Saga, Vol. 6

Ah, Saga. I've been reading Saga since 2013. I've read it in Ghana, Tanzania, and the US. It never stops being what it is: an inventive well-written romp through an interminable space opera. The characters are excellent; the only problem now, as we're into the 30-something-th issue, is how full the ensemble cast is. We don't get enough time with everyone! I love everyone; I love - funnily - the fashion sense of the parents, Alana and Marko; and Prince Robot (now Sir Robot, knight-errant) remains the most fascinating character. Also Ghüs, the “bi-pedal seal-man” (as described by wiki). “Are you lady-folk?” HA.

Highlight of this volume were the gigantic tardigrades, because tardigrades really are something, eh. And yes! They survive in space! That's a thing! Amazing.
