Saga: Compendium One

Product Information

My parents taught me never to get too attached to new people who came into my life, since attachment is the root of suffering. But the times I’ve suffered most were when I had no attachments so who knows, right?�� a b Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Fifteen" Saga,no.15(October 2013).Image Comics. Vaughan explained that the main characters' romance would be a major theme of the book. [15] Touching upon the juxtaposition of the book's mature subject matter with its Star Wars inspirations, Vaughan jokingly described the book as " Star Wars for perverts."

I realized that making comics and making babies were kind of the same thing and if I could combine the two, it would be less boring if I set it in a crazy sci-fi fantasy universe and not just have anecdotes about diaper bags... I didn’t want to tell a Star Wars adventure with these noble heroes fighting an empire. These are people on the outskirts of the story who want out of this never-ending galactic war... I’m part of the generation that all we do is complain about the prequels and how they let us down... And if every one of us who complained about how the prequels didn’t live up to our expectations just would make our own sci-fi fantasy, then it would be a much better use of our time.

The story is being told by the fleeing couple's daughter, but the actual narration is used sparingly. There are little pieces of it woven into panels here and there, drawing your attention to certain themes and recurring elements as needed. I thought it added a lot to the story, and added a lot of emotional emphasis to certain scenes. The themes themselves were well written, and there are some interesting conversations about morally gray topics that take place between characters. The artwork by Fiona Staples is stunning. Her style is unique and dynamic, and she brings Vaughan's imaginative world to life with vivid colours and intricate details. The character designs are also impressive, with each species having their own distinct look and feel. Which is not to say that there isn't lots to like here. The central characters are extremely endearing, and the sheer imagination involved in creating these disparate peoples, worlds and adventures is magnificent. We have intergalactic bounty-hunters, a race of television-headed royals, subaquatic journalists, hatching eggs the size of planets, lupine abortion clinics, and a dozen other things less easy to describe. Sometimes these coexist uneasily with a more terrestrial, even parochial idea of what constitutes Big Issues (corporal punishment is bad, trans rights are important, etc.), but on the whole the ambition is impressive.

The problem is — some of these characters turn out to be my darlings, but they are not Vaughan’s. Yeah. Winners of the British Fantasy Awards 2013". British Fantasy Awards.

Και δεν μιλάει μόνο για την διαφορετικότητα αλλά για πολλά παραπάνω. Μιλάει για την έννοια της οικογένειας, για το τι σημαίνει να είσαι γονιός, τι σημαίνει να είσαι πρόσφυγας, τι σημαίνει να είσαι στρατιώτης. Τι σημαίνει να γεννιέσαι και να μεγαλώνεις εν μέσω πολέμου. Για την φτώχεια, την ειρήνη, τον πόλεμο και τις επιπτώσεις του, την απώλεια, τον θάνατο, την αγάπη την φιλία, την εμπιστοσύνη και την ελπίδα. Για τα fake news, τις εκτρώσεις, τον εθισμό και την ενδοοικογενειακή βία. Μιλάει για τον άνθρωπο, τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα, τον σύγχρονο τρόπο ζωής και όλα αυτά χωρίς να υπάρχουν ανθρώπινα όντα στις σελίδες του. Κέρατα, φτερά, πολλά μάτια, αραχνόμορφα σώματα ή ζώα που μιλάνε.

In 2015 the series was again nominated for the same three Eisner Awards it won the previous year [87] and won two of them: Best Continuing Series and Best Penciller/Inker. [88] That same year the fourth volume was awarded the Goodreads Choice Award for Graphic Novels & Comics in 2015. [89] Year And grief, and loss, and love, and parenthood. And banter. And space genitals which my eyes can’t unsee. I hate this book. I hate this series. I hate Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples for what they’re doing.

The eleventh Volume, collecting issues 61-66, is set six months after the end of the previous arc and follows three key storylines: Alana's resolve to improve the fortunes of her family, Gwendolyn's plan to sway the Robot Kingdom's allegiances over to Wreath, and Agent Gale being forced by Landfall's government to finish the mission of eliminating Hazel and the allies associated with her throughout the years. In 2014, the series was included on the American Library Association's list of the ten most frequently challenged books that year. It had been challenged for containing nudity and offensive language and for being "anti-family, ... sexually explicit, and unsuited for age group."

Retrieved November 25, 2015 Exciting how this series takes on topics like parenthood, war, trauma, sex positivity, interracial marriage, mourning and drugs with a big dose of humor Saga es militante tanto política como socialmente, en contra de las desigualdades de todo tipo. Por un lado con el relato, un guion de una gran calidad literaria, con continuas frases ingeniosas y sentencias bien razonadas que es difícil no sentir como auténticas. Y por otro, con unos dibujos complejos que recrean al detalle el también complejo universo imaginado (mezcla de fantasía y mitología). Un perfecto uso del color y de las medidas y una realización realista y explícita añaden otro golpe mortal a la mojigatería que también critica la obra. No se esconde nada en el dibujo de Fiona Staples (1982-): sexo interespecies, interracial, gay, desnudos integrales, transexualidad, un parto…. Saga no solo cuenta, sino que también muestra escenas representativas de esa diversidad de la que hace gala y ahí radica su fuerza para penetrar en la conciencia del lector. No parece lo mismo leer que ver. ¿Somos tan tolerantes como suponemos?¿Cómo reaccionará cierto público ante esas imágenes? Ratcliffe, Amy (April 26, 2013).

Plus copious swearing, gratuitous nudity, well-aimed violence. And, in the midst of all that, overpowering adorable cuteness, vulnerability and love. I am a little bit scared of the inevitable heartbreaks that the next volume will likely bring, as things have indeed been set into motion. And yes, a part of me just hopes that maybe from now on Saga will just be a story of lovely domestic bliss, with everyone learning to get along — but something tells me it is so NOT going to happen.Vaughan, Brian K.( w),Staples, Fiona( a)."Chapter Thirty-Three" Saga,no.33(January 2016).Image Comics. a b "2014 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Winners".
