Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Saga

Dev are you a Y the Last Man fan ? just curious.

Yeah, really liked Y. I read it through trades at my local library so I did not have to wait too long to finish it.

I LOVED Y! I'm gonna reread that very soon!

So, "the Stalk" was freaking creeeeeeeeeeeepy!!! WTF?! Fiona Staples went above and beyond for her / it's introduction!

The second issue was fantastic. It's still so early in the series but I'm already invested in the characters and fascinated in the world-building going on.

yeah, I thought the stalk was ok, bad ass 'enough' looking ...

and then ... it got a whole lot creepier !

EW!</span></span>

<--- visceral reaction. If you know what I mean.

Finally caught up with issue two.

This is most definitely going on the pull list.

That was a great issue. The Stalk was freakin wild. And the Horrors were...well, I cannot wait to find out more about them.

I did look for issue 2 last week but it was sold out apparently.

There's a second print out. Ask your shop if they can order it.

the Horrors were cool ! not expecting that!

Preview ... #3 out today ...

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=12421

I have to wait for the weekend to get mine.

Got mine today, have not read it yet.

Just read 2-3... and it convinced me wether or not SAGA is "me".

For now, it iS. It's going on the pull!

Enjoyed #3 but not as much as 1 or 2. I think there needed to be a bit more action ... wondering if it may read better as a trade ...

also, I think there should've been more tension over the decision with the horrors.

The scene with the stalk was funny.

whohoah ... Saga just got way adult way fast!

and by adult, I don't mean an adults only restaurant ... I mean 'adult' book store. 'adult' movie ...

My CBS usually bags books with "adult" content like this, but Saga #4 was just sitting there, not so far from "Avengers Academy," for any unsuspecting person to pick up.

I didn't see 4 last time at my CBS. I don't really want to get back into it if it is like that, I have real porn for that. Any other info about the story??

4 and 5 were a bit of a lull IMO, a few good things but things were ... some quick action ... rather than story.

I wouldn't compare it to Y the Last Man yet. It seems paced much differently as well. The world is being fleshed out, which makes it a bit slow, and while I am really curious about the characters and the art is great, but there's neither enough junk food or nutrition.

So the "porn / sex" stuff wasn't nearly as raunchy as I expected, but I've been friends with Pov for like 12 years so I'm pretty hard to surprise.

#4 & 5 were a bit quicker reads (though the letters page are pretty dense!). I really like The Will, and enjoyed his destroying that pimp and how this sequence will likely act as his motivation hereafter.

#5 meanwhile did a good job at establishing Marko is more than a wussy type (like Yorrick--who I love by the way, but hopefully you guys know what I mean). Here, Marko goes on a total rampage at one point, and I look like forward to seeing that later in the series, especially when Alanna can't regin him in.

This book continues to delight!
Currently one of my top 5 faves.

I was gonna drop it but Ms. Cockintail sent me issues 4-5, which I really enjoyed!! Fiona's artwork is FAB-YOO-LOSA!!!

Saga #6 sold me on the series. Everything is coming together and picking up steam.

Dang, 6 is already out?!?! *glares*

After checking out Hawkeye and the Walking Dead, my immediate next read was Saga, which returned for the second arc! Anyone not reading this series really needs to get in on the ground floor now!

Marko's parents showing up cause all kinds of anxiety, and Vaughn smartly doesn't let up for one second. I already can't stand them, especially the mother.

Alana continues to get some kick ass dialogue. Both of them are just fantastic characters already.

Also, the letter's page for #7 was actually quite fantastic! Probably the best letter's page I've read in an age. This included a great letter analzying Marko's committment to non-violence and how that can be exciting in a comic book, which I found insightful and eye-opening.

Dang. I was really behind on this but just sat down and (re)read issues 1 - 9.

This is a freakin great book. The characters have character. More than some other big 2 characters that have been around for decades.

The artwork is beyond. Everyone needs to check this one out.

I totally agree. In a few pages these characters come to life and have purpose. They are likeable and conflicted at the same time.
