“It’s easy to run out of accolades for this superb series… The dialogue is smart, arch and always rings true, and the visuals, rendered digitally, are alluring and inventive. The Stalk, an eight-eyed, eight-limbed female bounty hunter, remains a creepy favorite.” -The New York Times

First of all, let me say the edition is exquisite. Oversized, with good paper and truly amazing binding. This is definitely the way to collect Saga.

Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga is the pinnacle of modern comic books. From the very first issue this series hooks you with its witty banter, striking imagery, and memorable characters. This book is consistently the best series coming out every month.

This is the definitive way to read Saga. This oversized hardcover lovingly portrays Staple’s lush environments and characterizations. There is no dust jacket, but the art imprinted on the book of Hazel breastfeeding is oddly beautiful (like much of this series is). The pages are carefully bound, and the extras at the end feature an inside look into the making of a monthly issue.

Winner of the 2013 Hugo award for Best Graphic Story!
