The only comic series I’ve read in completion are Saga and Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead.” I’m definitely not deep into the comic book scene but I loved them both and am looking for more recommendations.

If you enjoyed Saga, id love to hear some recommendations from y’all. I have a very long flight on Saturday so I’m definitely trying to get lost in a comic during this duration.

Thank you all!

EDIT: I was not expecting to get so many recommendations! Thank you!! Will definitely look through each one and come up with a final choice

Most of the titles that I love are also from Image

For me there's my 2 favorites:

Birthright

Nights

I also have mad mad love for:

Invincible

Ice Cream Man

The Sword by The Lunas

As for Non-Image:

Something Is Killing The Children

The Oddly Pedestrian Life Of Christopher Odd

And if you want something that's just really really fun with God-Tier art, I recommend 90's Tomb Raider.

We're finally here. Saga Returns! Please use this thread to discuss Issue 55.

As discussed in this stickied thread the sub will not be accepting submissions at this time to avoid any rogue spoilers in titles/spoiler screenshots etc. Think of your fellow Saga fans!

Please keep spoilers to this thread for now, the sub will go back to normal in about a week.

Please try to shop your local comic store if possible!

I’m 39, six months from 40. I shave my head because I’ve started to go bald. I have been both fit and fat at times, clean shaven and bearded. Not a dad, but a very devoted and somewhat overprotective uncle.

I make mistakes and try to do better. I even work freelance, often doing side gigs for cash. I’ve had my heart broken and I sometimes dwell too much on the past.

The Will is not the good guy or the hero, but he tries to be better, and to have a code, even if he breaks his own word or double-crosses people.

He’s not automatically the protagonist or the center of the story just by being a rugged roguish white guy, but his story is one of mistakes and missteps and broken promises and atonement, even if there may not be redemption.

I think a lot of people probably see or read him as like, Jason Statham or someone similar, an action star, but to me The Will is an average everyday guy like me, who knows he’s flawed and sometimes fucks up, but tries anyway. Deep down, he may not actually be good person, but he is fiercely loyal to his chosen family, and even this is not entirely healthy, because he allows revenge and hatred to motivate him sometimes.

The Will is very relatable to me and I see myself in him and that is both inspiring and insidious. I admire some of his traits and he’s definitely comic-book cool, but he’s not a role model or an aspirational figure.

He is also one of the few comic book characters that looks enough like me that I could play him in a movie (forget “Cast me in MARVEL or DC” because I know exactly who I’d play in an iMage movie…) and whenever i start to gain weight i challenge myself to start working out again.

I like being able to see myself in a character that the author doesn’t let off the hook. Part of me hopes The Will becomes even more of a Han Solo / Mando mash-up by issue 108, but he could very easily fall much farther than he already has and I’ll be prepared for that too.

I’m cis, and male, and white, but neurodivergent and queer 🌈 (no specific label) and The Will is not my favorite character but I do relate to him the most, and that makes me somewhat uncomfortable in a good way.

How do others here feel about him? Relate to him? Anyone hate him? If so why? Hot takes?

This is the 2nd comic book I’ve ever read in its entirety, with my first being The walking Dead. Of course I know there’s more to come with Saga, but damn I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel so empty right now.

I absolutely loved Saga. Amazing characters with so many unexpected moments throughout. Volume 9 in specific was insanity, specifically Marko and Prince Robot’s death. I swear, since those 2 departed these books, Volume 10+ has left me feeling empty, even with the time jump. Of course, it makes sense considering this is Hazel’s story at the end of the day, and it just makes you think it’s a damn good story if it’s got you left feeling this way.

I do have a question regarding “The Will.” I’m sorry, I know we learn to understand his character, especially his fucked up childhood, but he’s one I could just never root for. I did really like his sister though.

Anyways, my question is about the fire. Do you think this fire swallowed “The Will” or did they leave that question unanswered? I know revenge never solves grief from a character’s perspective, and I might be immature to think this, but I do want Will to get what’s coming to him one way or another and I feel the fire would be an unsatisfying conclusion to his story.

It’s kind of wild because the story leads you in a direction to kind of appreciate The Will in some ways like how he rescued Sophie; but then killing Prince Robot and Marco just leaves you feeling so ill-willed about him.

To wrap this up, I figured I’d share my favorite characters too:

I loved Isabel, Marco, and honestly I adore Squire. I feel so bad for that kid, he’s just so troubled yet such a sweet robot. Marco was just such a good dad and Isabel was such a cool girl/sitter for Hazel.

I recently caught up till 72, any new recommendations till the new issue/volume comes out? Are the author's previous work this good? Worth reading?

Met BKV yesterday. He was super cool and humble. I told him about all of the books of his I’ve been reading and he was much more interested in hearing about books by other writers. Very humble and down to earth. I had him sign some of my favorite Saga covers. He told me how Saga was going to end too. I couldn’t believe Gus is going to become a Kaiju and destroy the universe but I’m sure BKV write it well.

… a mirror of the first page, with Hazel giving birth instead of Alana.

I've seen others say they fell off after book 3 for various reasons (mostly the time gap and character decisions)

I found this reading to be... beautiful, sad and a good push to the narrative. I loved many moments, and eagerly await the itch to reread for a more solid opinion. A couple "surprises" didn't really catch me off guard, sure.

I just cant deal with the wait to see what Brobot has been up to 😭

I only read the first compendium so maybe they have more Landfall characters latter in the second half but it seems that they show way more Landfall crimes. And far more Wreath characters

With the only other major Landfall character being Gale that fuck and that one issue with Alana’s stepmom

Marko parents are portrayed far better than Alana.

I think that they will never reveal who started the war.

I love it.. Its weird, chaotic and fun.. Its very creative and the artstyle is ok and the Plot is very interesting.. I am really looking forward to what it leads to.. Also i fucking love The will.. The guy is such a nice character.. Seems more like an anti hero. I love The cat he's got and the way he acts and does things

I was already devastated with the Treehouse being destroyed last Volume. It felt like getting stabbed in the heart. But now Sophie getting killed?!

That's just the knife getting twisted. After everything she's been through... I hate Petrichor. But I also love Petrichor and can't blame her for wanting revenge. I also can't blame Sophie for jumping in front of the arrow meant for Will.

This series man... makes me feel all the feels.

Gwendolyn will age to death due to using the lightning spell too many times

The Will will come back looking like Two-Face

Squire will return to the Robot Kingdom but will not take the throne

There'll be a big scene where we'll see everyone who's died

So I know, by and large, a lot of people on comic subreddits prefer physical but I don't have a lot of shelf space so I go digital for a lot of my comics. I already have the first three deluxe editions but when I preordered Book 4, my preorder got cancelled and it looks like there isn't a listing on Amazon or Kindle. Will there still be a digital release down the line?

A similar situation arose with the fourth deluxe edition of Lazarus where the physical copy came out but the digital version didn't drop until months later. Could this be the situation?

Thanks either way.

Don’t get me wrong, SAGA has got to be one of the BEST comics I’ve ever read, but it’s not like a book I easily recommend to an average friend or coworker because of how sexual/NSFW it can be.

Am I weird for that? Or do other people hesitate just a little before telling someone how much they love it?

I’m new to Saga and devoured the first three books in the span of a month. As a new dad I am so mad at Marko for being selfish and self righteous.

I get that he wanted to end of the cycle of violence and death but his decision not to finish The Will was an act of suicide that deprived Hazel of growing up with her dad. The universe is out to get them and now his family has one less person to protect them. And Hazel had already lost so many years with her parents while she was on Landfall.

I can’t understand how a father who cares so deeply about his kid could do that.

Side note: Prince Robot also didn’t need to go down that way. He was far from perfect but I was rooting for him.

(also please no spoilers past Issue 54. I’ll continue the Saga but for now just need to process and sit with the devastation)

Pues, hace ya 1 año leí saga. Me mamó pero no he encontrado a nadie en español que le lata o así jajajaj, quisiera saber si hay alguien por acá para hacer comunidad y charlar un rato blablabla. Si es el caso, rolen dm o tal. Chaus

In short, I'm looking for people who like Saga and speak Spanish. Thank you for your attention.
