And the weirder things get the more normal they get, too. The book is about hope, and relationships, and family, and survival. In one of the very first panels of the series, two of them are depicted having doggy style naked sex, which wouldn’t be that weird except for the TV heads.īut the thing is, all that stuff is sort of interesting but not what the book is about. There’s also an entire race of robot people with TV screens for heads. I can’t even think of her without whimpering. For instance, there’s a character who has a humanoid, naked, female torso, a humanoid, female face with eight glowing eyes, a giant spider abdomen and giant spider legs.

This comic is rated for ages 17+ which is not surprising as it is both sexually and violently explicit in very unusual ways. At one point there is an actual, legitimate reason for this line to be uttered: “You’re going to ram a missile? With a plant?” There’s a hit man who seems pretty normal except that he’s accompanied everywhere by a large blue cat who knows when you’re lying and says so. She used to gross me out, but now I think of her like a sarcastic, gory nightlight – it’s strangely comforting. She was killed in an explosion in the war and her ghostly intestines dangle, glowing, as her torso, head and arms float through the air. For instance, there is a babysitter who is the ghost of a teenaged girl. What isn’t simple is all the insane stuff that happens and all the insane characters that show up. But the warring powers won’t stop chasing them, for fear that people will hear about this couple and see their relationship as a symbol that peace is possible. They aren’t trying to end the war or find a magic thingamabob or anything – they just want to adore their baby and figure out this diaper thing and be left alone. Now they are trying to live on the run while dealing with a newborn. They fall in love, go on the run together, and have a baby, Hazel. Alana and Marko come from different sides of a vast interstellar war. It’s funny and touching, and I did mention strange and twisted? This is a story about a happily married couple, and a story in which the fate of many, many planets hinges on a romance novel. It’s also the sweetest, most romantic comic ever.

Saga is the strangest, most twisted, perverse comic ever.
