It's a space romp that follows a fugitive family from their very first moments as such. There’s gruesome violence, explicit language and a large amount of gratuitous nudity, so it’s not one for the kiddy-winks no matter how aesthetically pleasing it may be. Es verdad que nos movemos dentro de la Ciencia Ficción, dentro de un escenario de guerras y viajes intergalácticos, pero este envoltorio se difumina rápidamente al darnos cuenta de que la crítica social que atraviesa toda la obra es fácilmente aplicable a nuestra sociedad contemporánea. Una crítica al poder, a la hipocresía, a la manipulación, y, en particular, al odio al diferente como detonante de los inacabables conflictos entre los seres humanos.

En principio, Saga (2012-), de Brian K. Vaughan (1976-), parece una sencilla odisea galáctica familiar vertebrada sobre una historia de amor interracial (a lo Romeo y Julieta), pero rápidamente te das cuenta de que la historia amorosa queda relegada a un segundo plano ante la complejidad de la aventura. Poco a poco van surgiendo múltiples temas secundarios que parecen dirigirse todos hacia una única meta: mostrarnos que la aceptación de la diversidad (cultural, social, amorosa, racial, étnica, por procedencia —migrantes—, de género…) es el único camino para conseguir la paz entre los seres vivos. Hell of a body count in this volume. You’d be wise to remember this ominous passage from an earlier issue: My initiation into the graphic novel scene was not ideal. The first, and only, graphic novel that I’d read prior to this one was Brandon Sanderson’s ‘White Sand’ which, ladies and gentleman, is so unbelievably woeful it had me seriously contemplating gouging out my own eye and throwing it into Mimir’s well in exchange, not for supreme knowledge but, for a permanent, selective memory wipe!

Violence is also a major part of the series, with the war between two superpowers (kind of techno utopia versus fantasy magicians) leading to collateral damage to many worlds and characters. Mercenaries turn out to be saviors to children, casual victims have relatives who want revenge, the ripples of violence are profound and our main characters are far from being perfect.

I am a little bit scared of the inevitable heartbreaks that the next volume will likely bring, as things have indeed been set into motion. And yes, a part of me just hopes that maybe from now on Saga will just be a story of lovely domestic bliss, with everyone learning to get along — but something tells me it is so NOT going to happen. a b c d Richards, Ron (January 30, 2012).

With an adult’s beautiful mind, his writing is also not nearly as smart or progressive or feminist as I used to think it was, which I’m basing partially on how every woman calls another woman a slutty fat cunt at some point, and partially on which fan letters he chooses to just publish in their unedited entirety at the end of each issue. Like…you know you don’t HAVE to give an eight-paragraph platform to every person who hated your trans character, right? …right?? I realized that making comics and making babies were kind of the same thing and if I could combine the two, it would be less boring if I set it in a crazy sci-fi fantasy universe and not just have anecdotes about diaper bags... I didn’t want to tell a Star Wars adventure with these noble heroes fighting an empire. These are people on the outskirts of the story who want out of this never-ending galactic war... I’m part of the generation that all we do is complain about the prequels and how they let us down... And if every one of us who complained about how the prequels didn’t live up to our expectations just would make our own sci-fi fantasy, then it would be a much better use of our time.
