Saga, Vol. 4

Incredible series. I'd refer you to Vol 1 for a sense of the plot, but it's really a (very) mature tale of starcrossed lovers in a war-torn space opera. This book is like nothing else out there. Volume 4 continues strong. The first chapter opens rather bleakly, instilling a sense of dread in the reader as they plow forward. But Vaughn and Staples zig when you expect a zag. Not only that, but the supporting cast keeps expanding, and each new and returning member is just as fascinating as the next in both design and writing. Staples art remains top-notch, while this may be Vaughn's best writing to date, which says something for such an accomplished author. The narrative structure of Hazel relating her family's past to us from the margins manages to interject humor, sorrow, and some profundity to the book. The world-building gets ever-stronger while never losing sight of the characters at the core. Everything makes a weird sort of sense, and each act follows the next, like dominoes collapsing one after the other. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the extras are seemingly saved for the Deluxe Edition, but if you're simply a trade-waiter eager for your next hit of Vaughn and Staples' addictive series, this is for you.

Good story and art. This series is good at setting up a calm nice atmosphere, then adding crazy to the mix. Heard this is getting adapted for tv, crossing fingers and toes that it a good adaptation.

If you follow my Saga reviews you'll know that I keep raving about this series and its for good reason. I swear each volume gets better and better! In this one, Marco and Alana finally get a chance to stop running which up to this point is all they've been doing. They've been holding up fine, in love, and ready to battle whatever comes, but when they get the chance to settle down real life issues flood in. Marriage and family life starts to take its toll when Marco becomes a stay at home dad and Alana becomes an actress. Lines get blurred, they ignore their problems and eventually things blow up. I hated seeing this happen to them, but at the same time it makes them even more relatable! On top of all that drama, Prince Robot joins forces with an unlikely pairing and they go on a mission for revenge! Left with another cliff hangover I'm so ready for volume 5!! If you haven't picked this up, you're missing out! I LOVE IT!!

I love this series. The story is exciting, the characters are interesting, and the art is gorgeous. It's just so captivating! I haven't been into comics since I was in middle school (I'm now in my mid-twenties), but someone gifted me Vol. 1 and I have been hooked! It is truly a wonderful series worth picking up. It just keeps getting better and better. By the way, THANKS AMAZON for shipping out my pre-ordered book five days after the release date! I'm so glad I bothered to pre-order a book that I was going to get one week after it released anyway!

I absolutely love this series! the story is interesting and the art is beautiful. I dont love the way that Amazon ships their books. Mine have always come in a soft envelope and the book gets bent up in the mail. Im not sure if ordering the book online is worth it if it comes messed up before i even get to read it, but the series itself is just awesome and totally worth finding in your nearest comicbook store.

These books keep getting better and better. Although, I was upset at a few things in this book, like a certain blue girl! That being said, little Hazel is now a toddler and soooooo cute. Alana has a job on a tv show dressed up as a super hero, Marko dresses up as something and watching little Hazel. Mom and ghosty are still around as well. We get to meet a few new characters, one being a crazy tv head villain. Yeah, that's what I call them, tv heads :-) Lets just say there is more cray cray going on but it's a fun ride and the graphics are awesome as usual!

The fourth volume of Saga propels the story to a new stage—character entanglements become more complicated, seemingly minor characters take on new significance, new characters are introduced, and marital strife comes for Marko and Alana. Meanwhile, Hazel and the royal baby remain in peril. I’m hooked.

This story has turned into a fever dream, and I adore it. The characters and their voices are so unlike anything else out there. They are each such unique and honest individuals. I love each little vignette. They do amass to a discernible plot line, but the joy is each scene, each sentence, each panel. Fiona Staples's artwork continues to be the best in the business. Whimsical, kinetic, luscious, sexy, gory and surreal - she captures body-language and facial expressions too fine to name, too real and complex to label. She is on another level and this is the best ongoing series I am aware of; weird and wonderful.

série excellente, très riche, l'action bouge très vite, mais l'histoire ménage aussi des moments très émouvants. personnes très attachants. Indispensable.

Bellissimo fumetto della Image Comics, imperdibile per chi ama la fantascienza e delle storie più "adulte" con una trama avvincente e dei disegni spettacolari! Dopo poco che ho iniziato a seguirlo in inglese è stato pubblicato in Italia dalla Bao Publishig, ma non rimpiango nulla: la lingua non è difficile e i disegni aiutano tanto. il libro è arrivato puntuale e in perfette condizioni.

bought this for a friend for his birthday and he said he absolutely loved it.

Las situaciones cotidianas (y no tan cotidianas) que contiene este Tomo brinda un recorrido agradable que paga totalmente en el último tramo. Los personajes se amplían, trayendo al juego más problemas y subtramas que te hacen decir: Nunca acabará esto y ojalá así sea. Este Volumen presenta un final impactante que te deja con ganas de más (como en cada Volumen) y reuniones inesperadas que dibujan una sonrisa en tu rostro.

Saga mein absoluter favorite unter den Comicserien... Habe den Comic sogar noch an Weihnachten bekommen also noch vor dem eigenlichen Releas, was mich sogar darüber hinweg trösten konnte das in mein Auto eigebrochen wurde an dem selben Tag. So für alle Saga-Fans muss ich hier ja nun nicht ins detail gehen die Serie wird wieder mal brilliant weiter geführt und für fans wie mich die es nicht erwarten konnten es zu Lesen und wie immer in ner Stunde durch haben können sich nun wieder darauf freuen ein Jahr zu warten bis wir wieder eine neue Saga Vol in den händen halten
