Just like every issue before it, the last page is sure to get you excited about next month's installment. For someone whose interest in the story was faltering, this issue was the kick in the shorts I needed to get back on track. Read Full Review

Saga #23 is thrilling and heartbreaking in all the right ways, and leaves us with a hopeless sense of "Oh, now what can go wrong?" Read Full Review

The only bad thing about this issue is that it's the penultimate one before the crew takes its end-of-arc break. Read Full Review

So this months installment of Saga was very good, as to be expected from this super creative team. It's going to be a great conclusion to a seriously amazing arc. But with the end of a Saga arc comes the dreaded hiatus. I really don't need to tell you to get on this book, cause you already have. Read Full Review

Saga #23 is a true return to form for the series. Though the idea that the series ever lost its stride at all is debatable, this issue certainly fits the bill as a "wham" issue that gets things back on track. The entire issue is a well- written, gorgeously-drawn payoff in return for all of the dark drama that has made up most of the recent arc. Read Full Review

This is one of those series where I keep running out of adjectives. It's not for everyone - it's very adult in content and sometimes offensive - but it's a sharp, clever story with great twists and turns - highly recommended! Read Full Review

Brian K. Vaughn turns the wheel on his narrative yet again, offering an unexpected twist that's both refreshing and intriguing. He and Fiona Staples combine for some excellent and touching character moments, though the already sparse good times are sure to become even fewer. Read Full Review

An auspicious end to what's been a somewhat formulaic storyline. Read Full Review

I knew to trust Vaughn with his story. I knew he wouldn't lead us too far astray, that everything was being done for a reason. I held out hope that he was going somewhere important with all of this, and finally, in Saga #23, we start to see what he's got planned. And, as expected, it's completely unexpected.

Vaughan and Staples have taken their characters to a dark place in a psychologically realistic way -- what has happened to Alana and Marko, or even to Dengo or Yuma, are things that happen to ordinary people all the time. The drama is universal, but the pain feels fresh, and this naturalism strengthens the breadth of "Saga" by dwelling on the ways that people can come together and fall apart, both in their relationships and in their own souls.

This is another quiet issue for Staples. He art is at her usual levels of quality, colorful and beautiful. Most of her effort goes into the faces of each character. The Robot's are always a delight, each frame always adding a layer of comedy or emotion to their scenes. Read Full Review

Saga #23 is a bit of a low for this arc, slowing things down and setting all the pieces into place so it can be ready for the big finale next issue. Some of the writing is problematic and rushed in areas, but it's not particularly bad either and the artwork still looks fine. Far from the best issue of the series, but it can always easily turn around in the next, so stay tuned. Read Full Review

Best issue of Saga in this arc so far. It's giving me that "I can't possibly wait another month for the next issue" feeling, which is rare for me. There is just so much delicious drama, it's like watching one of the Open Circuit flicks!

Ah the Prince and Marko finally are face to face

A rippin', sick, awesome issue... and thats just for eye-candy! great series, even when a heartbreaker...one more issue for me!

Good things are happening in SAGA. And by good I mean good for the readers. Things are progressing. Things are happening. Characters are in dramatic situations. Choices must be made. This issue is a great read and is a great new addition to the SAGA story to get you hungry for more.

Yet another win for the creative team, whose work together is incomparable to any other in the industry right now. The unending twists and turns of the story never let me predict what is going to happen, and this is totally good. Staples is astonishingly talented, as she manages to give something more to every single panel, even though the writing is already pretty dense. It's unfortunate that the situation we have witnessed will definitely lead to another hiatus, because I'm really enjoying this comic.

Good, but same old, same old
