Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan

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 can see myself really getting into this sexpositive, feminist version/retelling of star wars? but whyyyy are there so many volumes? 😭

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.

This was a crazy ass graphic novel. I enjoyed it very much! The various species and technology is what I enoyed the most. I'm definitely going to continue this series!
