I am very far behind in my comic reading. I started Sandman, but to be completely honest couldn’t get into it at all (I know, blasphemy). Then I was recommended two indie comics by a friend, and picked them up at our last visit to Tate’s Comics. I am so hooked on both Saga and The Wicked & The Divine! I’ve only read the first volume of the two, but I cannot get enough. I know I’m the last one to jump on the Saga bandwagon, but better late than never I say!
The Wicked and The Divine is a more fun story (although complex as well), about gods that come to Earth every 90 years, but only for 2 years, before they are gone again. This time, they have returned as rock/pop stars. The art is flipping gorgeous (I mean – look at that cover!!), and I’m loving the character development. I can already tell this is totally going to inspire some future cosplays!
Saga is an epic space opera. It has said their influences stem from Star Wars, and I can definitely see that. It’s a story rich in characters, with a war raging in the background. I’m just getting to know Alana and Marko now, and their little baby Hazel. However, the span of Saga focuses on Hazel and her life, so I can’t wait to dig in deeper to the storyline. I like that it pushes boundaries and is so fantastical. Basically, I’m all about it. Gimme more.
Have any of you guys read either of these comics?
Do you love them as much as I do?
