4.5 stars Every new volume of Saga that comes out is a little event in my life, and it feels like the wait between each one is interminable. Since we’d already had one volume out in 2017, Saga, Vol. 7, I was not expecting another one, certainly not just before New Year’s. Going back and checking, the last volume came out in April. I knew it had to be fairly early in the year, as I was heartbroken enough by the end of that volume, I’m not sure […]
Saga, Vol. 8
“Saga, Vol. 8” is a short intense episode in the ride that is the Saga world. In this episode abortion is the predominant theme/topic/issue discussed and while it might not seem as a good fit with a graphic novel, I thought they did a good job of humanizing and giving voice to both sides of the argument for and against. Just when you think you’re going to get some resolution to the myriad conflicts that have been sown throughout the previous 7 volumes, the last […]
You can only get soul-crushed so many times a year.
I love my local library. Not only do they carry each Volume of Saga, but they got this copy to me before its official publication date!!!!! This means that I have now read two volumes of Saga in 2017, but the problem is that I have already finished the latest volume of Saga and have to wait who knows how many months for the next one. This is a problem, because Brian K. Vaughan has introduced a MAJOR cliffhanger that bodes a change. A big […]
My least favorite Saga installments are the ones where things get tough.
I heard almost immediately from friends and friends of friends that this was really sad, so I waited months to read it, when normally I’m all over new Saga like cat hair on black pants. It’s like, I get there are going to be sad installments of this series. I do. This is the story of Hazel’s life from beginning, to, well, I don’t know if they’ll end with her being old, but certainly with her as an adult. And there is no way that […]
The Saga (Volume 3) continues…
My biggest (only) problem with Saga is that it is SO GOOD that I am draaagging out reading it by waiting weeks between moving onto the next installment, but then I have to go back to the previous to remember what was happening. I guess it isn’t really a problem, because then I get to skim the previous volume and remember how awesome it was. So, scratch that. Instead of a problem, I’m going to say this is my prescribed and suggested reading method. Read […]
Thanks, Rainbow. I can always count on you.
When I heard that Cannonball favorite Rainbow Rowell was joining the Marvel team, I was certainly intrigued. I’m not a huge Marvel fangirl, but I had faith that Rainbow wouldn’t sign on to a project that wasn’t worthy of her. So, at her urging, I went to the library to pick up the first two volumes of the original Runaways, written by the always great Brian K. Vaughan. And, of course, Rainbow was right. I was immediately taken in and wanted more.* Here’s a quick […]
