Saga #49

Saga returns and, as usual, doesn't miss a beat. Read Full Review

All in all, Saga #49 is a return to form for a series that has went from amazing to merely great. It delivers everything readers have come to expect from Saga and brought back the sense of danger that drove the book for so long. Saga remains one of the top books Image puts out every month and, if this story arc is half as good as this issue, it will go down as one of the best stories in a book full of stellar ones.

If you aren't reading Saga, or never have, stop punishing yourself. This arc is as good as any to pick up and dive into, and will, most likely, inspire curiosity about the series and the inevitable, insatiable desire for those sweet, sweet hardcover omnibuses. Read Full Review

This issue was a solid ease back into this universe, and it was worth the wait till the end of this issue to understand exactly why this might be the start of the most shocking, most impactful chapters of Saga yet. Saga #49 found good ground for these characters to stand on, and quickly pulled the rug from under their feet. The road to freedom can be paved with good intentions, but in the case of one of these characters it will spell doom and consequences. Read Full Review

This will be the arc where Saga loses it's magic, no way Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples can keep this as interesting and beautiful as it's been for the past 48 issues.......... Nope, this issue is amazing. The use of the Robot's monitors has been brilliant and it's perfection in this issue...and that ending! The only downside is between arcs I typically forget where we are and have to go back a few issues to refresh my memory.....nevermind, more Saga is always a good thing

This is a strong start to the new arc of "Saga," and there are a couple of developments here, including a pretty cool ending, to hook the reader for the next several issues. After all this time, not many series are able to be as focused and consistently compelling as this.
