A review by octavia_cade
Saga #8 by Brian K. Vaughan

adventurous fast-paced

3.0

The seamstress line was the highlight of this for me! The growing relationship between Alana and her father-in-law is really appealing. The giant naked troll (? or whatever he is) and the ongoing bounty-hunter storyline is less compelling, but I appreciate that we have to go back to it periodically to keep the sense of danger going. 

Talking of the troll-thing, I am struggling to think of how the artist could have made him even more repulsive. Great - albeit disgusting - job there by Fiona Staples. I don't even want to know what the lumpy bits encrusting the testicles are, but they are - as they are no doubt meant to be - sincerely off-putting.
