Saga Vol 3 Brian K Vaughan Fiona Staples Books

Brian K. Vaughn stopped writing comics for a few years. He returned in 2012 with Saga, which is the story of two star crossed lovers who are trying to make it in their galaxy while trying to (1) raise their child; (2) avoid the war they both once served in on opposite sides and (3) stay ahead of the authorities and bounty hunters that are pursuing them because of what they represent.

Fiona Staples art is fantastic and her covers are stunning.

Vol. 3 gives us a few plot twists while giving us some deeper character histories of the main figures. It also introduces a few important new ones.

This series has deservedly won a few Eisner awards. If you haven't read vol. 1 and 2, go read them and then get this. Whether you are new to comics or an old war horse, I expect you will like it.

Saga Vol 3 Brian K Vaughan Fiona Staples Books Reviews

Resisting the temptation to let the first two volumes of world-building simply put these rich characters on
"astro-physiological" autopilot, Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples use Volume 3 of SAGA show our Space Opera Family got through some deeply consequential growing pains. In Chapter 13, Alana tells her disapproving step-mother Klara, "I want to do whatever's best for Hazel." This mandate drives the narrative. In Chapter 14, our journalists learn more about Alana's background from Even, her classmate and step-mother, "She joined the armed forces a few months after I moved in," because her dad was Robbing The Cradle. In Chapter 15, still guests at the author's house, Izabel tells Alana, "It's Marko. He's laughing," so his grief over his father's death is passing. Alana's self-assessment before returning to the job market is, "I'm a dishonorably discharged f*** up with zero marketable skills. Anything I've ever made has turned out like complete s***." In Chapter 16, Alana tries to convince Marko she's better off raising Hazel than working an outside job, "Besides, wouldn't you go insane being a stay-at-home dad all day?" SAGA is aware of who wears the pants in our Space Opera family, and it ain't Marko. In Chapter 17, Hazel points out, "Here's the thing, everybody loves babies... but only in very, VERY small doses," and this applies to immature behavior as well. Our Space Opera Family is learning that hard choices are required to remain fugitives in a hostile environment their idyll is running out of time. In Chapter 18, Marko's ex-fiance Gwendolyn tells him, "The man I love has been hurt, and I need your help to make him whole again." Compromises ensue. SAGA ends this arc with Hazel standing on her own two feet with Alana about to exit the rocket ship; their idyll is over so they are off to infinity... and beyond D
Volume 3 of Saga continues the story of star-crossed lovers from enemy peoples caught in an endless, bitter war, with a step up in quality from the first two (already good) volumes. Back are ram-horned Marko and insect-winged Alana, along with their as-dangerous-as-an-idea child, Marko’s mother, and a ghost babysitter with no lower body; freelancer The Will and Marko’s ex-fiancée Gwendolyn, along with a rescued child sex slave and a Lying Cat; and the TV-headed prince of the robot kingdom. Newcomers include a pair of blue and green tabloid reporters and the writer D. Oswald Heist, briefly introduced at the end of the last volume.

Things start off slow. We step back to see what happens before the robot prince arrives at Quietus, The Will et al. are temporarily sidelined on a planet more dangerous than it appears while he gets his ship repaired, and we get a new storyline of the tabloid reporters looking into Alana’s story. It’s good stuff in the interim, though (more on that in a bit), and things come to a head and get action packed as everyone converges toward the end of the volume.

Saga has always had two central threads running through it parenthood and war. And it has always dealt with the former much better than the latter. The addition of Heist who, along with Marko’s mother, acts as a wise, grandparently foil to Marko and Alana’s young person’s foolishness, is welcome. And this volume thankfully rarely ruminates on war (with one notable exception, which makes up for it with utter ridiculousness).
