Saga Saga

Whoa, I gotta check my subscription.

Ahhhh. I only buy the trades but this is great news

Years ago, someone gave me the first tpb as a present and I really didn't like it. The dialog seemed very forced to me and I just didn't like looking at the dude with sheep horns. Sorry Marko, they just freak me out. I went back to that first tpb a few times and could never bring myself to continue.

Yesterday, I stopped by my comic shop to pick up my pullbox and everybody was hyping the hell out of this. They gave me a free copy of the new issue with my regular comics! And the dude handed me my stack and I was like "yeahhhh, Saga's really not my thing..." and then the two employees who were standing there got kinda sad looks on their face and I kinda had to be like "...but I'll read it! I'll read it!" And then when I got up to the cash register, the woman there was like "Yes! Saga! I'm so glad it's back!" I just opened my dumb mouth and was like "Yeah, I'm really not into it but they gave me this copy for free back there..." And then she looked disappointed.

I do wish I enjoyed it, because I want to learn more about the Lying Cat.

It’s all good. Not everything is for everyone.

Library's Hoopla is e-releasing the singles on publication. I'm happy there's no delay for the borrowing crowd.

My whole run got mushed in a flood last year

Excited to have this back though!

Fiona Staples is the bomb. I love the way she draws facial expressions and bodies.

I got volume 10 today and have yet to read it but I need to read a summary of the last one first cos it’s been four years! I remember a lot of deaths…

Back in January 2023 from current lesser hiatus.

The various gaps have the (probably unintended) effect of underlining the eternal war - everyone's always killing someone because of shit no-one can remember.

I've had Saga on my pull list since it came back from Volume 1, and I... still haven't opened them. Seems like a lot of effort!
