Saga Volume 6

This installment (volume 6) deals with some pretty tough challenges for our heroes, Marko, Alana, and Hazel. Vaughan keeps intensifying the tension, and Staples’ artwork keeps astounding us with its intricacy and boldness. Consider me a fan.

This is really a 4.5 star. I’m demeriting half a star because I don’t enjoy the journalist and photographer story so much. I’m sure they’ll play into the larger ending and I can’t wait to see that. But the action slows down considerably when they’re on the beat. I understand they serve a purpose of putting clues together to help the other characters get to certain places at certain times, but if I’ve been championing the pacing of the previous 5 volumes, it’s my duty to mention this. Everything else in the volume was as expected and fantastic. Still highly recommended.

Can the series and here? Everyone is decently safe and many haven't died yet. It seems like a good place to end it. I'm kidding but I may choose to pick this as the ending depending on what happens in the other volumesAnyway this was a great continuation of the story. Many characters were brought back and further developed. I like that The Will has an angel to the devil on his shoulder. I was hoping that someone would knock some sense into him. The reunion between two very important characters was fantastic. I think the second reunion was kind of just glazed of which obviously their separation wasn't as long it would have been nice to see a hug at least.I also will definitely continue to recommend this series to people that like a mix of sci-fi and fantasy in their reading adventures.

This title had me hooked from the first issue. Staples's art is clean, strong, and expressive - every panel says what it needs to, and leaves the clutter behind. Vaughan's writing keep the story moving, with plenty of space for the characters to grow and interact. And, somehow this war-torn romance, the comings and goings of princes, assassins, a romance writer, soldiers, and a ghost, somehow it all revolves around little girl, barely more than a toddler. Yes, a story this sprawling needs some center to keep the pieces from drifting away - but the choice of a little girl as the point of reference in a world that violent surprises, and keeps surprising me as Vaughan keeps making it work.I've been with Saga from the start, and I'll stick with it as long as it stays this strong.-- wiredweord

As others have said, Fiona Staples art has outstripped the writing of Briank K Vaughan, and it shows in how I get kind of tired of Hazel's pseudo-wisdom. Precocious child narrators reflecting back have always been a narrative danger, although they are rarely used in comics like they are here. It's a pretty common trope in literary fiction, and Vaughan is beginning to tire me with it. Having Alana and Marko back to together helps as well as introduction of a teacher character who is winning and making the Robot Prince both more sympathetic and hilarious, but The Will's plot line seems to be plotting on and his PTSD(?) does really seem to help. Also the grand plot line doesn't seem to be living up to its importance yet as it built in the first two story arcs. I am still interested, but I am not sure I am convinced I see the same brilliance so many others do here.

Saga is an amazing series and volume six goes right along with that. I have been a Saga fan since the beginning and the way the story is going, I will be a fan forever. I recommend this series to everyone who likes science fiction love stories about star crossed lovers who will do anything to protect their daughter and loved ones.Volume Six is action packed with twists and turns on every page. Similar to the other volumes it ends with a cliff hanger and big news that makes you want more, but of course you will have to wait for the next one in a few months.The book itself came on time and in perfect condition. I recommend to all comic lovers. 10/10

The storyline, if summarized, would sound trite and preachy. However, the execution is very good so reading it does not feel like either. The author does a good job with the bizarre cast of alien characters and plot twists to keep you invested in what is going on, even though the over-arching themes and plot are just 'war is bad' and 'families come through for each other'. But let me emphasize how delightfully bizarre the characters you encounter and follow are, and how clever (if explicit and violent) the individual storylines are.

I really enjoy Saga. I just got Vol6 in anticipation of Vol 7 coming out, and decided to read the entire series again from the beginning, as it had been a while since I last read it. I enjoyed it as much this time as before, maybe more since I was able to pick up on things I missed. This is one of the best, most unique sci-fi romance/action stories I've read in a while. The art and the writing are great.

Gostei.

Creo que la parte sentimental de Saga se refleja muy bien en este Tomo, brindando diferentes matices en los diversos personajes que se siente bien elaborado. La emoción y temor de no saber si alguno de nuestros personajes sobrevivirá es abrumadora, que nos hace querer entrar a las páginas del comic e intervenir directamente. Un sólido desarrollo de la historia y sigue siendo un excelente comic.

This comicbook series continues to be great!

As usual the series has only gotten better. As usual the illustrations are exceptional. Loved the prison camp and growing Hazel. Badass granny is the best and I'm excited for our new friend who also escaped to the ship, interested to see how this goes. Would love to see a little family formed between the robot father and son and Hazel's gang.Just would have liked something a little extra in vol. 6.Excited for volume 7.4.5 stars.

Está serie é incrível! E supera cada vez mais! Não vejo a hora de comprar o volume 7!A historia é muito boa, só que os personagens são melhores ainda!
