I admire Jenny Lawson so much, even more now that I’ve read this book. She’s frequently very open on her blog about her mental illness, but she’s never been this open before. It must have taken a great deal of courage to talk so freely about such personal things. Then again, maybe it didn’t. Jenny herself admits in the book there’s a kind of freedom that you can only achieve once you stop caring what other people think and truly accept yourself, flaws and all. […]
Epically epic epicness and more words that also mean epic.
Turns out I didn’t wait long enough to start this series. I have fast run out of Saga and that is a tragedy. When is the next book? Siiiiigh. (Reminder to self for next time starting a Brian K. Vaughan series: the “long enough” time to wait to start a series of his is “when it’s already finished”.) Slight spoilers to follow. More than any other book in this series so far, I feel like Volume 5 really hit home for me why this series […]
The depressing one.
Oh, this one was painful, and not necessarily in that IT HURTS SO GOOD way (except for that last panel). Some of it was just downright unpleasant to read. I suppose not everything can be kittens and puppies and lovefests all the time. People get depressed, they drift apart, things suck sometimes. Saga, Volume 4 is one of those times. This volume takes place over a couple of years as Marko and Alana & Co. are parked on one planet while Alana makes money for […]
The opposite of war.
In Saga: Volume 3, everybody’s heading for the planet Quietus. If you’re wondering why that should be worrisome, google “Quietus” and see what comes up. Yeah. It’s that kind of story. Some stuff this book is concerned with: How to make a life for your family while on the run from two governments. Finding love after a loss. Relatedly, getting over a break-up in rather extreme ways. Violence only begetting more violence. The real threat of Marko and Alana is not that they betrayed their […]
Marko <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
This is a love story. This is a story about fathers and sons. This is a story about families. This is a story about war and peace. This is a story about tree spaceships and magic aliens and talking cats. Volume 1 of Saga introduced us to all the characters: Marko and Alana and their newborn child, who are being hunted as traitors and miscegenators across the universe by both sides of a never-ending galactic war; killer for hire The Will and his truth-telling cat; […]
Hi, I love you.
omg omg omg omg omg omg OMG WHAT DID I JUST READ. It’s like somebody reached into my subconscious, pulled out a bunch of things I think are awesome, then added some really weird and unexpected stuff on top of that, and finally topped it all off by illustrating the whole thing with beautiful, wildly colorful pictures. Like, everyone ever has said that Saga is awesome, but you really don’t have a feel for what that means until you actually read it for yourself. I’ve […]
