Saga Compendium One: (Vol. 1-9) (1)

Almost to the end and I put this title off for a long time, it has been a fantastic read so far.I love the compendium medium because you get so much for a better price and you can binge away.It’s a good journey so far

Incluye los 54 números iniciales de la serie. Llega hasta el volumen 11 en la edición de 5 números cada uno. O los 3 libros publicados de 18 cada uno.

Amazing, one of the best pieces of literature. Just go in blind, trust me, it's great. This book contains entire series before hiatus, volume 10 is after hiatus.

Review:☝️Saga Compendium 1 Graphic Novel ☝️ I really enjoyed this graphic novel its issue/ book #1-54. I went into reading this not knowing much other it was about a couple of star crossed lovers that fall in love despite how taboo it was for them to be together. I’m glad I didn’t have any expectations for this compendium because it was such a unique story. Think Romeo and Juliet a couple whose family is at war with each other, they end up falling in love but in Saga their stories don’t end so quickly. They run away together and have a baby risking turning everyones world upside down if anyone found out. Instead we are following a story about people on a planet called Landfall and people on their moon called Wreath being at war with one another. This war has been going on for a long time, no one can remember a time they weren’t. We have a group of people with wings from Landfall and a group that have horns from Wreath(Distinctive features to tell them apart). Mom Alana (winged) and dad Marko (horn) both soldiers put a target on their backs having this love child and from deserting the war. A bunch of killers (freelancers) are hired to find and kill them. We follow their journey to stay alive and keep their daughter safe. We get to meet some interesting characters along their journey and see how everyone is effected by the long war that has created hate and divisions between them. There are a lot of stories unfolding in Saga I like that though the whole story we have Alanas and Marcos child telling the story. Saga has action, love, hate, war, killing, forgiveness etc. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did but can’t wait to read more. There have been a few more issues released since the end of this compendium that I will be buying and reading soon I hope 🤞 . These graphic novels are NOT for children or teens. They are graphic and is inappropriate for a younger audience. I’ll be reading Brian K Vaughan’s “Y The Last Man” compendium once I get the second half (compendium 2). I saw the new show of Y The Last Man on Hulu a couple months back liked it and found out it was a graphic novel as well.

What can I say? Oh, I know: BUY THIS BOOK!!! The artist and the author both love the medium and after consuming this masterpiece I love THEM! I have no idea what real world rock I was under when these 54 issues were first published but I am so thankful for this beautifully collected, all-in-one volume now! I skimmed over this during a last minute round of Christmas shopping, saw some things that interested me and took a chance, ordering it for myself. I didn't want to ask anyone for it as a gift because I couldn't guarantee I would love it and I didn't want to put anyone under that stress a week away from Christmas but needless to say SAGA is AMAZING! It's mature, liberally irreverent, silly, graphic, personal, romantic, insightful, adventurous, provocative...on and on and ON!!! I have never been so overwhelmingly satisfied by what was essentially a blind purchase in my life! Without a single preconceived notion I got this 1300-page behemoth in its glossy, square bound format and was unable to put it down! Truly worthy of the designation "Graphic Novel", this book and all it's mature content is for ADULTS and is worthy of a good spot on your bookshelf. I have even considered buying a second copy so that I don't have to stress over what I do to this copy reading and rereading it! Did I say "buy this book" yet? BUY THIS BOOK! And look out, the next leg in the saga of SAGA is going to launch soon with issue #55 so hurry and visit this universe, you'll be glad you came!

A beautiful, poignant, dark, sad, and often hilarious series. Oh boy, this is a roller coaster of emotions: some of the best-written, realistically-motivated comics characters you could root for face so much struggle throughout their adventures. A huge cast of characters might be difficult to keep track of IF you read this month-to-month, but reading it straight through solves this problem (because it is so much of a page-turner that I blew through all 1000+ pages of it in about a month). MUST READ!!! The only people I wouldn't reccomend this to are those who might be put off by graphic violence or sex, but these situations occur rather infrequently and have a tangible, important effect on the story !!!So, my copy was slightly damaged at the edges but I don't care--I intend to borrow this to all of my friends who show the slightest interest so they can experience it.
