Amazing artwork and I love the relationship between Alana and Marko. Fast paced read with lots of action and easy to understand world building. I can't wait to read more and I hope to see more of Alana's and Marko's backstory.

This was actually quite good! I did not expect some of the art, it was mildly disturbing but still really amazing. Can't wait to check out the next books.

Saga begins withs with the birth of our narrator (literally). Her parents, Marko and Alana comes from opposite sides of an ongoing war. 

The fact they conceived the impossible has put a mark on their backs. So we follow them, half a ghost child and their pursuers (Prince Robot IV, Freelance Assassins and others). One of the Freelance Assassins by the name The Will has a giant Lying Cat that follows him around and it's so comical when it blurts out "LYING" when someone is talking.

Graphic illustrations are incredible and Saga is quite a page-turner. From the looks of it this is volume 1 of 12 and I cannot wait to read the next one.

This ist the third time I started reading this - the first two times I didn't make it past the first chapter. I didn't immediately connect with the characters and mixed with the violence, sexual content and a lot of swearing it just was too much for me (I knew these things would be included, but I have to be in the right mood to read something like this, which I wasn't apparently). This time around I made it past the first chapter and started really liking it. The conflicts have a lot of potential in the longrun, the characters started growing on me and the art it really stunning. I am very interested to see how the story evolves because I think it can explore the consequences of violence and war in a meaningful way.
