Saga this is for you:
One huge problem I had with this is that it ended way too quickly. I need more, I need it now.
This is one of my very favorite graphic novel series. This first volume of Saga starts out as a kind of scifi Romeo and Juliet story told by the progeny of the two protagonists, but the story is actually far more than that and this introduction to their universe is a page-turning masterpiece with extraordinary artwork and a fun plot!
Totally unexpected. Weird. Awesome.
Wow.
That was something. I was so not expecting these things, just on the first issue.
I want more!!! I definitely want more! :)
PS: Not recommended for readers below 18.

Sci-fi, fantasy, romance, adventure, humor, suspense, action, magic, inter-galactic war, space-opera... All at a perfect harmonious balance in a beautifully illustrated and visually captivating comic-book form with writer Brian K. Vaughan's usual wonderfully addictive storytelling and instantly likable, thoughtful characterizations. And everything combining in a rich, engrossing world of mythology mixing both Science-Fiction and Fantasy. What more do I need?

Cleverly told, wonderful characters, beautiful art - a perfect first foray into graphic novels. Can't wait to read the next instalment.
My first graphic novel read from a to z. I did a few tries before but never was I drawn into comics: either I didn’t like the drawings, or I found the dialogues stupid; until now.
The thing that made me started it in the first place is that it isn’t suffocated by too many scenes on a single page and too many words on it. It has space, you canbreathe read and get to enjoy each line, colour and letter.

Now that is how a graphic novel should read. That was very enjoyable. I could well get into graphic novels if there was more of this stuff around.
The art work was really well done and i thoroughly loved getting to know our two main characters. The artist attention to detail was awesome and you could really sense the mood of the scene from the character expressions or implied movement.

I just read this in my lunch break AND LOVED IT!
MORE.
MORE.
Amazing!!
This was my first experience with a graphic novel. I'd read several manga before, but to see huge, fleshy coloured pages with characters who, for once, are devoid of big eyes and huge grins was a gust of fresh air. Now, I don't know a thing about graphic novels and have little idea about what specific factors and particular issues to look for and comment on in one, therefore my review would be somewhat spontaneous and trying its best to tackle this new face of entertainment.

This graphic novel was so weird... but I liked it. I need the second volume!
I am a comic book fan. I love comic books, graphic novels, you name it. Especially when it comes to things outside of the big 2. I also love romance stories and adventures set in space. Which is why I was so excited to pick up Saga. Perhaps my expectations were set a bit too high.
The big positive on the book is the artwork. The lines and colors are fantastic and compellingly convey the emotional landscape of the book. The plot, however, feels too disconnected and indulgent. There doesn't seem t ...more

Thanks to a local comic bookstore for giving me this complimentary comic.
It's the first issue of a new series, a cross between Star Wars and A Game of Thrones. And I really liked it. So much diversity of characters, setting, design. Gritty artwork. Fascinating story and scintillating characters.
Now I need to find the rest of the series!

My first graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. Super fast read, imaginative characters and a good laugh. I will definitely be reading the next in this series.
I loved this! A great first volume to what everyone says is an incredible series, I'm eager to continue reading!
Really fucking weird and genuinely LOL-worthy and literally out of this world. Also, I need a copy of "A Night Time Smoke" now.
Great start to what seems to be an interesting series
Actual rating: 4.5
LOVED
- Marko and Alana
- Also they named their kid Hazel which is perfect (I'm biased obv)
- Love the dialogue and humor
- Very interesting world
- I want to read more!!!!!

I am very aware that I'm the one freak who doesn't like this book. I hate hate HATE Romeo and Juliet stories and I wouldn't have read this had I known that this was basically Romeo in Juliet in space with aliens. My friend talked this book up and kept telling me how amazing it was, but I just couldn't get over how much I hated the two main characters.
I'm sure the series gets better once it becomes less about LOOK AT THESE STAR CROSSED LOVERS and more about whatever the series is actually about, ...more

The art is really beautiful, Marko is a cutie and Alana seems very interesting - I'll have to read the full version to be sure.
My favorite part: robots doing the naughty! Go, baby! >:D
