The Stalk by my daughter

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

Where to find up to date compilation of Hazel’s narration?

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.

Local charity shop (thrift store)

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.

What Funko Pops do you wish they'd make?

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.

Cleveland Reference

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!

Sooo... how do you pronounce Ghüs?

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)?

Brian K. Vaughan is one of the most banned authors in Texas prisons.

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.

Read more — and search the full list — here and tell me when YOU find!

Is Saga going anywhere?

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.

Saga podcast finally releases new episode!

https://preview.redd.it/xerwrryyalqd1.png?width=1534&format=png&auto=webp&s=43da65530b80498fce0fd76a80520e7aad9f41de

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

Free poster!

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!

You can only choose one...

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

Is there a better source of information somewhere other than the wiki?

I’m looking for a complete list or species, weapons, locations and planets but they are not extensively covered in the wiki.

Who deserves an action figure the most?

[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?

2024 Saga Reader Survey

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:

  1. How’s your eyesight?
  2. If you were a bird, what kind of bird would you be?
  3. Are you worried about how artificial intelligence might impact your job?
  4. Pickleball: yea or nay?
  5. Have you ever attended an anti-war demonstration?
  6. If you had to spend six months aboard the International Space Station with one breakfast cereal mascot, living or dead, which mascot would you choose?
  7. Ever been involved in an automobile accident?
  8. What’s the hottest sex scene from a television program?
  9. If you remember, how and when did you first start reading Saga?
  10. Possibly related: what were you up to in 2012?
  11. Can you do crow pose?
  12. This is definitely not a contest, but roughly how many “followers” do you have on social media?
  13. Best compliment you’ve ever received?
  14. Variant covers: scourge of the comic book industry, fun collectible, or subject you couldn’t possibly care about less?
  15. How many hours of sleep did you get last night?
  16. Hey, were you at the Eras Tour?
  17. Are you that mythical creature known as a homeowner?
  18. Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
  19. Brian here, and this isn’t a binding poll, but for my next comics project, should I write Spider-Man, Superman, or something original?
  20. Do you have children? If not, do you think you might someday?
  21. Last time you attended a funeral?
  22. I don’t think I ever once drank water as a kid, did you?
  23. What do you want, really?
  24. If you have a partner or partners, do you share your comics with them?
  25. Are you working on anything cool at the moment?

[Issue 68] Saga Discussion Thread - SPOILERS WITHIN

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 :(.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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
