Saga, volume 5

Saga, volume 5 by Brian K. Vaughan, art by Fiona Staples, 152 pages

This is the most recent volume in Vaughan and Staples' fantastic sci-fi tale of a new family trying to find their way in the universe. Of course, it's not that easy. Mom and Dad are different races that have been warring against each other for generations, and all of the stakeholder groups are sending their best soldiers, assassins, and revolutionaries to kidnap, kill, or otherwise eliminate Marko, Alana, and their daughter, Hazel. It's a grand, imaginative, not at all kid-friendly tale, and it's well worth reading. This volume follows in the tradition well, with lots of uneasy alliances and backstories. Check it out, but start from volume 1.
