Saga, Vol. 2

Story
This book like the first volume went entirely too quick. Now I'm torn on if I can wait for volume 3 to be released, or if I want to buy individual issues that have been released since. Waiting monthly for each issue seems bad enough, waiting an uncertain amount of time for the next 6 issues to be collected into a volume seems like torture.

We get a lot more depth to the characters in this one. The scenes between Alana and Marko's father are particularly good, but really the whole thing is great. That The Will is no Boba Fett is even more apparent in this volume than the last. I'll be curious to see what he does when he catches up with the fugitives.

I debated giving this book 5 stars. If I did, I should really give volume one 5 stars as well. I've enjoyed every page of every issue. I'm just stingy I guess. It's certainly the best thing I've read in this format (not that I'm well versed in graphic novels), especially when comparing it to the two Batman graphic novels I read this weekend. I certainly enjoyed it a lot more.

I'll just give it 4.5 stars rounded down because I'm stingy.

Artwork
I again enjoy Ms. Staples artwork bringing the story of Mr. Vaughan to life and filling in details of this page-turner. Some of the images are just too ridiculous to be described in words and had me laughing just as hard as the dialogue; Fard I'm looking at you (albeit very reluctantly).
