Select praise for Saga:
âVaughanâs witty dialogue is laced with universal commonalitiesâthe sharp fingernails of babies, burping techniques, loveâthat ground the alien nature of the characters and heighten the sense that the war between planet and moon and the hatred between enemies is tragically pointless. Staplesâs character designs are fantasticâeven the weirdest aliens reveal human emotionâand her two-page spreads, whether of battle or of tree-grown rocket ships, are glorious. This is a completely addictive, human story that will leave readers desperately awaiting the next volume.â âPublishers Weekly (starred review)
âWhile 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.â âLibrary Journal
âVaughan's whip-snap dialogue is as smart, cutting, and well timed as ever, and his characters are both familiar enough to acclimate easily to and deep enough to stay interested in as their relationships bend, break, and mend. While Vaughan will be the star power that attracts readers, do-it-all artist Staples is going to be the one who really wows them. Her character designs dish out some of the best aliens around, the immersive world-crafting is lushly detailed and deeply thought through, and the spacious layouts keep the focus squarely on the personal element, despite the chaotic cosmos they inhabit. Add another winner to Vaughan's stable of consistently epic, fresh, and endearing stories.â âBooklist (starred review)
âThe kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comicâ¦Saga is Heavy Metal eclecticism synthesized into a singular, sprawling narrative a la Cerberus or The Walking Deadâa vast sandbox built for neverending castle-building.â âEntertainment Weekly
âAn 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.â âThe Atlantic
âThere 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 havenât yet. The former people are leading happier, fuller lives, because Saga is amaaaaaazzzing.â âio9/Gizmodo
âSaga is the space fantasy comic of our times.â âBookRiot
âThe humanity that BKV imbues on his characters is rich and relatable, and the danger that surrounds them is fierce and ever present.â âIGN
