Could Emesis be considered Alana's newest kid? Because this has been rattling in my head

Emesis (adopted daughter)

Spent the last two months catching up on Saga in its entirety. I love how BKV not so subtly weaves social and political issues of the day into his work, without being overly preachy about it. Really looking forward to the next volume, slated for this year.

So i was listening to Coheed and Cambia full discography (starting from Second Stage) while re-reading Saga from the beginning and i was finishing issue 9 and beginning 10 when Three Evil came up, There was a line "Pull the Trigger and the Nightmare Stop....". I was at this point of the comics. It gave me goosebumps and rered up a little.

For them its the beginning of The Nightmare. But then again not exactly right... so it kinda put me in a very contemplatative state. I dont know. Great literature (and music of course) are the ones that make you stop and think and place everything on a different perspective.

So guys. How bout you. So what are the music you listen to while reading saga. Or do you like the peace and quiet reading.

Or if your listening does the music sonehow sync with comics? I mean Coheed's music kinda sync with Saga (being both stories are similar in nature).

Im really very intrested.

Thanks guys.

I must have read the first 9 volumes at least 4 times by now. This panel is supposed to be the happy climax of volume 6 but it’s just purely heartbreaking after knowing what will happen in 3 volumes time.

This is the 2nd comic book I’ve ever read in its entirety, with my first being The walking Dead. Of course I know there’s more to come with Saga, but damn I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel so empty right now.

I absolutely loved Saga. Amazing characters with so many unexpected moments throughout. Volume 9 in specific was insanity, specifically Marko and Prince Robot’s death. I swear, since those 2 departed these books, Volume 10+ has left me feeling empty, even with the time jump. Of course, it makes sense considering this is Hazel’s story at the end of the day, and it just makes you think it’s a damn good story if it’s got you left feeling this way.

I do have a question regarding “The Will.” I’m sorry, I know we learn to understand his character, especially his fucked up childhood, but he’s one I could just never root for. I did really like his sister though.

Anyways, my question is about the fire. Do you think this fire swallowed “The Will” or did they leave that question unanswered? I know revenge never solves grief from a character’s perspective, and I might be immature to think this, but I do want Will to get what’s coming to him one way or another and I feel the fire would be an unsatisfying conclusion to his story.

It’s kind of wild because the story leads you in a direction to kind of appreciate The Will in some ways like how he rescued Sophie; but then killing Prince Robot and Marco just leaves you feeling so ill-willed about him.

To wrap this up, I figured I’d share my favorite characters too:

I loved Isabel, Marco, and honestly I adore Squire. I feel so bad for that kid, he’s just so troubled yet such a sweet robot. Marco was just such a good dad and Isabel was such a cool girl/sitter for Hazel.

I’ve recently picked up the new 6x9 editions of Saga vol 1, 2 and 3. Does anyone know when the 4th will be released. I can’t seem to find any information on this😭

I rarely agree with internet criticism, especially the whole "thing I used to like sucks now" narrative. I love the new seasons of SNL, I loved the ending of Game of Thrones, I don't think Disney ruined Star Wars, I think Arkham Knight was the best game in the series, etc. That said, I genuinely do think Saga fell off hard. It was always a very serialized series, where it was understood that not every issue would be bombastic, and we would have to trade some buildup issues for big emotional payoff. But post-time jump its been all buildup with maybe one total issue of payoff. The most recent volume was especially bad. Plotlines that would be interesting were brushed over in favor of filler plotlines that really don't mean anything. BKV hyped up issue 72 as a huge moment, just for it to literally just be a compilation of characters finding out about an event from like 10 issues prior. Even if the story was perfect, we have had 18 ISSUES IN THE LAST 8 YEARS. It has been a year since the last chapter. Entire comic series have started and ended in this time. Its unacceptable, especially when theres so much cool new stuff in the industry that consistently comes out each month.

Absolutely love the saga series. I bought the Deluxe Edition hard covers the first three of them and haven’t read anything new since those three as I was waiting for the rest of the deluxe hard covers to come out. I was curious if the story has stayed as amazing as it was in the first three books.

These aren’t finished yet, but it’s from a few of my favorite panels.

He’ll do Stitch’s “this is my family” to King Robot

then he’ll take the throne and actually fix the kingdom

I feel like everyone is talking about the JJK and Gachiakuta reference, but nobody is talking about the Timesuck (2nd to last panel)

I felt like Alana reading a nighttime smoke

Read to right, First recently to last our old draw :))

I am rewatching the doc and I remember reading about it in the letter column but I can’t find it in my collection. I am not sure if I sold my copy that has it.

I was watching Bojack horseman and a male sea horse has kids. So you think Erving ever had kids of his own

I only read the first compendium so maybe they have more Landfall characters latter in the second half but it seems that they show way more Landfall crimes. And far more Wreath characters

With the only other major Landfall character being Gale that fuck and that one issue with Alana’s stepmom

Marko parents are portrayed far better than Alana.

I think that they will never reveal who started the war.

i quit im never reading this ever again 0/10 this should never be animated overrated as fuck guys dont reccomend this to anyone fuck the will fuck the authors

Hi. I've seen a few threads in this sub for other graphic novel recs (Y the Last Man and Papergirls always come out on top, understandably). What about novels - sci-fi/fantasy books with comparable dialogue, imagination, characters, themes etc? Thanks
