Saga, Vol. 3

When two worlds are at war for as long as Landfall and Wreath have been fighting, the wounds are almost impossible to heal. They fester and rot until everyone involved has suffered in some inconceivable way. In Brian K Vaughan's third volume of Saga, the two star-crossed lovers find themselves hurtling through the stars to find a safe place for to raise their child.Alana and Marko weren't sure where in the world it was safe to take Hazel, but they thought the man who was responsible for her even existing might be the place to start. D. Oswart Heist was an author who wrote the very book that made them think they could act on the chemistry between them. When they arrive, they are half surprised and half not, to find Heist drunk, disheveled, and blathering like an idiot. His planet of Quietus is even less warm and inviting, but they have no choice but to explore every option to keep Hazel safe.On Quietus they learn a lot about themselves. With Marko's mother still grieving the loss of his father and Izabel, their ghostly appendage, taking care of Hazel, they get to know Heist, the tortured literary genius with more darkness inside him than hope these days. Meanwhile, The Will is still hunting them, and the story of their marriage and their baby is still feared to be the catalyst for a revolution in a world where no one wants this war to continue. Hazel is a symbol of everything Wreath and Landfall have failed to do for the people of the universe, and too many people want that symbol gone.There is just something about this story that sucks me in with each volume. I recommended this series to a student recently, one who isn't an avid reader, and he was so into the story, he stayed up all night to read the first volume and couldn't wait to tell me about it. That is what I call one seriously awesome story! While Alana and Marko and the others are an interesting story arc, the other stories, like the Will and the two journalists, are just as interesting. I think each new story arc is so awesome, it could be its own complete series! But how they all tie in together and twist and turn is addictive. So give this series a shot if you haven't already. You won't be sorry! (unless you are dying for volume 4 like me!)

This just might be the best thing going on in the world of comics right now. There is nothing about this series that isn't top notch. The artwork is beautiful and original without being weird. The characters are interesting and fun, the dialogue is spot on and fun when it wants to be fun and sad and serious when it wants that. I'm continually shocked each time I finish a volume by just how short it was because Vaughan manages to cram just so much story in so few pages.This story picks up the cliff hanger ending of book 2 with the main characters trapped by the robot prince, it still amazes me that something so corny as a robot prince isn't at all in context of the story. This volume covers a lot of back story but still manages to advance the main story line quite a bit.I love the humor. I generally laugh out loud at least once a book and find a smile on my face throughout But when it turns serious you find tears gathering at the corners of your eyes. I haven't broken down just yet and started buying the comics as they come out but volume 4 will definitely be preordered. If you're reading this and haven't started the series do. If you have and are wandering if it's kept true to its beginnings it has.

Again as the story opens up and continues its just another wow after another. Story is fantastic, love the characters and learning more and more about them. Love the clean, beautiful art, and the writing that's like a children's hand writing and these amazing characters from all over these great interstellar planets. I love this story and can't wait to see where it goes.

Volume 3 of Saga continues the story of star-crossed lovers from enemy peoples caught in an endless, bitter war, with a step up in quality from the first two (already good) volumes. Back are ram-horned Marko and insect-winged Alana, along with their as-dangerous-as-an-idea child, Marko’s mother, and a ghost babysitter with no lower body; freelancer The Will and Marko’s ex-fiancée Gwendolyn, along with a rescued child sex slave and a Lying Cat; and the TV-headed prince of the robot kingdom. Newcomers include a pair of blue and green tabloid reporters and the writer D. Oswald Heist, briefly introduced at the end of the last volume.Things start off slow. We step back to see what happens before the robot prince arrives at Quietus, The Will et al. are temporarily sidelined on a planet more dangerous than it appears while he gets his ship repaired, and we get a new storyline of the tabloid reporters looking into Alana’s story. It’s good stuff in the interim, though (more on that in a bit), and things come to a head and get action packed as everyone converges toward the end of the volume.Saga has always had two central threads running through it: parenthood and war. And it has always dealt with the former much better than the latter. The addition of Heist who, along with Marko’s mother, acts as a wise, grandparently foil to Marko and Alana’s young person’s foolishness, is welcome. And this volume thankfully rarely ruminates on war (with one notable exception, which makes up for it with utter ridiculousness).

Love the art, story and characters…. the only thing I don’t like is knowing there is a finite number of these comics. Enjoying the story so much… stop reading this and go read the comic.

Really enjoying. Great writing. Beautiful art.

¿Qué puedo escribir? Saga se ha consolidado dentro de mis series favoritas con sólo 3 volúmenes. Los conflictos físicos y emocionales llegan a tope y la intensidad es bien recibida como lector, no quedando más que agradecer a los autores por su excelente y continuo trabajo en el título. Las consecuencias son palpables y uno sólo reza por que sea solucionado de forma positiva para los protagonistas, tristemente Saga no es una historia así, pero "arriba la esperanza, abuelita".

Bellissimo fumetto della Image Comics, imperdibile per chi ama la fantascienza e delle storie più "adulte" con una trama avvincente e dei disegni spettacolari! dopo poco che ho iniziato a seguirlo in inglese è stato pubblicato in italia dalla Bao Publishig, ma non rimpiango nulla: la lingua non è difficile e i disegni aiutano tanto.il libro è arrivato puntuale e in perfette condizioni.

Era para un regalo, el destinatario encantado por que pensaba que no los iba a conseguir en España, y menos a este precio.
