Saga is so good that I mark on my calendar when the next trade issue is coming out: I have a countdown. I love all of Brian K. Vaughan's writing, but I'd say Saga is his best. Paired with the stunning art of Fiona Staples, this is a must-read not only for graphic novel fans but for anyone who likes to read. Recommended By Junix S., Powells.com

If you’re looking for the next Space Odyssey, look no further. Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga series is as odd as you get, and a fantastic story of love and war between stars. Recommended By Misha S., Powells.com

`	Lex , March 03, 2016 This was engaging, action packed, and humorous. Halfway through the first issue, I was already feeling for all the characters, even the ones I didn't know that well/didn't like/were evil.

`	Malory , October 26, 2014 (view all comments by Malory) A must for any graphic novel reader! Saga has both beautiful illustrations, but a fantastic story line. I can't wait to get my hands on volume 3.

`	Sierra Hastings , October 22, 2014 I've never come across a series of graphic novels quite as compelling as the ones of Saga. Brian K. Vaughan has created a world where anything can be and anything can happen, and Fiona Staples makes this world a gorgeous reality with her stunning illustrations. The Saga tales follow a young family stuck in the midst of a galactic war, just searching for a place to call their own. These graphic novels are full of danger, beauty, and laughs - enough to make any avid reader pick up this treasure. This is by far one of my favorite graphic novel series, and an outstanding piece of literary work and wonder.

`	Amy Sawatzky , January 14, 2013 (view all comments by Amy Sawatzky) Another seriously human but amazingly fantastical contribution to the graphic novel genre from Brian K Vaughan (I love "Y: The Last Man"). This book is for grownups and reads like a movie Joss Whedon and Tarantino might have teamed up for. The characters are well written, even for the short intros we've been allowed and the culture/politics/family relationships are many-layered. I look very much forward to the next installation!
