review 1: Still stressed out about Marko and Alana... I don't like seeing him run around with purple girl, and I don't like seeing Alana turning to drugs. I don't really like anything that's happening right now with Marko and Alana. Except for Hazel. More Hazel always!I was shocked reading the part about the robot janitor. Wow! Didn't see that coming. Can't wait to see where that plot line takes us. I'm glad the robot kingdom plot line is so interesting, to distract me from my tears over everything else.
review 2: It's so funny because whenever there's a hiatus, I totally get lulled into this happy space where I'm just so ecstatic to have a new SAGA that I forget how much of an emotional roller-coaster this can be. 1. Seriously, Fiona Staples is the best opening page art... moreist I've ever known. Granted, I don't know a lot of artists. But seriously, every time I open SAGA, I go through an entire range of emotions: lust, surprise, embarrassment, amazement. It's overwhelming, and usually sexy as hell. This was no exception.2. Alana on fadeaway....I LOVE THAT PAGE!!!! Omg I want that blown up and on my wall. It was soooooooo pretty and the art totally captured the feeling of surrendering to the moment. I want that page SO BAD.3. Can see the writing on the wall with Marko. Poor guy. I mean, like, I can see how this arc seems like it's going to actually explore the idea of Alana and Marko as a real couple. Real parents. Real real real. And the real changes that every couple faces when the relationship changes from idealistic romanticism to mundane realism. While being on the run together, a unit standing strong against a world that doesn't want them to even exist, does a lot to reinforce the bonds forged by the acts necessary to maintain survival; the question of whether or not they can survive the regular working life of two newlyweds who are also recent parents is starting to arise. Alana is living her dream, losing sight of Marko in the process. Marko, feeling neglected while being a full time dad, is finding comfort in the subtle attentions of that teacher. And I can see where the day to day is starting to creep in.4. But it's too early for BKV to break all of our hearts, right? Like....it's too early for that, right? Only issue #20!5. But holy shit, not too early for the Robots, isn't it?! Holy fuck, while she's actually holding her little baby, dude?! Dammit that was cold.Another awesome episode, though it seems like most of the action surrounding our star-crossed lovers is happening on the periphery, while BKV takes this arc to deconstruct what happens to a relationship once the tragic romance is replaced by day-to-day life. How selfish we all are, and self-sacrificing to our own detriment. I wonder if they'll be able to root out the seeds being planted right now or if we'll watch for several arcs those fleurs de mal sprouting up between them. And what happens if they have nothing outside the running, the hiding, the gallant gestures and noble defenses? What happens when the biggest threat to their love is actually having no threat at all? less
