Ohh wow Saga graphic novels just gets better and better in each volume I am absolutely in love with this amazing series! Alana and Marko finally land on the planet Quietus too met the famous author who was the main reason that brought them together. And the author is sure eccentric and a drunk at that but he is a very special person to both Marko and Alana. And he really was a fantastic author that got Marko out of his deep depression which I won't say why he was in a deep depression because spoiler. But this special and amazing author got him out of his funk and made both Marko and Alana realize and understand there predicament they both have with there little family. And there a quite of multiple pursuers almost right on there heels. Especially one set of pursuers who is The Will and Gwendolyn who is Marko ex and she wants revenge for the heartbreak that Marko cause her. I really don't like Gwendolyn, and I still don't like her but she is kind of growing on me if she is in the other volumes I might eventually start liking her. But as of right know I don't like Gwendolyn but I do like how she is taking care of little Sophia and lying cat at the end of this amazing Volume. All and all I thoroughly loved and enjoyed everything in Saga Volume 3. I have already check out Volume 4 from the library and I so can't wait to read it soon!
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.
