That’s what all great science fiction and fantasy does Saga does it better than others.įair warning, it is a lot to take in and some of the material is definitely rated R. The pages of Saga use fantasy and space adventure as a backdrop to some of the heaviest subjects. From transgender experiences, species/race mixing, false wars, and income inequality, and hate crimes. The sprawling list of characters, species, storylines, and adventures are a simulacrum for ideas and themes in the real world.

Years went by before I finally picked up the compendium. The first time I saw a cover for one of the Saga comics I thought there would be an epic story played out on those pages.
