![]() ![]() The world where these opening issues take place is remarkable. One of the fun aspects of Science Fiction comes from the imagining of new worlds, new races, and new ways presenting conflicts and the solutions to said conflicts. ![]() I was hooked, enjoying the ride through a wildly imaginative Sci-Fi tale. Several times I told myself that I’d read the next one and then set it down, and each time I struggled to follow through with that plan. ![]() What I didn’t expect was to end up binging my way through the other five issues in that volume in a single sitting. I grabbed Saga off the shelf just yesterday, expecting to read the next issue and set it aside to accomplish other tasks. Well, it certainly lived up to those lofty expectations. My expectations for the series couldn’t have been much higher prior to picking this back up. So many people praised the series, and I had some good friends assure me that I would like Saga a lot. I read the very first issue of Saga shortly after finishing Northlanders, and soon after picked up the Volume 1 trade paperback since it seemed like a series I would enjoy. Since that time, I have sampled a few graphic novels, seeking to find more volumes to hook me onto other narrative series. A few months ago, I was blown away by a graphic novel when I read Northlanders, and spent an entire evening reading the thing in one day. Sometimes going into a read with high expectations can lead to tremendous disappointment. ![]()
