 The Saga graphic novel series by Brian K. Vaughan, is such fun. Saga, Volume 3 contains chapters 13 - 18 and is as enjoyable as the first two Volumes. Marko and Alana, part of a Romeo & Juliet, lovers of two different, combating races, continue to run from people hunting them down with the aim of killing them.

Telling the story is their child, Hazel, from sometime in the future. The three plus Marko's mother, Klara have arrived at the planet of cult author, D. Oswald Heist, and plan to hide out there for awhile. Two reporters are hunting them down, interviewing various people involved in their lives, affected by their escape, etc. Bounty hunter, The Will, slave Girl, Sophie and Markos' ex, Gwendolyn are on another planet, that may be affecting their minds. Oh yes, the android, Prince Robot IV, of the tv head, is also on their trail.

It's a fascinating story, richly drawn and full of action and earthy language. It draws you in so quickly and it's almost impossible to put it down. A different Sci-Fi adventure, one you should check out. (4.0 stars)

This series just keeps getting better! The artwork is consistently gorgeous, the character development is fantastic, and the worldbuilding is insane.

Also, this volume was such an emotional rollercoaster.

We learn more about Hazel's family's time at Heist's, which I loved (I loved every moment with Heist 🥺). We also followed Will, Gwendolyn, Slave Girl (new name: Sophie) and Lying Cat, who are all stranded on a seemingly nice and picturesque planet. Finally, we are introduced to two new characters - Lipsher and Doff - who are reporters investigating Alana and Marko's story
