We follow Hazel growing up, the child of two opposing soldiers who are united by love. In a sense this could be called a kind of Romeo and Juliet in a sort of Star Wars universe, but than much more x-rated. The characters are complex and morally grey, with even the pacifist father of Hazel being haunted by guilt. a b c d e Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Thirteen" Saga,no.13(August 2013).Image Comics.

Saga es militante tanto política como socialmente, en contra de las desigualdades de todo tipo. Por un lado con el relato, un guion de una gran calidad literaria, con continuas frases ingeniosas y sentencias bien razonadas que es difícil no sentir como auténticas. Y por otro, con unos dibujos complejos que recrean al detalle el también complejo universo imaginado (mezcla de fantasía y mitología). Un perfecto uso del color y de las medidas y una realización realista y explícita añaden otro golpe mortal a la mojigatería que también critica la obra. No se esconde nada en el dibujo de Fiona Staples (1982-): sexo interespecies, interracial, gay, desnudos integrales, transexualidad, un parto…. Saga no solo cuenta, sino que también muestra escenas representativas de esa diversidad de la que hace gala y ahí radica su fuerza para penetrar en la conciencia del lector. No parece lo mismo leer que ver. ¿Somos tan tolerantes como suponemos?¿Cómo reaccionará cierto público ante esas imágenes? I also have to take a minute to talk about the art because it's beautiful? So so beautiful. And funny too. The artist is great at capturing movement in wide landscape shots, and the facial expressions and emotions of the characters were drawn well too.

Violence is also a major part of the series, with the war between two superpowers (kind of techno utopia versus fantasy magicians) leading to collateral damage to many worlds and characters. Mercenaries turn out to be saviors to children, casual victims have relatives who want revenge, the ripples of violence are profound and our main characters are far from being perfect. In a sense I was reminded of Star Wars Omnibus: Knights of the Old Republic, Volume 1 which I really enjoyed as a teenager.

a b Renaud, Jeffrey (August 31, 2016.). "Brian K. Vaughan Takes Saga to War in Issue #37". CBR.com. The book's release was celebrated with a launch party at Los Angeles' Meltdown Comics which featured a public conversation with Vaughan's former colleague, Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, [13] who had hired Vaughan as a writer/producer on that series in 2007. [27] Vaughan also promoted the book by appearing at signings at Midtown Comics in Manhattan [28] and Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn during the week of the first issue's release. [29] Things are set in motion. Some connections are strained, some new ones are formed. Our robot-heads got a bit more development, and seeing Robot King makes even a cynical heart bleed for Robot Prince IV.The problem is — some of these characters turn out to be my darlings, but they are not Vaughan’s. Yeah. It's a space romp that follows a fugitive family from their very first moments as such. There’s gruesome violence, explicit language and a large amount of gratuitous nudity, so it’s not one for the kiddy-winks no matter how aesthetically pleasing it may be.
