Saga
Saga is an ongoing comic book series written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by Fiona Staples, published by Image Comics beginning in 2012. It follows Alana and Marko, soldiers from two warring worlds whose peoples have fought for generations, who fall in love and have a daughter named Hazel, who narrates the story from the future. Branded traitors, the family runs from bounty hunters, royal enforcers, and the armies of both sides. Vaughan blends space opera with fantasy, mixing rocket ships and magic, and uses the chase to explore parenthood, prejudice, censorship, and the cost of war. Staples's expressive art gives the strange worlds and characters a vivid life. The series has won multiple Eisner and Hugo Awards and is considered a landmark of modern comics.
