    For roughly $3 you will get 44 pages of Saga #55. That's cheaper than anything the big two publishers have to offer. Vaughan and Staples have returned three years later with an entry into Saga that is one of the best issues of the series thus far. It sets Saga up beautifully in 2022 and beyond, and moves our characters further into peril, and hilarity. Hop on the flying tree now, it's about to blast off. Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Mikkel Snyder Jan 31, 2022

    I've read many great comics while Saga was on hiatus, but Saga still hits different. Vaughn's writing takes you through an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you reeling. Staples' art has your eyes wide open in awe of the spectacle and then blush at the risque. Saga in its totality is the medium at its pinnacle. A sequential combination of words and visuals that captivate, that makes one relish the turning of the page. You can't not talk about Saga when there is Saga, and it's good to be back. Emotionally devastating still. But oh so very good. Read Full Review
