While the book works as a poignant love story and an indictment of prejudice, trippy visuals and clever dialog make this Romeo and Juliet space opera a lot of fun as well. -Library Journal The kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comic...Saga is Heavy Metal eclecticism synthesized into a singular, sprawling narrative a la Cerberus or The Walking Dead-a vast sandbox built for neverending castle-building. -Entertainment Weekly An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality... a sprawling tale that shuffles the beats of numerous genres, including pulp romance, road trip, Western, dark comedy, and political thriller. And much of Saga focuses less on prejudice and more on smaller-scale pains that can be devastating in their own right. -The Atlantic There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are reading Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples amazing adult scifi/fantasy Image comic Saga, and those who haven't yet. The former people are leading happier, fuller lives, because Saga is amaaaaaazzzing. -io9/Gizmodo Saga is the space fantasy comic of our times. -BookRiot The humanity that BKV imbues on his characters is rich and relatable, and the danger that surrounds them is fierce and ever present. i?9;IGN
