Vol. 1 I completely loved this. I was enthralled the whole time learning about Hazel and the events that lead up to her creation. This world is so creative and imaginative that I'm just blown away. This is one of the best graphic-novels out, and my words won't do justice as to why I would recommend this to every living soul. The main theme in this book is the blind prejudice that all these souls have grown up believing in, because it has always been forced upon them. Everyone can take something out of this lesson, especially with all the hate this election season is bringing. Hazel being the narrator was such a genius move by Brian K. Vaughan. It is so expertly done, too. One minute you feel your heart being ripped out, the next Hazel is making you laugh out loud. Hazel's voice is perfect, and watching her journey is magical.This bind-up gives us flashbacks from the past constantly. It's done very well, and helps the reader get a way better understand at what Marko and Alana have at stake and why it's so important that love wins. I'm now going to break down each chapter in this bind up. There will be SPOILERS, so please use caution in continuing if you have not read this graphic-novel or Vol. 1!CHAPTER SEVEN:We get to see Marko's past, the moon he grew up on, and how people started instilling the prejudice of wings very early in children's lives. Present day Marko is still in the tree space ship with Alana and their baby, Hazel, but the new additions are Marko's parents. Marko's mother has banished Izabel to another planet so he and his mother go after her, while Alana and Hazel stay in the ship with his father, who lets her in on a very important secret. CHAPTER EIGHT:We get to see a glimpse of Alana and Marko first meeting - he was a prisoner and she was a guard. It wasn't exactly love at first sight, but I was still very appreciative of the glimpse. We learn that Marko's father, Barr, is an armorer. Then we see Marko's ex-girlfriend, Gwendolyn, looking for The Will. CHAPTER NINE:The Will is taking The Stalk's death very hard. Gwendolyn finds him, promises to help him avenge The Stalk and helping him get back the young sex slave he was unable to save in Vol. 1. He desperately wants to kill Prince Robot IV, and agrees to start back up on his previous mission to find the half-breed baby once they rescue the young girl, who ends up having a pretty powerful ability. CHAPTER TEN:We get to see Alana and Marko's relationship developing more in the prison. He smuggles her books, and she reads them to him. After Alana is informed that Marko is being sent to a new prison where the captives never come back, she takes action into her own hands and breaks him free. From there on out, they are on the run together. Back in our time, Marko and his mother find and save Izabel. Then, Gwendolyn and The Will are able to locate Marko and Alana thanks to the young girl they rescued. Gwendolyn is probably the most unstable ex-girlfriend of all time, and shoots a missile at their tree ship.CHAPTER ELEVEN:We get to see Hazel being conceived, which was very humanizing. In present time, Marko's father sacrifices everything he has to protect the ship and his loved ones. Also, this issue kind of broke me, but my heart wasn't ready for Barr and then for the opener of the next chapter. CHAPTER TWELVE:First Barr, now this rat medic? I felt my heart just being ripped out of my chest. Then, Prince Robot IV comes to Alana's favorite author's house. Thinking she will eventually show up to save him. Little does he know, the whole gang is already there and has been waiting for him. Blog | Twitter | Tumblr | Instagram | Youtube | Twitch

A couple of star-crossed lovers from two different species on opposing sides of an interstellar war are on the run in a wooden rocket ship with their infant daughter and her ghost babysitter as they are pursued by the forces of both sides including a royal family member who is a robot with a television for a head as well as a bounty hunter who has an oversized cat who can tell when anyone is lying. Geez, why cant any comic book creators come up with something original?Ah, but seriously. This second volume of Brian K. Vaughans wild story is just as good as the first. One of the things I love most about this series so far is that despite all the crazy elements, Vaughan makes everything so relatable. This may be taking place in space during a massive war that involves everything from magic to worlds dedicated solely to prostitution, but whether its meeting the in-laws or telling us about how Alana and Marko met, theres a very human element to all the wackiness. Thats what makes the whole thing so damn awesome.

Such clever, so art, very character. Don't judge me. What did you want me say? It's Saga, you already know it was good.

4.5 stars God these books are so weird. But they're really, really good. Like, when I pick them up I can't put them back down! Took me forever to get a hold of this second book because of library holds and all. So I didn't remember the first book very well but this book picked up smoothly.I loved the dynamic between the in-laws and the mom. For example:The flashbacks of how Hazel's parents fell in love were probably my favorite parts, not necessarily for the romance, but for the character development. The first book just dropped us in the middle of their story so it was nice to get a little background information on them. Plus, the whole thing with the romance paperback? Hilarious.There was some really weird shit in this one, but overall it made me smile and it made me laugh. I just didn't like the end of the book, I got a little bored.PS: Love that assassin guy. Is it weird to think a comic book character is hot?

I'm gonna make this short since it's a volume 2 and you can check out most of my thoughts on my volume 1 review. All in all, I thought this was a great second installment. It's still got the comedy gold, it's beautiful in a very real sort of way, and I tore through it really needing to know what happens next. It's left me impatient to get to volume 3, so I really can't complain. If you enjoyed volume 1, this one isn't quite as great but still, you've gotta know what happens, right?
