4.5 I don't really like science fiction I'm just somewhere in the middle between liking it and not liking it but this was a great introduction a great plot with great plot twists.
I'm very excited to start volume 2 and I bet I could finish each one of them in one sitting.

So far the beginning of Saga has been great. Attempting to describe Saga is a very complicated matter, and allusions that compare Saga to other great works like Star Wars is pretty valid. It begins with such a rich Sci-Fi setting and atmosphere, that it's consuming, although Saga DOES bring elements of fantasy in. The series's personality choices and archetypes for the characters may seem comparable to other works but the way the characters mesh make it stand out. Even the plot that revolves around two parents escaping with their child, which has here been emulated from other works, seems to bring a new taste and doesn't feel like an emulation but a genuine story. The design of the characters and their species is also captivating, from species ranging from teevees to winged and horned species.
Rating Update 26 May 2019
Five stars to four stars. After having read the synopsis, I can see how most of the volume is full of four star content, but not enough to keep the rating at five stars.
Rating Update 16 June 2019
With the adoption of my new rating system, a five star rating is befitting. After I finished reading the volume, I distinctively remember being overfilled with joy, characteristic to that from a five star rated book. My original review is a testament to my amazement of the volume.

I have thought of changing the color of the rating from green with a grey outline to grey and a grey outline, but I must remind myself that I can remember feeling ecstasy after having finished the book, even though I do not feel so now. This is a rare heightened state after finishing a book, that I feel that I can assume that there are not significant areas that would lower the rating to a four star-rating, as was the case with Patriotism.

I have changed the color of the rating from green with a grey outline to grey with a grey outline. I cannot accurately determine whether this book is a five star-rated book. I know, as the last update states, that the feeling I experienced definitely reached a five star-rating, but seeing that this is a volume of issues, I am not sure if certain issues detracted from it. I leave the rating at five stars because I cannot recall anything to suggest that it receives anything less than a five star-rating.

El tema principal de Saga es una guerra galáctica entre dos mundos enemigos, los cuernos y las alas. No obstante, los personajes principales, cada uno de diferentes mundos, se enamoran y conciben a una niña. A partir de ahí, las autoridades de cada mundo mandan a soldados o asesinos a sueldo a matar a estos dos sujetos revelados.
Empieza, literalmente, con la protagonista dando a luz en una habitación alquilada. La narración, lo cual me pareció muy original, muestra la historia desde la perspectiva de Hazel, la niña mitad alas y mitad cuernos hija de los dos buscados. La historia empieza con ellos tratando de salvar a su hija de una muerte inminente, ya que es una “abominación”, y continúa con los protagonistas escapándose y escondiéndose de la garra de los soldados. Al adentrarse más a la historia, aparecen otros subtramas que toman importancia e interés dentro de cada volumen.
A mí parecer, el tema es bastante original. Por más que sea un Romeo y Julieta del espacio, la forma en que se desarrolla es diferente y divertido. También agrega muchísimos elementos gráficos y violentos. Aunque creo que todo lo mencionado es característico del autor.

Loved it. Really interesting, and a fast read. My only issue is that I've gotten entirely too attached to Marko and Alana, and I fear they're only gonna break my heart.

I really loved the start to this graphic novel series, who knew I’d like comic books! I’m excited to see where this one goes. I love the science fiction mixed with the family/romance aspect.

I really liked the characters, but I can tell that this comic has a lot to do with sex, which makes me uncomfortable.. like a lot..
I also liked the art style!
I will read the second one.. but I don't know if I will continue (:

My second banned books week book, and I am not sure how I felt about it. Not really my kind of thing I think. At times there were some good parts, but at other times I was lost or I just found it too weird for my liking. I did like our two MCs, though I loved the woman a bit more. The guy, I don't know, something just felt off about him. I do hope they can protect the baby, given that we get the kid's thoughts as well I am guessing she grew up. Yay. But yeah, I am not continuing. I could write a longer review, but eh, not in the mood.

A great start to a space adventure. I'm not attached to any of the characters as of right now, but I do like the story. Since I'm told it gets better, I will continue on for now.
