Yup I am sooo a fangirl of the Saga graphic novels! I absolutely, totally and utterly love this series so much. Each graphic novel gets just better and better and Saga volume #2 is no different. In the beginning chapters starts off exactly where volume 1 left off at. I finally read some of the background about Marko and Alana on how this two kick-ass and amazing couple met each other. We also are introduce to Marko's parents Barr & Klara who are amazingly fantastic as well! I just love everything about this fantastic book! Each characters we see and read are very well developed and diverse which I absolutely love seeing, the plotline is very easy to follow and totally unique. I have never read a graphic novel like the saga with amazing unique and refreshing concept before. The writing style is straightforward and flawless that I wanted to gobble each words up. And the graphic art is so amazingly beautiful that I just can stare at the graphic for ages! I really don't want too get into any details about this book because spoiler, but I really do highly recommend the Saga series because it is so amazingly fantastic and brilliant graphic novel that I can't wait to continue to read more about the Saga series. I really does deserves all the hype it gets!

















Brian K. Vaughan (Writer)


Born in Cleveland in 1976, Brian K. Vaughan is the Eisner, Harvey, and Shuster Award-winning writer and co-creator of the critically acclaimed comics series Y: The Last Man, Runaways, and Ex Machina (picked as one of the ten best works of fiction of 2005 by Entertainment Weekly).

Recently named "Writer of the Year" by Wizard Magazine, and one of the “top ten comic writers of all time” by Comic Book Resources, Vaughan’s work has been featured and/or reviewed in countless mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times, MTV, National Public Radio, and feminist magazine Bust, which photographed him for their “Men We Love” issue (don’t ask).

As an undergraduate film student at New York University, Vaughan got his big break as part of Marvel’s Stanhattan Project, a workshop for aspiring comic book writers. In the ten years since, he has written nearly all of the major DC and Marvel characters, everyone from Batman to the X-Men.

In September of 2006, Vertigo released Vaughan’s first original graphic novel, Pride of Baghdad, lavishly illustrated by artist Niko Henrichon. Inspired by an unbelievable true story of four lions who escaped the Baghdad Zoo during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Pride is equal parts anthropomorphic adventure and Animal Farm-like parable about the ongoing conflict in Iraq, and was described as "the best novel so far" about the war by the UK's Telegraph.

Along with his creator-owned work, Vaughan is currently writing The Escapists, a Dark Horse miniseries inspired by Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, as well as a new Doctor Strange limited series for Marvel with artist Marcos Martin.

This summer, the new WGA member/CAA client transplanted his poor playwright wife to Los Angeles, where Vaughan is currently working on the screenplay adaptations of Y and Ex Machina for New Line Cinema, as well as other new creations in film and television.

His home on the web is www.bkvcomics.com, and he’s become the last aging hipster to get a MySpace page: www.myspace.com/briankvaughan
