Saga, Volume 8

Another superb Saga volume. The artwork is so incredible, subtle and respectful - as in the writing.

This volume deals with some topics extremely close to my heart (baby loss) and made for some hard reading, but again, this is done in such a respectful way.

Absolutely love it, and will be chomping at the bit to get hold of volume 9!

I... I feel good at the end of a Saga volume... I feel good at the end of a Saga volume that explicitly addresses complex moral arguments and assumptions around abortion as well as the all too often overlooked and powerful effects of miscarriage. And yet there is so much hope here. There is so much love. There are so many rainbow zebras.

Story
What can I say this deep into the story without just spoiling the plot? This continues to be one of my favorite comics. I love the characters. I love the world building. I love the plot. It's dark at times, joyful at others. It's crude at times and beautiful at others. In other words it encapsulates life.

Well if your life involves fleeing from bounty hunters and your own people in an effort to protect your daughter from being killed just for being born.

Another great volume. I can't wait for the next.

Artwork
Fiona Staples kicks ass. I love her work. This series wouldn't be nearly as good as it is without it. She brings Mr. Vaughan's words to life far better than my own imagination would be able to.
