SAGA VOLUME 1 - VAUGHAN, BRIAN K ; STAPLES, FIONA

Story is story and a good one is worth your time. From award winning writer Brian K. Vaughan comes Saga Vol. 1 (Vol. 2 out now) a tale of star crossed lovers and the tribulations of parenthood. On the run because of their forbidden love Alana and Marko discover how much a parent will sacrifice for their child. While the themes may seem familiar they are given new twists and serve as a jumping off point for a wild ride across the cosmos. Sentient robots, arachnid bounty hunters, teenage ghosts and a cat who can tell when you lie all populate the pages of what can only be the beginning of a wonderful tale. Vaughan is a master of emotionally resonant storytelling that feels genuine in the face of a fantastical setting. Reading Saga makes one empathize with characters on both sides of the conflict. This is a book for parents both new and old who's only hope is that they could make the world a better place for their children.
