Holy Crap this was absolutely, utterly and totally freaking fantastic, that I can just kick myself for waiting so long to read this amazing graphic novel. It really does deserves all the hype it gets. Now since I've been getting into more graphic novel this year. I wanted to check out Saga I have always wanted to try this graphic novel for a very long time now. But I was really scared I would not love or enjoy it that much because of all the hype it was getting. Because there was one book I read Holy Crap this was absolutely, utterly and totally freaking fantastic, that I can just kick myself for waiting so long to read this amazing graphic novel. It really does deserves all the hype it gets. Now since I've been getting into more graphic novel this year. I wanted to check out Saga I have always wanted to try this graphic novel for a very long time now. But I was really scared I would not love or enjoy it that much because of all the hype it was getting. Because there was one book I read that had been overhype on it and when I read it I was really disappointed about that book after I finish reading it. And I really dislike when an overly hype books does that to me. So I decided to wait until the hype died down on Saga too start reading it. And O-M-Gosh I am so glad and happy I check this graphic novel out from my library because I thoroughly love and enjoyed everything about it. Now I won't go into any details about Saga, because I think everybody knows what it is about. Plus I just don't now what too write down on my review without spoiling it for everybody. All I can say is please read this book it just pure brilliant! I absolutely love the writing style and the amazing graphics. Plus the plotline was really easy for me too follow it did not confuse me at all. All and all this will be one of my top favorite graphic novels that I absolutely love and enjoy. That I can not wait to read and continue on reading the rest of the volumes in the Saga series!
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
