REVIEW: Saga #7

[MrMancha]

the shock is there, but its not to the driving force behind whose reading the book, we love the story we love the characters its a mature scfi book

[agent_graves]

This book is amazing. Brian and Fiona are killing it!

QFT...I absolutely, love this book.

I love BKV's writing, but have grown tired of the shocking panels that he's having drawn every issue.

This book is amazing. Brian and Fiona are killing it!....

I totally agree!! There is nothing about this title that I don't love! Well, maybe the Ogre....but Fiona Staples warned us ahead of time...

I love BKV's writing, but have grown tired of the shocking panels that he's having drawn every issue.

Yeah that and the cursing reminds me why most mature readers books aren't my thing. Use these in service to the story and the characters, great. But every single issue with some gratuitous moment, it starts to detract from the characters and their story...

Which brings me to the real reason why I can't get into this book: I don't like or care about Alana, Marko or Hazel.

Fatale gives me all the mature I need as part of the story.

I am glad that people love it.

I read the trade of issues 1-6, and then issue 7 today. I love it. Easily one of the best comic books I've read.

I might actually read it all again later this week.

Welcome the in-laws..

I just read the first trade and issue #7 today. This is now my favorite current read. Excellent story and the art style matches it well.

Love this comic, but I agree with some of the people on here. Some of the "shocking" panels, I find more annoying then shocking.

Great issue none the less though. Tight writing, great art. Can't wait for the next one.

[AZBarbarian]

I wish more people were shocked by exploding heads than genitalia.

[Mr. Holmes]

7 issues in, and I'm still not over how American and 21st century the dialogue is. I suppose it's no worse than assuming all space opera characters speak aristocratic British English, but I'm still getting used to it.

[Desaad]

Because it's not actually taking place in space.

I wish more people were shocked by exploding heads than genitalia.

Personally, I find both shocking, but my feelings towards the shock depend on how writer used it. I find shock value to be personally eye rolling and annoying unless it adds something to the tale in a good way. MW, Funny Games, and Nemesis examples of how not to use shock for various reason. My only experience with Saga is the first and the seventh issue and I'm starting the question the use of it. Maybe it's used right in the other issues?

[earth2sara]

I'm obsessed with this series!!!

[Mr. Holmes]

Because it's not actually taking place in space.

As in, the whole story is basically a big allegory?
