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

Brilliant. Freaking brilliant.

We are in for one helluva ride on this one and I can't wait to enjoy. There's so much to talk about from #1 and I'm posting from my phone, so I'll have to get back to it.

Fantastic characters from the get-go. And a romance that feels very real to me, and therefore more romantic.

Amazing art by Staples! I've enjoyed her art before, but the colors here really make it pop.

The sci-fi / fantasy setting is creative to the extreme so far. So many fascinating aspects! I'm so intrigued by the robotic royal family most of all.

Vaughn's writing has only improved over time and he was always good. There is an incredible mood, a robust political and cultural landscape, and immediate tension. Beyond that there is crude humor, heartfelt moments and very human interactions between the aliens.

And that's all in #1.

This could end up being the best comic going. I suggest getting in on the ground floor.

They're already selling # 1 for $15 on eBay I read.

damn. Tomorrow is the first day I can get to the comic store.

I'll bring my knives just in case there's any copies left and I have to rumble for them. (no winkys)

Dear Gods! You are willing to cut off their winkys to get a copy?!?!?

well ... I've just been to two comic stores here and .... no such luck ..... there wasn't even a copy to fight over .... I did find the 'Saga - Limit two copies per customer ' sign .... amusing and enlightening.

One store says they'll get in a new shipment next week, we'll see.

Shade, Unwritten, and especially Powers were some consolation though. Although I may go back to the TPB format for Powers since this issue was not as meaty as the first one ... I want it all and I want it NOW. (I do this with Walking Dead too.)

How many frickin books is Bendis writing now the back of Powers was filled with like 5 books he's writing besides his Avengers and X-Men plans.

Also tried Fairest ... which was good yet ... predictable faire for Willingham and Jimenez.

Saga #1 is simply wonderful!

Just read this. WOW! Fiona Staples is amazing.

I bought and enjoyed this, but can't quite be as glowing about it yet. Definitely worth reading, though.

I got it today because of you guys. Last copy in the store. Great art, rich story.

Hey kids! Buy this book!!
I hope it sells a kajillion copies!

Finally read #1 today. Suffice to say that I feel this is the book to beat for best (new or old) of 2012. BKV's still got it, and Fiona Staples' art is just awesome!

Hard to believe, but my CBS STILL has 1st print copies of issue 1 available! My fellow customers there must kinda suck!

<--- still hasn't found a Saga #1 copy ... contemplating travelling to Lardy's store ....

The LMB to the rescue! We'll find you a copy! The reprint should be out this week or next week too, right?

I would offer, but Cobie's been waiting YEARS for me to get around to sending him that first DMZ trade!

It may come to that !! jeez!

Guess who got a copy of Saga #2.


<--- ME. It was so good. lovely. like a kick in the shins, a pop in nose, and smack on the head ... but of *goodness* ... if not quite a knee in the balls.

Guess who got a copy of Saga #1 Reprint ....

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Not me. You know who did … some dumbf*@#s who go around grabbing up all the number 1s … even the reprints. Otherwise …. wouldn't number 2 be sold out!?!?! mannnnnn some of us would iike to buy a copy to read it. </span></span>

Finally read SAGA # 1

I enjoyed the way the story was told, by Hazel, signifying that she will indeed survive this tale.

The artwork and colors were excellent.

I couldn't quite completely shake the feeling that the book wasn't really 'me' though. However, I do want to read # 2 and see where that leads... I'm worried that it is out already, though... I'll have to get to the CBS this weekend!

I GOT SAGA NUMBER 1!! FINALLY.
When I saw it on the shelf ... I almost grab two copies and ate one just to make sure I got a copy .. after the feeding frenzy over this comic.

I could go on and on about how good this or that was but overall ...


I just found it sweet.

colors were a striking point and stood out beyond the excellent art.

and the whole universe was quickly and neatly established and felt to have some unique or fresh attitudes about it.

I especially loved the main characters, and how real they felt rather than noble or exemplary.

And TV headed people !!!

I love those guys!

TV headed robot royalty sexing doggy style!!!

that was a new one. ha ha

Grabbed third printing of # 1, # 2 nowhere to be seen.

Will read soon...probably this weekend.

Read it./ It was very good. The art was great, and the coloring was fantastic.

Will stick around for a while...provided I can find #2.
