Comic Book Spotlight: Saga

Here's a brief description from publisher Image Comics:

Y: THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN returns to comics with red-hot artist FIONA STAPLES for an all-new ONGOING SERIES! Star Wars-style action collides with Game of Thrones-esque drama in this original sci-fi/fantasy epic for mature readers, as new parents Marko and Alana risk everything to raise their child amidst a never-ending galactic war. The adventure begins in a spectacular DOUBLE-SIZED FIRST ISSUE, with forty-four pages of story with no ads for the regular price of just $2.99!


This title got some pub before it came out because this was Vaughn's return after the end of his other successful  books. I highly recommend this because the storytelling is fluid and the artwork is sparse but effective. This reads like a movie and jumps you right into the action. No long prologues or unnecessary monologues. You are on the run with the main characters right from the first page. It's only up to #5 so you still have a chance to catch up. If you like sci-fi and fantasy you can't go wrong with 'Saga'.
