Wouldn't have read this if it wasn't for a reading challenge as I'm not usually a graphic novel person, but I enjoyed it. Interesting blend of fantasy and sci-fi with stunning artwork. About an interspecies couple with a new baby in a time of war trying to flee bounty hunters and the many perils of their universe.

I really enjoyed this. The writing is great. The art is... fine? It honestly just doesn't appeal to me, but it serves the purpose and it's not bad. Kind of average, not as good as I'd expect from a title as well-known as Saga.

The art work looks good, but the story does not appeal to me. It isn't making me want to buy the second volume. But if you want a quick read, this is something.
