This is volume 7 of an ongoing series. It’s not the place to start. There is no question that any person of good taste should be reading Saga, but you should start at the beginning with volume 1.

On the night that the 6 teens find out their parents are super villains, they also find out that some of them have powers, one is an alien, one […]
