So I Guess I Was Warned....

TITLE: Saga Vol. 9
AUTHOR: Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples
PUBLISHER: Image Comics
PUBLISHING DATE: October 2, 2018

FROM GOODREADS: The multiple Eisner Award-winning series returns with a spacefaring adventure about fake news and genuine terror. Get ready for the most shocking, most impactful SAGA storyline yet.

Collects SAGA #49-54

MY THOUGHTS:  So at this point, it's impossible to give this the review it deserves without spoiling it so I'll probably keep this short and sweet.  So many bloggers I trust mentioned that something shocking/drastic/indescribable happens in this edition and man, the authors sure didn't pull any punches.  I don't know that I'll ever get over the ending.  I mean, I actually tossed the book on the couch and declared "I'm done!"  as in forever.  However, I doubt that's true.  On the plus side, I did get to see some more of cute little Ghus in this one.  

RATING: 5 PAWS (and one ripped out heart!)

  1. I almost quite watching Game of Thrones season one after episode two with Lady. That was nearly it for me!

  6. You were! I warned you! I know for you it was just the one thing, but for me it was also the other thing, so it was a two-fer. And now we have to wait while the creators are on hiatus :-/
