Saga Volume 6

Reintroducing characters
Can the series and here? Everyone is decently safe and many haven't died yet. It seems like a good place to end it. I'm kidding but I may choose to pick this as the ending depending on what happens in the other volumes Anyway this was a great continuation of the story. Many characters were brought back and further developed. I like that The Will has an angel to the devil on his shoulder. I was hoping that someone would knock some sense into him. The reunion between two very important characters was fantastic. I think the second reunion was kind of just glazed of which obviously their separation wasn't as long it would have been nice to see a hug at least. I also will definitely continue to recommend this series to people that like a mix of sci-fi and fantasy in their reading adventures.
I ordered volumes 5, 6, and 7 - ALL had messed up corner creases!
Love this series but seriously disappointed. I ordered three volumes (5,6, and 7) and ALL of them had bent corners -see pictures in reviews. The box they shipped in wasn't dented or bent which means they were all already in this condition when shipped to me.
A Saga To Go Gaga For. (That was dumb, sorry)
I really enjoy Saga. I just got Vol6 in anticipation of Vol 7 coming out, and decided to read the entire series again from the beginning, as it had been a while since I last read it. I enjoyed it as much this time as before, maybe more since I was able to pick up on things I missed. This is one of the best, most unique sci-fi romance/action stories I've read in a while. The art and the writing are great.
I am still interested...
As others have said, Fiona Staples art has outstripped the writing of Briank K Vaughan, and it shows in how I get kind of tired of Hazel's pseudo-wisdom. Precocious child narrators reflecting back have always been a narrative danger, although they are rarely used in comics like they are here. It's a pretty common trope in literary fiction, and Vaughan is beginning to tire me with it. Having Alana and Marko back to together helps as well as introduction of a teacher character who is winning and making the Robot Prince both more sympathetic and hilarious, but The Will's plot line seems to be plotting on and his PTSD(?) does really seem to help. Also the grand plot line doesn't seem to be living up to its importance yet as it built in the first two story arcs. I am still interested, but I am not sure I am convinced I see the same brilliance so many others do here.
Fiona Staples is one of the greatest comic book artists ever!
Warning these books are certainly NSFW! The story telling is perfect for the art style. I picked these up because of the art style and will forever read anything drawn by Fiona Staples (Including the new Archie series!). My all time fav comic books.
Great story keeps getting better
Saga is easily in the list of top three stories that I will remember forever. I have two more volumes before I am caught with the series, and I almost don't want to be caught up because of how long it takes these books to come out. Volume six has a bit of a hiccup in the writing, in my opinion, but the hiccup is hardly noticeable and the last issue ends really well!
Saga will change your views on comics
Saga is an amazing series and volume six goes right along with that. I have been a Saga fan since the beginning and the way the story is going, I will be a fan forever. I recommend this series to everyone who likes science fiction love stories about star crossed lovers who will do anything to protect their daughter and loved ones. Volume Six is action packed with twists and turns on every page. Similar to the other volumes it ends with a cliff hanger and big news that makes you want more, but of course you will have to wait for the next one in a few months. The book itself came on time and in perfect condition. I recommend to all comic lovers. 10/10
Love it!
I love graphic novels, and I came onto this one by chance. I really loved the "star crossed lover" scenario, and the other stories intertwined. Although there were a lot of characters and side stories, it was easy to follow, and I felt each side story just as interesting. (The reporter and camera man not as much-but I understand they were integral.) Suffice to say, I enjoyed this story immensely. And I hope to enjoy more of it!
Great Storytelling
Another home run! It was really interesting to see the time jump from the previous novel. How the characters had changed, especially Hazel, the return of others whom we hadn't seen in awhile, and the questionable fate of some we have yet to see. The surprise at the end is one of the best. Great series! Can't wait to read the next volume.
Keeps getting better
Amazing art and colors, characters have lots of personality and diverse goals. Could be a GREAT TV show series 📺
