My daughter is so talented. My commission work for her. She asked to do chores around the house for allowance. I told her what I really wanted was her artwork on my walls
Anyone have a working link to an up to date compilation of all of Hazel’s narrations in the comics? There was the person who put one together 5 years ago on watt pad, but their account is deleted now.
Stopped by my local store awhile ago. Someone had donated issues 7 - 35 in great condition. All bagged.
I only needed 7, 8, 9 and 25 but the shop wouldn't break it up.
I went back ye yesterday. Shop is now selling as single issues. Bought what I needed. Three 1st prints, one second. £3 each which feels like a bargain.
Hey, I’m new into comics and saw this and looks pretty interesting. As someone who only read Batman comics, is this a good series to branch out on? I’m a big novel reader thst read dune and red rising as well
Hey Saga fans! I was wondering if the comic series looks like it’s almost over cause I haven’t started the series but really want to but scared that i’ll never get to read the ending
Just… why.
The first wave of characters was a good representation of the main characters (and gave Lying Cat every variant you could ask for) but what characters would you want to see if they did another line of Pops?
For me, I think and updated Alana is a no-brainer and Hazel getting her own figure instead of just being a bundled up chicken nugget would be good. Gwen, Squire, Petrichor and another Ghüs would be my standard options. Maybe throw in an Upsher and Doff two-pack for good measure.
I was re-reading Saga and noticed the tongue-in-cheek joke about Cleveland.
Cleave = Cleveland (*Brian K Vaughan's hometown, and "Paper Girls" setting)
Izabel makes a joke "nothing more boring than people obsessed with their hometowns"
If anyone noticed more Cleveland easter eggs, please share!
Is it actually pronounced as "goose", or is it similar to how "Für Elise" is pronounced (which is kinda like the British pronunciation of deuce)?
Why is Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" allowed but Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" prohibited inside Texas prisons?
I viewed the 10,000+ books banned inside state lockups. What I found might surprise you. For example, the most banned authors were graphic novelists like Alan Moore and Garth Ennis. I spoke with Brian K. Vaughan for this story.
He was frustrated that nearly any depiction of sex would land a book on the no-no list but extreme violence seemed to get a pass.

Still enjoying the story for what it is, but do you think there is an overall pattern to it? Does it LEAD anywhere? To my mind, at its best it feels like a very entertaining soap opera, in that it could go on forever if it isn't cancelled. At worst, it's like one of those stories children tell you ("and then that happened... and then... and then..."). Meandering is the word, a never-ending serial slog barely papered over by cliffhangers and twists.
Girl get your finger straight. You are carrying a baby!!!
What a good issue. Lots to unpack, will post a comment once I get my thoughts together but what did everyone think??
My favorite Saga podcast is FINALLY back!
So I think the host of this podcast posted a while back that Hazel's Story, this Saga super-fan podcast, was coming back after a couple years off, but then I guess they had some delays or something?
Was super exicted to see that they released a reaction to issue 67 here: https://link.chtbl.com/saga-67
Obvi that's behind where the book is as far as new issues, but hopfully they catch up? I definitely like the new co-host Bruce!
They also have deep dives into the older volumes: https://link.chtbl.com/hazels-story
Hope this is allowed! (Delete if not.) I’m going through my art and no longer have a spot for this in my house, but I hate to throw it out. If anyone wants to cover the shipping (approximately $4.50 through USPS), it’s yours!
If you could pick one character to remain safe for the duration of the series, who would it be?
For me, I've always loved Lying Cat. Even before I read the series, her design always stuck out to me. And after reading (up to volume 11 so far), I've grown even more attached. I would also like to mention Ghüs/Friendo, because they're precious cargo
I’m looking for a complete list or species, weapons, locations and planets but they are not extensively covered in the wiki.
Just finished issue 48 and god I don't want to open issue 49😭😭😭😭, I mean it is ending on such a good note... god damn i don't wanna see what horrors are in store HELP, tell me it will be ok
[SPOILER WARNING: WHILE THE POST ITSELF DOESN'T CONTAIN SPOILERS, ASIDE FROM NAMES OF NEW CHARACTERS, THIS IS A DISCUSSION OF ALL SAGA CHARACTERS, SO SPOILERS MAY BE POSTED IN THE COMMENTS! 😁]
[Edit: added one pairing I forgot about, Heist & Ghüs]
We know we have action figures for Hazel, Izabel, The Will, Lying Cat, Marko, and Alana. We have Funko Pops for all of them(I'm counting Alana holding baby Hazel as a Hazel Funko Pop), as well as Prince Robot IV and Ghüs. We've seen so many badass characters since the original action figures/Funko Pops released, and I personally believe that a few characters absolutely deserve action figures. I'll list my favorites below, as 2-character bundles.
Gwendolyn & Sophie
Prince Robot & Squire
Petrichor & Klara
Emesis & Sploot
Upsher & Doff
D. Oswald Heist & Ghüs
The Brand & Sweet Boy
Agent Gale & Ianthe
The Stalk & The March
(^^NGL really couldn't see who else to pair these last two sets with, without adding a character who already was listed or already has an action figure lol)
And if course, I believe we need a display set for The Rocketship Tree! Also Ianthe's ship, the Circus ship, the Pirate ship, The Stalk's ship, The Will's original ship... The spacecraft in this series are all so cool and interesting, I'd collect them all to display if they made them into figures/display sets!
Who do you want to see figures of? Do you like my pairings, or do you want to see different pairings? Did I leave out any characters you believe deserve action figures?
I took the liberty of writing out the latest survey for anyone that doesn't want to take the time to do so. Obviously, it is assumed that whoever takes this is someone who read the comic legally and just wants to save time:
ALANA YOUTH. I could be wrong but I don’t think we’ve ever seen Alana this young and it is incredibly important to see how, like Marko, she was indoctrinated into hatred as well, except for her it was to hate from afar instead of enlisting. Her and Marko’s upbringings are stark contrasts yet similar all the same.
BKV is making me very mad because he’s making it very difficult to decipher who the traitor will be. I feel like Feld’s facial expression when Alana walked away and the overall vibe I’m getting from him (as well as Hazels foreboding narration) it is very possibly him, but the way Hazel describes Emesis at the end is sort of giving dark foreshadowing too, so I’m unsure.
Now Petri is in her cycle of remorse. She could try to mask the fact that she feels bad all she wants but in my opinion what she saw under the influence shows us all we need to know about her internal conflict. She is not living for anything anymore except the Will and her hatred. It is sad.. so sad. I want the best for her :(.
Hazel getting her make up done was a cute slice of life moment that this chapter needed and the scene with these two characters put a smile on my face that instantly diminished after what happened next.
More squire falling down a dark pipeline. In the modern day, this is an almost inevitable event that happens to unsupervised adolescent boys and seeing this happen to Squire is heartbreaking. He’s finally learning about the weight that comes with his family and his very existence and i do NOT think he is ready for that given how little time it’s been before he even started talking again. He is unstable, whether he shows it or not.
The Dengo callback was much appreciated as I loved him even though I also hated him. In a way, I see Squire mirroring Dengos ambitions in the future as a means to “redeem” himself and his bloodline in the eyes of the common people, since common people are really all he knows, and the media and information he consumes is convincing him that he owes something to these people. You don’t owe anything Squire ur just a kid :(
That’s all. Thanks
Just waiting for the discussion post to come up
Sure looks like it.
