Saga Volume 9 (SAGA TP)

If you thought Volume 7 was stressful I'll warn you now that had nothing on Volume 9. I still haven't recovered from the horrendous ending of this one and I'm just praying things aren't really what they seemed because I can't bear it if that was really true!After finally seeing all of our favourite characters reunited at the end of the previous book I was honestly hoping that things might go smoothly for a while but of course you know thats not going to happen in a series like this. I mean some things are going well, we have several happy couples who are making the most of their time together, Hazel is turning into quite the little warrior thanks to her training with Petrichor, Ghus is a brilliant babysitter and our reporter duo are working on the story of a lifetime. Meanwhile things are going really badly for The Will and there has been no sign of Sophie, Lying Cat or Gwendolyn since Volume 7 so we're not sure what's going on in their camp.As much as I love these books I have to admit the body count has been a bit too high in the last few books for my taste, I'm starting to worry whether any of the characters I love are going to survive the series and frankly at the moment its not looking good. I'm still holding out hope that at least one character survives injuries received in this book though, I'm definitely not ready to say goodbye to them yet and the rest of this dysfunctional family needs them too much! Please don't break my heart like that!

As the title says. Buy all 9 volumes and dive into this amazingly well written world

My advice? Buy every volume and enjoy one of the best ongoing comics ever written.

Saga is one of those series that divides readers. Most of my graphic-novel-reading friends have long since left this title, having become disillusioned with the descent into soap opera following a mind-blowing and unique first couple of volumes. I stuck with it and had my interest revived around volume 6 (enjoyed 1-3, did not enjoy 4,5).This volume divided my own opinion. There were some real shocks and twists, while at the same time I found reinforced my feeling that the writers are meandering their way through this with no real aim or goal in sight... this title might go on for years with no satisfactory conclusion.With the recent announcement that creators Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan are putting the title on either a year-long or an indefinite hiatus (depending on where you get your information), looking to "creatively recharge" before finishing the epic, that feeling has been validated.If you've stayed with Saga this long, the events in this volume will make you feel something, for sure... If you dropped out already, maybe it's best to stay that way... If you're new to Saga, maybe wait a while until the writers have resumed and check on the feelings of those who have seen it through to the finish (if we ever get one).

I am a big fan of graphic novels but until now was more into Conan and Judge Dredd, only so much of that you can do so I dipped my toe into this one based on reviews from others. So glad I did, unlike some - given my love of Judge Dredd etc I am quite happy with open ended stories provided each book entertains me. This series did just that, too short in my view but I loved the journey. I will so miss my Saga.

I love this series, but seriously, it seems to end on an event that tears my heart out every time!! Prince Robot, his son and Petrichor are trying to sell their stories and using magic, change themselves into another species (the ultimate witness protection programme), but of course nothing runs smoothly!The Will lives up to his name (eventually), and the family seems happy at last. But that’s OK, because the ending sorts that out.And Ghüs is his lovely little self. If anything happens to him, I WILL NOT BE HAPPY!!AND there’s going to be a yearlong haitus!! What’s that all about then??!!
