I am LOVING this series. I just read volume 1 over the holidays (after many friends have been recommending it to me for the past year) and it's fantastic. A sci-fi/fantasy version of Romeo and Juliet - with more horns - it's the story of Marko (horns) and Alana (wings) from two different planets who are at war, but they've secretly married and have just had a baby. In this volume Marko and Alana have to face his parents (who aren't exactly partial to the idea that he's married a girl with wings) and then they split up, with Alana remaining with Marko's dad on the ship while Marko and his mom go to another planet to get Izabel back (she disappeared at the end of the previous volume). Vaughan's banter is at its biting and hilarious best, while Fiona Sharp's drawings are SPECTACULAR. And as annoying as Lying Cat is, every time he's in a scene and mutters, "Lying..." I giggle. I can't wait for volume 3!

I’m so in love with this series. It’s so cool and badass but also makes me so emotional. It’s so smart, funny, and thought provoking. The themes about family, PTSD, war, the power of writing- everything is so spot on. It’s also brilliant because you get where all of the characters are coming from- it’s all so well done.

My world revolves around Marko, Alana, and little Hazel – they're the center of my universe! I'm rationing out this series because it's mind-blowingly phenomenal. I could easily devour it in one sitting, but then I'd be left with agonizing withdrawal, craving more. Brian K. Vaughan masterfully crafted his characters, breathing life into them until they feel astonishingly real. Marko's mom, though? Not a fan. I hope eventually I grow to like her. The plot gets deeper at each volume. and I'm on the edge of my seat, eager to plunge into the next. I need more heart-pounding space battles, shocking alliances, and gut-wrenching drama. I only want to read Romances if it's written like Saga.
