Saga
Saga is a cosmic tapestry of love, war, and family — a series where the boundaries of fantasy and reality blur, creating a world unlike any other. Set against the backdrop of an intergalactic conflict that spans planets, species, and generations, this epic graphic novel by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples captures the complexities of human emotion amid the chaos of a universe in turmoil.
At the heart of the story are Alana and Marko, two star-crossed lovers from opposing sides of a brutal war. Their relationship is both a symbol of defiance and a vulnerable thread holding together their very survival. As they navigate the dangers of their world, their journey is filled with a diverse cast of characters, each with their own stories, struggles, and motivations. From bounty hunters to talking trees, from space-faring robots to magical creatures, Saga crafts a universe that is as rich in its lore as it is in its characters.
But Saga isn't just a space opera. It’s a meditation on the most intimate aspects of life: love, loss, parenthood, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we hold dear. Its strength lies not only in its visual storytelling — with Fiona Staples’ breathtaking art bringing every page to life in vibrant, emotive detail — but also in its ability to balance humor and heartache, action and introspection. Every issue pulls readers deeper into a world that is constantly evolving, yet always feels profoundly human.
Saga consists of twelve books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
