Saga follows a young couple (pictured above) named Alana and Marko and is narrated by their baby girl Hazel (in a sort of memoir-style). Alana and Marko are from opposite sides of an intergalactic war, but fell in love and are on a mission to leave the war behind them and find peace for their families. In volume one, their journey to leave the planet Cleave is detailed. It also tells the stories of Prince Robot and The Will, two people looking to kill the parents and take the child alive.
Of course I loved Alana and Marko. How can anyone not fall in love with them? They're not at all what I expected, but they're funny, smart, foul-mouthed, and in deep love (and deep trouble). You get a certain "epic" feeling about them from the cover, but they are anything but. They're very down to earth and, dare I say?, human. They're easy to relate to. I also really enjoyed The Will's story, and he's the one that has me the most curious for the next volume. As for Prince Robot, I was just "ehh" about him and his story.
I do love how every character has their own motivation, it's clearly defined, and unique. And, while each motivation is unique, they all have the same theme (which I think is beautiful and poetic)- it revolves around children. Not just Hazel, but other children as well. I won't say much else about the motivation because I don't want to ruin anything.
The art, too, is gorgeous, though the lack of setting in many scenes did bother me a little. I love the way people are drawn, which is the important part.
This is for mature audiences. I say that a bit, and I know when I was a kid I would just dismiss that warning a lot of people gave and read anyways. Most of the time I was fine, but every once in a while I would be totally caught off guard and rather disturbed. This book may be one of those. If you are not comfortable with sex, especially seeing it (because just reading about it can be different), and not exactly the romantic (though not rape) kind, then don't read this book. There are a couple scenes that just caught me off guard and I was like, "wow, okay, so that's there...". The nice thing, they do add to the story and they aren't just thrown in to make it grittier. They're thrown in to make the characters more realistic. But, you have been warned.
Anyway, this is a graphic novel you should pick up if you want a good introduction to the genre. I promise, you won't want to put it down. Good thing I already own volume two.

It's definitely worth the hype!
Two star crossed lovers have a child and end up fleeing from their worlds to fight the odds and raise their child. Alana was supposed to be guarding the prisoner, Marko, but neither agreed with the war and ended up escaping. While on the run they fell in love, got married, and had a child named Hazel. Because they are wanted, they have two people hunting them down. The Prince with this tv head (who isn’t all that interesting to me and parts of his story are in my opinion not needed) and another freelancer. As they run, they’re able to defend themselves and when they couldn’t they had the help of a local girl. My only gripe with his volume was Sextillion. Right… I think this story could have honestly done without this part. I felt it was a little cheesy and didn’t see the point or how it could really benefit the story. Maybe that will be answered in some other way in future volumes, but it think it was a bit much. Definitely had some mature content if you haven’t picked up on that yet! Otherwise, I can’t believe I waited so long to pick this up. After hearing for so long how much everyone raved about this it was time I finally got into and now I’m sorry I waited so long! I loved the story line (minus a few pieces here and there), the characters, the mood, and the art is really pretty too. The story is such an interesting premise. It’s strong and relatable. The characters are also strong. They’re a bit stubborn at times, but also fierce and loyal and you can’t help but love them and what they stand for. The art helped pull you in and created the feels and moods especially with the colors used. I’m obsessing over this at the moment. The instant I finished I knew I had to continue. Amazon Prime two day deliver won’t be soon enough!
