I can’t imagine how torturous it must have been to read Saga as the issues and volumes were released. Volume 2 ended on a cliffhanger (I won’t say what it was, obviously), so I was very grateful to have Volumes 1-4 on my hands right away.

But this time, the narration goes back and forth in time a little bit. Here, I […]

Picking up some time after then end of Volume 3, we find our main characters assimilating to a somewhat normal life. […]
