With that said, I must take a moment to gush about artist, Fiona Staples I think comic book artists have so much control when it comes to how a scene is going to feel and how characters are going to appear No matter how good the writing is, the artist has a huge responsibility to[...]

Everyone loves Lying Cat from Saga. Everyone. Only those who haven't read Saga seem sceptical. In fact Saga, right now, is probably the comic book

Vaughan and Fiona Staples It's an even happier day when the issue is as good as #23! At this point, I'm probably biased because I don't think there's anything that Brian K Vaughan can do that would make me stop reading Saga His writing is too good Plus, when you accompany a great plot with[...]

Vaughan and Fiona Staples know how to start their issues with an eye-catching scene! I'm happy to say that this one made me pause and laugh out loud for a minute or two Saga continues to be one of my favorite on going series, and Issue #22 confirmed that it probably will be for a[...]

Vaughan and Fiona Staples From the get-go it sparked scandal, specifically for a main character breastfeeding her baby on the front cover in the first volume This is emblematic of what Brian K Vaughan has mastered over his career, the "pregnant moment" This is a term used in academic criticism of visual arts, referring to[...]

Artist, Fiona Staples takes things from bright and colorful to dark and graphic in a very tasteful way I'm never disappointed with the creative art style that she brings to this comic However, writer Brian K Vaughn is taking the plot in a new direction, and I'm not sure how I feel about it In[...]

Vaughn and Fiona Staples for their wonderful abilities to start so many issues of Saga off with a scene that makes your eyes pop out of your head His expressive words with her inventive designs continue to wow me. [*Spoilers for Saga #19 and mild spoilers for #20 below!] Now that issue #20 of Saga is out,[...]

Today's Saga #20 is lovely. A beautiful book full of irresponsible parents, angry children, massacres, dancing and copious drugs taking. What's not to

Vaughan and Fiona Staples have done it again Volume 3 collects issues thirteen through eighteen, and is filled with a combination of thrilling action and tricky confrontations What's really great about this volume is the evolution we experience with these characters over the course of six chapters Up to this point the story has been[...]

Spurrier and Stokely have created a weird and compelling and completely-feeling world that is super fun (and slightly scary) to get stuck in." – Fiona Staples Come on now Fiona, haven't you got Saga #20 to be drawing? We don't want to wait another three months do we? Where was I? Oh yes, then there's Preacher-style[...]

Fiona Staples really knows how to draw some terrifying beasts. Hazel's narration continues to be a guiding force throughout the pages of the story, which can be both comical and sophisticated Especially when Gwendolyn, Marko's supposed ex-fiance, shows up In an effort to seek revenge she teams up with bounty hunter The Will and the always[...]

Fiona Staples has created this amazing world that I can only compare to the best kind of fairy tale in terms of the overall look The panels with Hazel are full of pink happiness and the entire comic is visually stunning This book is beautifully constructed by Vaughan and Staples in every way I am[...]

Vaughan and Fiona Staples is possibly not the greatest comic book of all-time that the near-universal acclaim might suggest but it is one of the most entertaining and interesting comics I've read in years The story is simple but well told; two lovers are on the run in the middle of a war, alone against[...]

By Alex Wilson The gruesome mentality and action of war is, at the root, instinctual. What is the purpose of war? Some might argue to protect homeland,

There was one thing I did set out to "find" on my own and hoped I'd manage, something from Fiona Staples (Saga from Image) the honored guest of MoCCA Fest It was the tail end of the show, and I figured she would probably be sold out of anything brought to the show, or perhaps[...]

You need only look at the roster of creators who have provided variant covers for the comic to see exactly the kind of people who recognize the ingenuity and quality of the series, from Darwyn Cooke to Fiona Staples, Howard Chaykin to Alex Toth Beyond that, it's also been critically acclaimed on nearly every comic[...]

I'll try not to hold it against her that she's younger than me and instead hope that it means she's got many years of great comics work to come. Fiona Staples People that know me (and people that just know about comics) have asked me why I haven't featured Saga in any of my columns yet[...]

They should totally make this, shouldn't they?

Vaughan, with art by the always compelling Fiona Staples and letters and design by Fonografiks One more not about the cover: the black background is striking because it's not often used in Saga, and that's the way to do it, keeping some elements in reserve for special purposes Wow—both Lying Cat and Isobel get heated[...]

Vaughan and Fiona Staples returns this week from Image, thank the gods, and I'm sure there was much celebrating This issue promises to engage with some of the binding themes of the series as a whole (well don't they all?). There's a decided squee factor when the series lets loose and comments on information and how[...]
