Saga #18 (2014)

Cover:

I think you got a little wine on your muzzle.  Let me get a napkin so I can wipe it off.

Plot:

Things continue to go to crap on Quietus as characters finally cross paths.

Writing:

Wait, you love him?!  Since when!?  Where the hell did this come from?

Our Heroes:

Actually, he knew you would survive because he read the script earlier.

Our Villain:

Umm… is he going to be okay?  We may to shoot him again to reboot his system so he is fixed.

Our Side Characters:

So… yeah.  The Will’s in a coma now.  Oh well, it’s not I cared about him anyways.

Action:

Unless you count that shove, none to really speak of.

Dialogue:

Well, he did sort of draw on her, so it’s not completely black and white here.

Art:

…it’s art.

Most Memorable Moment:

And you shoved her off to her death and it’s only because of luck and convenience that she survived.  You are a great husband and father sir.

Final Page:

D’aww.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Every group has gone their separate ways, all changed by this experience.  Who knows what future lies ahead for them.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

If your wife has wings but has never successfully flew before, shove her off a ledge with your baby anyways.  Perhaps luck will be on your side.

Yay or Nay?

meh

Saga #17 (2013)

Cover:

Gah!  Get off of me you creepy TV headed individual!

Plot:

Prince Robot IV is right below everyone and is holding Mr. Heist hostage at the time.  What will our heroes do?

Writing:

I think the writer is trying to say something about modern entertainment from how much he’s trying to beat it into us in one scene.

Our Heroes:

…mercy killing?  Seriously sir?  Your mind went to that first?

Our Villain:

OH NO!  I hope he’ll be alright!

Our Side Characters:

oh no… he died… I feel so sad.

Action:

BOOM!  Headshot!

Dialogue:

Ah… Prince Robot IV?  Why are you all of sudden randomly answering his questions?  Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Art:

And random orgy scene to maintain that this is a “mature” comic.

Most Memorable Moment:

See what I said about the villain’s section.

Final Page:

Huh, that went to hell quickly, didn’t it?

What We Should Take from This Comic:

War is very strange and has many different interpretations of it apparently.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

The opposite of war is sex…

Yay or Nay?

Meh?

Saga #16 (2013)

 

Cover:

Man, the snipers are still lousy shots in this world!

Plot:

The freelance journalists are so close to the truth now that their very lives may be in danger.  Also, more family shenanigans take place.

Writing:

I think the writer is trying to say something about modern entertainment from how much he’s trying to beat it into us in one scene.

Our Heroes:

Still doin’ a lot of nothin’.

Our Villain:

Even robots with TV’s for heads still get awful reception.

Our Side Characters:

oh no… he’ll die if they don’t get there soon enough… this is so sad and tragic…

Action:

It took the issue off to go do something else.

Dialogue:

It’s trying to be so relevant and “real” that it sounds strangely silly coming out of these odd looking people.

Art:

I think it’s trying to invoke old 20s or 30s cartoon style.

Most Memorable Moment:

Gwen: The only person so far who’s not an idiot when they see someone who should not be there.

Final Page:

I’m predicting an old fashion standoff next issue.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Modern media sucks and has no substance, while using the gay card to feel oppressed to get out of talking about sensitive information works.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

Basically what I said above.

Yay or Nay?
