Saga Compendium One: (Vol. 1-9)

Love this comic! If you are looking for quality, art , a solid storyline, good characters good&naughty, and just an all around worth while book to get into then you dont have to worry about spending your money here. No dissapointment... None, zilch, nada! Worth every penny. It showed up via the handy dandy amazon delivery guy ans was in perfect shape, not a knick or dent. I'm always wary of getting reading materials when i cant peruse the pages to find out if the story is quality enough to spend money on but hot d@mΩ im really glad I took a leap in this one. Saga has a storyline that isnt dissapointing amd the artwork in it alome can stand on its own 2. I really really really like it! It can be rough finding a story thata actually really good and well written and this one has be so happy its actually the first time i felt i really needed to poat a review on amazon( like this is literally my first amazon review ever) i wanted to write it to put whoever is considering buying thia things mind at ease bc the main thing i wantes to know isnif it was worth my money, if it was interesting enough and good enough of a book to soend what is roughly 3 hours of my work earnings on ut, a few days of anticipation of its delivary and days worth ir reading the thing or if it wish id not have bothered too... But honestly, this comic is amazing and i will be definetly spensing more money fir the rest of the story and I am totally pleased with what I got in thia purchase. So do it! If yiyr on the fence, yes, im as picky and particular as you are bahaha you are goid to go :-)

One of the greatest books ever. Highly recommend, great story amazing art.

What can I say? Oh, I know: BUY THIS BOOK!!! The artist and the author both love the medium and after consuming this masterpiece I love THEM! I have no idea what real world rock I was under when these 54 issues were first published but I am so thankful for this beautifully collected, all-in-one volume now! I skimmed over this during a last minute round of Christmas shopping, saw some things that interested me and took a chance, ordering it for myself. I didn't want to ask anyone for it as a gift because I couldn't guarantee I would love it and I didn't want to put anyone under that stress a week away from Christmas but needless to say SAGA is AMAZING! It's mature, liberally irreverent, silly, graphic, personal, romantic, insightful, adventurous, provocative...on and on and ON!!! I have never been so overwhelmingly satisfied by what was essentially a blind purchase in my life! Without a single preconceived notion I got this 1300-page behemoth in its glossy, square bound format and was unable to put it down! Truly worthy of the designation "Graphic Novel", this book and all it's mature content is for ADULTS and is worthy of a good spot on your bookshelf. I have even considered buying a second copy so that I don't have to stress over what I do to this copy reading and rereading it! Did I say "buy this book" yet? BUY THIS BOOK! And look out, the next leg in the saga of SAGA is going to launch soon with issue #55 so hurry and visit this universe, you'll be glad you came!

Review:☝️Saga Compendium 1 Graphic Novel ☝️ I really enjoyed this graphic novel its issue/ book #1-54. I went into reading this not knowing much other it was about a couple of star crossed lovers that fall in love despite how taboo it was for them to be together. I’m glad I didn’t have any expectations for this compendium because it was such a unique story. Think Romeo and Juliet a couple whose family is at war with each other, they end up falling in love but in Saga their stories don’t end so quickly. They run away together and have a baby risking turning everyones world upside down if anyone found out. Instead we are following a story about people on a planet called Landfall and people on their moon called Wreath being at war with one another. This war has been going on for a long time, no one can remember a time they weren’t. We have a group of people with wings from Landfall and a group that have horns from Wreath(Distinctive features to tell them apart). Mom Alana (winged) and dad Marko (horn) both soldiers put a target on their backs having this love child and from deserting the war. A bunch of killers (freelancers) are hired to find and kill them. We follow their journey to stay alive and keep their daughter safe. We get to meet some interesting characters along their journey and see how everyone is effected by the long war that has created hate and divisions between them. There are a lot of stories unfolding in Saga I like that though the whole story we have Alanas and Marcos child telling the story. Saga has action, love, hate, war, killing, forgiveness etc. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did but can’t wait to read more. There have been a few more issues released since the end of this compendium that I will be buying and reading soon I hope 🤞 . These graphic novels are NOT for children or teens. They are graphic and is inappropriate for a younger audience. I’ll be reading Brian K Vaughan’s “Y The Last Man” compendium once I get the second half (compendium 2). I saw the new show of Y The Last Man on Hulu a couple months back liked it and found out it was a graphic novel as well.

A beautiful, poignant, dark, sad, and often hilarious series. Oh boy, this is a roller coaster of emotions: some of the best-written, realistically-motivated comics characters you could root for face so much struggle throughout their adventures. A huge cast of characters might be difficult to keep track of IF you read this month-to-month, but reading it straight through solves this problem (because it is so much of a page-turner that I blew through all 1000+ pages of it in about a month). MUST READ !!! The only people I wouldn't reccomend this to are those who might be put off by graphic violence or sex, but these situations occur rather infrequently and have a tangible, important effect on the story !!! So, my copy was slightly damaged at the edges but I don't care--I intend to borrow this to all of my friends who show the slightest interest so they can experience it.

As one of those underfed, undersunned, undersocialized yet horrifically garrulous book lovers who thinks of titles like War & Peace & Earthly Powers as light reading & feels empty without a daily dose of Yeats or Dickinson, Kierkegaard or Plato, I'm humbled (& thrilled) to proclaim from the mountaintops -- as it were -- that Saga is already among one of the greatest things I've ever read & an absolute masterpiece of fantasy/sci-fi/human storytelling

I went in skeptical and walked away a vocal advocate. It's honestly hard to think of what I enjoyed the most about this book. The art, the characters, the humor -- all superb. That being said, Saga plays by its own rules requires an open mind. Going in expecting a serious opera or a traditional sci-fi adventure will leave you confused and maybe even disappointed. But if you approach this book with an open mind, you will be treated to a well-paced escalator of wonders and pathos. Questions raised early on will be answered eventually. Allusions to events that occur hundreds of pages later are a delight when you get back to them. And variety of inspirations from which the author draws will leave you digging through the internet on self-imposed (and enjoyable) scavenger hunts. Just trust that that the book will take your spirits in the right direction -- upward. My final piece of advice is to enjoy this book as you would a nice glass of Scotch. Sip it slowly, savor and think on it, and then take another sip. Binging it would also be enjoyable, but you would likely miss many of the subtle touches that make the universe and characters feel so alive.

The book is great. Only giving 4 stars because the cover arrived bent. Shrink wrapping the book before sending it would probably prevent this issue. The content is still there and that's what matters.

This has been sitting on my to read list for quite a while and decided to give it a go after seeing it for such a good price. Reading the first few issues has proved to be very interesting so far and can’t wait to read more. This is definitely a must read for anyone into fantasy, sci-fi, adventure story or just looking for a long story to get immersed in for a while

Yo compre el compendio 1 que contiene las historias de la 1 a la 54 en formato kindle. Valió la pena el gasto, me faltaban las historias impresas de la 20 a la 54 por lo que este gasto es muy bueno si comparas comprar uno por uno los volúmenes en inglés o si esperas a que salgan todos en español en MÉXICO. Lo único un poco molesto es el tamaño de la letra en el celular o tablet. En la kindle no se disfruta igual porque la pantalla es blanco y negro. Aun así la historia es maravillosa y muero por saber que más pasa en la segunda parte de esta increíble aventura.

Obra excelente, e tava num preço bom!

Originele comic, aanrader.

some pages are completely spoiled and have serious defaults. Bad edition.
