A review by octavia_cade
Saga #7 by Brian K. Vaughan

adventurous fast-paced

3.0

I have to admit, I am in general far more interested in stories like this - domestic family relationships - than I am the hunting and chasing and weird characters with the television heads. It's more emotionally resonant, and given the weight of history on both the main pairing, it's no surprise that Marko's parents are deeply sceptical of his relationship with Alana. Not just sceptical, even... actively hostile might be a bit of an overstatement, but not by much. This is where speculative fiction can really do well, using metaphors to illuminate real life; not that anything in this particular issue is groundbreaking in that respect. It's more continuing on a tradition, but the need for the metaphor remains, unfortunately, and so we'll keep getting stories like this until it doesn't.
