Saga, Compendium One by Brian K. Vaughan

The combination of the two is potent, resulting in a gripping and page-turning experience.

Vaughan's writing is relaxed and confident (some of the misjudgements in tone that plagued early Y are here absent) and Staples' artwork is brimming with character and colour. Both had reasonable careers before Saga, but it does feel like this is the project that both had been waiting for, something to take both their careers to the next level. Vaughan, late of Y: The Last Man, Paper Girls and his work in television (on Lost and Under the Dome) and its artist is Fiona Staples (also responsible for a recent Archie relaunch). There's so much going on in Saga that it's impossible to convey its sheer scope succinctly. It takes in androids (here depicted as humanoids with televisions for heads), assassins, lie-detecting cats, sex, magic, guns, wooden spaceships, drugs, superheroes and cyclopses. This small-scale story is a window into a much larger and more epic.well, saga. Saga is the story of a girl named Hazel, who is born and grows up under decidedly unusual circumstances. This has made them the most dangerous, wanted fugitives in the galaxy and dozens of skilled hunters and assassins are on their tail. But Alana and Marko have, somehow, become lovers and had a child, Hazel, showing that more than just coexistence is possible. The war rages across the galaxy, consuming world after world, with no official contact between the two sides.
