Saga, last week's big winner, remains at numero uno in Australia, sits in the top three in the United States and Canada, but falls to number 5 in Mexico The Walking Dead, interestingly enough, has all but disappeared from the charts in Mexico, but fell as low as number 10 in United States. The charts across[...]

Timothy Carson writes: The Walking Dead and Saga make for excellent tango partners, nimbly keeping pace with one another's dance steps; this week, though, it looks like The Walking Dead may have been dipped a little too low and was subsequently dropped by Saga (I think it may have been on purpose.) According to ComiXology sales[...]

It's a win for 2000AD and the team who created it. And it's always a good week when there's Saga, with Lying Cat (I almost called her Grumpy Cat) on the cover looking regal, and more than a little dangerous Why not put her on every cover? No, that might be going a little too far,[...]

Any more? Oh come on Saga, what about a bit of sisterhood here? I'm not sure it was "Beth" But that's a more traditional weapon from Thief Of Thieves there And as for the phone… Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone's the NSA these days, Revival Or a strong positive female role model Or both. Even if they talk about themselves[...]

According to ComiXology sales last week taken from iOS in-app purchase charts, Forever Evil and the Saga series battled for supremacy across the globe Well, there goes my fantasy of becoming the next Ms Cleo. Broken dreams aside, Forever Evil and Saga were pretty much neck-and-neck, the former reaching the summit in the United States, Canada,[...]

Expect a very fast second print on that one. But All-New continues to establish itself as the new dominant "lead" X-Men book, Superior Spider-Man shows its continued appeal and Saga and East Of West continue to chart high And whatever you call it, there is continued respect, and sales, for Batman And Robin Even more so,[...]

According to ComiXology sales last week taken from iOS in-app purchase charts, Saga debuts with a vengeance, taking the top spot in major markets across the globe after nearly disappearing from the charts last week The Walking Dead isn't going down without a fight, though; the graphic novel remained in a close second in the[...]

Read this book, but you might want a box of tissues handy.

There's[...]

There's even more sex in the new Saga, and one of the climactic scenes may well be one of those comics that causes Apple to go all funny. Pretty Deadly gives us a Wild West equivalent of the toddler holding their breath until you do what they want. I'm sure once upon a time, I had a[...]

Saga was brilliant, the theme of the book is spelled out for us and it explains why there's so much sex between these pages Also, it appears Saga's working title was "The Opposite of War" East of West and Zero are both neck and neck for me in the contest for best new book of[...]

According to ComiXology sales last week taken from iOS in-app purchase charts, The Walking Dead has, yet again, virtually overtaken charts across the world; the zombie craze has swept across all of North America and Europe, overthrowing last week's competitor, Saga #16, and holding off the likes of Batman (2011) and The Justice League (2011)[...]

The Skill Kid with Majora's Mask was extraordinary well executed from a video game, and two young children as the Lone Ranger and Tonto were so stoic that they were incredibly adorable, even if the Ranger kept "shooting" me as I took their photograph. Inspiration from the golden era of television, Viking mythology (you know, that[...]
