Saga #36



Saga, Issue #36 sees Marko reunited with his mother Klara and his daughter Hazel, who are on a high-security Landfall prison.  Meanwhile, the Will is chasing Prince Robot IV, and just as he's about to kill Prince Robot IV's son in a fit of anger, he sees a vision of his sister, the Brand.  The vision of his sister tells him... well, you'll have to read it to find out.  All I can say is that this is a hell of an episode and a great way to end the sixth arc.

Saga reminds me a little of the stories of Neil Gaiman or Doug TenNapel, both of whom have the ability to break the reader's heart and mend it again.  That's what Vaughan does in separating Hazel from Marko and Alana, only to reunite them at the end of this arc.  And that's not even getting into the beautiful artwork, coloring, and lettering.  I love this title.
