colors work well together. The reflections and computer elements aren't over the top, but just right. I'm so excited for both of you! Wish I could erase my memory and read the last 3 over again. I guess I'll just wait in eager anticipation for yet another month.

    I was thrown off by the TV heads at first, but when I realized they were robots that looked and basically acted like humans, I was able to just go with it. It's a unique robot design.

    Was lucky enough to find a first print of issue #1 shortly after it came out and it's been on my pull list ever since. The opening page of #4 was some wacky stuff but it fits with the book. I'm loving it this series I just wish it were longer (but isn't that what we always wish for the good comics). I'm interested in what's going to happen if/when The Will catches up with Marko and Alana. Can't wait to see that show down.
    Pull List: Ghostbusters, Saga, Invincible, Guarding the Globe, Cyber Force, Hellboy in Hell, Punk Rock Jesus and Happy

    Well I was a really big fan of Y and Ex Machina (still havent finished either though - just love knowing they are there) so I was excited for this series for months. When the promo art started coming out I was elated. It turned out even better than I had hoped. It's nice to see a writer as talanted as BKV paired with Fiona. I wasn't big on the art style in Y, and this is even better than Ex Machina.

    HELP!

    Saga is not listed in the recent previews. Any word on this? Perhaps an accident or they are skipping a month? I just hope I wasn't confused and it is only a 6 issue story.

    Ah. Thanks, bud.

    I just barely got into it this month, and it is already my favorite title. I might have cried if it ended soon.

    Drat, now I really have to wait. Oh well, would rather have a good product than something rushed.

    Edit: Is it skipping after issue 6 or next month?
