Saga Discussion Thread

[Bob Fett]

I can't picture this being written and drawn by any other creative team.I'm genuinely excited to get this book and read it.Can't say this about too many these days.

Just got the first issue for free on comixology! Can't wait to start reading.

Beauty of an issue, once again. So much feels of happy and sad and laughter and tears. Loved the fact that there seems to be a full language for the Wreath's, hopefully we will get a dictionary soon :P. Little confused by the last comment Hazel made, but besides that, it was emotionally satisfying for my monthly Saga needs.

Also, that first letter in the To Be Continued... <3

The language is Esperanto. You can type the dialogue into google translate and get the gist of what is being said.

I just wanna say that I'm three issues in and Saga is already my new favorite comic. Fantastic on every level, art, story and so on. Only Hawkeye and Daredevil come close to this book for me.

beyond awesome.. best romance story ive ever read


just trying to figure out a way to slip the "big line" into conversation today


doesnt look like its going to happen

[Batman9]

Read the 1st issue, can't wait to read more!

[InformationGeek]

Haven't read it, but I heard this was a line in the comic: "I came like a dump truck."

That's really not a line from the comic is it? Because if it is, I'm not sure how to react to it. It sounds like a line from a porn story or a sex comedy.


Okay, I'm continuing to slowly catch up on this comic. If you all recall, I was the good who thought the first issue was nothing special. I didn't care for the characters or the art, I found the dialogue average, and the story a patchwork of many other stories that came before it. So, 7 or 8 (I forget) issues later...

it's now kind of average to me. It's not as bad as I thought, but it's still not really doing it for me. I still don't see what is so special about the art, the characters I'm now just indifferent to (except for that robot prince. I kind of like him since I find myself sympathizing with him and his life), the dialogue occasionally has a good line, and I do applaud the story for having many different stories and subplots going on in it so there is always something going on (unlike other comics I read).

However, I still find myself unable to take it completely seriously. The imagery and some of the dialogue really throws me out of the story at points (that whole sex planet stuff, the monster with his junk out, the comment about liking her own breast milk). It's a real hindrance for me.

I'll keep going with it, but I still have yet to be truly impressed.

It is. And it's not even the dirtiest quote in that conversation.

lol comic book readers that are prudes

[Batman9]

They do seem like horny mother*ckers in this comic, lmao. But hey, if you don't like it, there are plenty of other books out there. I flipped through 11 and one of the first things I saw was Marko saying "Just to be clear, your exact words were 'just shoot it out of my twat'". Haha

I agree. I've had similar conversations afterwards with my wife or previously girlfriends plenty of times. Like nobody else goes over the game film afterwards, come on.
