Saga
Written by Brian K. Vaughan and Illustrated by Fiona Staples
I've heard a lot of good buzz on this relatively new comic series and I've been getting a little burnt out on superhero comics lately so I figured I'd give it a go. It is definitely worthy of the praise it gets, weaving an intriguing tale of politics, war, race, religion, and multiple other social issues in an intelligent and thought-provoking way. I've usually never been the biggest fan of sci-fi and fantasy mixed together, but I really gotta give it to this series for making me rethink some preconceived notions.
