Saga, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
4.0

(3.5) This was one of the top-ten most challenged/banned books of 2014, and I can certainly see why: it is for mature audiences and it is graphic (and I don't mean "graphic novel"). The art is pretty amazing and inspired, even if the computer-style isn't my favorite; it definitely suits this story and world very well.

A very hard story to swallow due to themes of war, violence, corruption, sex slavery, etc., but it is also very important because of those themes. While it was a bit too explicit for me personally, I think it's a great book and am interested to see where the story takes our unusual characters.
