So this marks the beginning of a new story arc and this means new locations, new characters and maybe some returning characters. This issue has it all, but what it also has is an ominous feel that everything is going to end so horribly bad, and I'm scared, like really scared. I think I recall Brian K. Vaughan naming this "Saga's first major event" or something like that, and it sure feels like the start of something that's gonna effect the series in a big way.

"Every new world we visited was an adventure. And few adventures ended worse than this one."
This was amazing, and really got the Saga spirit inspired by the stuff of stars that wasn't all that present in the last arc. This my end up being more amazing than all the previous of Saga... and that scares me.

Ahh! This was so good. When is this not good?

I've started to get into single issues rather than waiting for the volume bind-ups recently.

This issue is the beginning of a new story ARC and it was a damn good introduction!

That little family...so cute but, are they friendly?!

On to the next issue!

It's so weird reading this as a floppy, but man was it good. I really like Peteichor, and the little guys at the end were hella cute. Also, there was a dick on page four. How could I not give this five stars for that alone? ALSO Lying Cat is back and she is my most favorite character. One of the better issues, I think.

New arc, new chapter.

The spaceship is running out of fuel and they need to stop somewhere.

The only place they can land is a comet where Moonies are currently at war with the Wings, so that's not the ideal planet to go with a kid. Especially theirs.

Prince Robot bitching about things and calling the couple sex criminals was the best in this one. Izabel was funny as hell too.

This chapter is a filler, however I love Fiona's cute tiny creatures, the ones at the end of this issue are similar to sad little meerkats but with the same loving expression of my fave aka Ghüs.

The beginning of a new arc which promises a really bad end. I imagine this means that someone will die but I think I will never be ready for it.

I pray for the second Deluxe Saga Volume to be shortly announced.

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the seventh volume. In other words, chapters thirty-seven through forty-two.


Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga series is the only graphic novel series I have continued to read after a couple of volumes. There is no doubt that it is my favourite graphic novel series, and volume seven is my favourite of the series thus far.

There was so much more packed into this one than I’d anticipated, sucking me deeper into the story and progressing many elements. It was packed with emotion and handled lots of topics throughout, ensuring I could not get enough of it. Every volume of Saga has managed to do more than expected, but this one did more than the rest. It gripped my heart throughout, and I fell a little deeper into the universe.

Without a doubt, if you’ve read this far, you’re sure to be lost to this volume.

Volumen 7 de los ¿9, 10? de la saga de Saga. En este todo el mundo decía que era tristísimo y sí, vemos el (actually, los) motivo(s) por que lo dicen. Pero la historia sigue. También hay pollas de robot de una página de alto, la vida mezcla las cosas de manera aparentemente aleatoria.

La historia transcurre en el cometa Phang, que se aproxima a un timesuck, que tiene este aspecto e impresiona levemente:


Seguimos con el 8, completamente embarcados en la historia, por supuesto, aunque el 7 no tenga tantos giros de guión como al principio (es imposible, creo, mantener tanta variedad).

Saga does erotic content so well — integrated as a core part of the story and never gratuitous…okay, never *too* gratuitous. As D. Oswald Heist claims in his last, unfinished work: the opposite of war is fucking. So it makes sense that the start of an arc set on a war-torn comet would feature a fantastic spread of Sir Robot IV jacking off!

Seriously, though, this sequence is masterful in terms of page layout and panel design: three phallic-shaped panels on the left side and a Watchman-esque 9-panel layout on the right, each panel flickering through Robot’s meandering fantasies.

1. “Families are ***damn wildfires.”
2. The entire pane of a penis...well okay. Haha
3. And robot having sexy thoughts of Alana....please don’t let that be a thing.
4. I love how much Hazel loves adventure and danger.
5. LYING CAT AND LITTLE SOPHIE!!
6. This little meerkat things at the end look cute but I don’t believe them.

Families are goddamn wildfires.

This comic is big on families and I really like that. Ooooo someone has a crush. This comic is definitely NSFW and I love it. The little creatures are cute/creepy.

Not a bad volume - nothing big / important happened here, except for potentially preparing the grounds for something big.

It looks like the gang in the tree is going to have to make a detour-but what will they find there?

El argumento mejora por momentos. Imprescindible. /// The plot improves at times. Essential.
