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.

a b c d e f g h i Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Eighteen" Saga,no.18(January 2014).Image Comics. Saga es militante tanto política como socialmente, en contra de las desigualdades de todo tipo. Por un lado con el relato, un guion de una gran calidad literaria, con continuas frases ingeniosas y sentencias bien razonadas que es difícil no sentir como auténticas. Y por otro, con unos dibujos complejos que recrean al detalle el también complejo universo imaginado (mezcla de fantasía y mitología). Un perfecto uso del color y de las medidas y una realización realista y explícita añaden otro golpe mortal a la mojigatería que también critica la obra. No se esconde nada en el dibujo de Fiona Staples (1982-): sexo interespecies, interracial, gay, desnudos integrales, transexualidad, un parto…. Saga no solo cuenta, sino que también muestra escenas representativas de esa diversidad de la que hace gala y ahí radica su fuerza para penetrar en la conciencia del lector. No parece lo mismo leer que ver. ¿Somos tan tolerantes como suponemos?¿Cómo reaccionará cierto público ante esas imágenes? Saga δεν είναι μόνο μια ιστορία επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Ούτε απλά μια ιστορία αγάπης. Και δεν μιλάει μόνο για την διαφορετικότητα αλλά για πολλά παραπάνω. Μιλάει για την έννοια της οικογένειας, για το τι σημαίνει να είσαι γονιός, τι σημαίνει να είσαι πρόσφυγας, τι σημαίνει να είσαι στρατιώτης. Τι σημαίνει να γεννιέσαι και να μεγαλώνεις εν μέσω πολέμου. Για την φτώχεια, την ειρήνη, τον πόλεμο και τις επιπτώσεις του, την απώλεια, τον θάνατο, την αγάπη την φιλία, την εμπιστοσύνη και την ελπίδα. Για τα fake news, τις εκτρώσεις, τον εθισμό και την ενδοοικογενειακή βία. Μιλάει για τον άνθρωπο, τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα, τον σύγχρονο τρόπο ζωής και όλα αυτά χωρίς να υπάρχουν ανθρώπινα όντα στις σελίδες του. Κέρατα, φτερά, πολλά μάτια, αραχνόμορφα σώματα ή ζώα που μιλάνε. Δέντρα-διαστημόπλοια, δράκοι, πληρωμένοι δολοφόνοι με ηθικούς φραγμούς και δύσκολα παιδικά χρόνια, αριστοκράτες με κεφάλια-τηλεοράσεις, συγγραφείς αντιπολεμικών ερωτικών μυθιστορημάτων, κόκκινα φαντάσματα και μια γάτα-ανιχνευτή ψεύδους που νιαουρίζει LYING! Την αγαπώ αυτή τη γάτα! The secondary characters are also great. The plot follows several different groups like Game of Thrones, so you'll switch between the main group, bounty hunters, a royal family, etc. They've all got their own agenda, it's all intertwined, and none of it is boring. There is also excellent representation in this book. There are a wide variety of skin tones, gender expressions, and sexualities in the cast, and I thought it was all done really well.

Cover A

We follow Hazel growing up, the child of two opposing soldiers who are united by love. In a sense this could be called a kind of Romeo and Juliet in a sort of Star Wars universe, but than much more x-rated. The characters are complex and morally grey, with even the pacifist father of Hazel being haunted by guilt. I love all the other companies I've worked with, but I think Image might be the only publisher left that can still offer a contract I would consider "fully creator-owned." Saga is a really important story to me, so I wanted a guarantee of no content restrictions or other creative interference, and I needed to maintain 100% control and ownership of all non-publishing rights with the artist, including the right to never have our comic turned into a movie or television show or whatever... [Image Publisher] Eric Stephenson was the only publisher I spoke with who was thrilled to make that deal, and co-creator Fiona Staples and I didn't have to sign exclusives or agree to work on a bunch of corporate-owned titles to get it. [5] Vaughan and Staples signing copies of the book for fans at the Midtown Comics booth at the 2012 New York Comic Con 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 Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Two" Saga,no.7(November 2012).Image Comics. 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.

And at the same time a new baby is thrown into the mix — a newly kidnapped royal Robot baby. Look at that adorable umbilical power cord! I know, I know! They can’t all be 4 stars, surely?! You might be right, I’m finding it difficult to separate my level of enjoyment for the series as a whole from that of each individual volume at this point; particularly if I don’t stop and write one of these immediately after finishing each volume. In all honesty I think it would be painful reading these one volume at a time, there’s just not enough meat in an individual volume to satisfy imo. It’d be like watching a season of your favourite show one episode a week, and I’ve never been able to do that!
