Interesting premise and I like the art style. It’s very much suffers from being Written By a Man but maybe the next volumes will be better.

Saga is not like any comic book/graphic novel I've read before, including the independently published ones. It's a bit strange, but you'll get over the strangeness. It's very good.

Saga is one of the best comics I have ever read. The world is deep, the character diverse and intricate, and it manages to weave together a masterful narrative and meaningful character development without ever wasting a single breath.

In the first couple pages, the r slur is used. It's pretty abrupt and caught me off guard.
