"We're lots of fragile little strands, and we survive by becoming hopelessly intertwined with each other."

One of my favorite and most rarely used compliments for stories is "It made me so mad, and I loved it," and lemme tell ya; there were at least seven moments in these pages that made me audibly say those exact words. Book Three is everything I've enjoyed of Saga cranked up to an even higher level of drama, sincerity, and brutal realism. I can't imagine reading Issue 54 without knowing when the story would be coming back (although I imagine I'll know the feeling sooner rather than later, considering I'm caught up and just added the series to my weekly pull list).

The world that Vaughan and Staples created has never felt this alive⁠—which is certainly a side effect of having spent hundreds of pages living alongside the ever-growing cast of characters⁠—or this dangerous. Some of the series' sweetest, gentlest moments occur here, right next to its most bloody and devastating. There's so much about this series I love, but Book Three took it to places I wasn't expecting and cemented Saga as one of my favorite stories. It made me want to start writing fiction again, which I haven't done in at least a few years. So, that's something.

Oof that ending was so hard. It was beautiful and sad and I think it fit so well with everything in this series but ooooooooof. I am sad. I loved that this series just further explored what it means to build a family, who is counted, what it means to deal with loss as a family and PTSD and trauma and growing together. It's just wonderful to see all around. I cannot wait for the next installment.
