Saga, Vol. 1

The last book I finished, the day before beginning this one, was the Brothers Karamazov, so there is a bit of a clash. The artwork of Saga definitely wins.

I very much enjoyed this, and I plan to read the next volume, but I do get tired of books that take place far and away but which sound exactly like the people I listen to every day. I like my fantasy and science fiction books to take me away, and that includes the culture, the language, the whole feel. Sadly, Vaughan is firmly committed to sounding and being utterly and only a product of the decade. His writing will sound very dated soon. But it's a fun story!
