Saga may be the best indie comic currently out. It takes my two favorite genres, fantasy & sci-fi, and fuses them together making one of the most epic stories ever told. 
 Without spoiling much, meet Alana. She has wings, and she's badass. Not terribly strong or adept at fighting, but she's a survivor, and she won't let anybody stop her. 
 Then there's Marko. Ah, Marko, incredibly flawed, but remarkably charming. He's a Moonie and he knows magic. This isn't your Harry Potter magic, this is Magick with a k, deep-rooted in some super dark shit. (pardon my french). Oh yeah, and he has horns. 
 Then there's Hazel, Alana and Marko's newborn daughter. Alana's kind, and Marko's kind don't typically have children, especially since each race is born to hate the other in an endless war that spans across the galaxy. Basically, Hazel spells hope. *aside* Thank you, Vaughan for not actually naming her Hope. That would just be too cliche. :) 
 We also got some other super awesome characters, but I can't bare to spoil anymore. This book is so good, you have to go out and read it yourself, and if you can afford it, buy it! Vaughan and Staples created a genius comic book masterpiece and they deserve every penny we can throw at them. 
 Just don't be mad at me if you're sucked in and can't stop reading. 
 Oh yeah, P.S. Don't attempt to read this if you're easily offended by violence, nudity, or sex. This is real shit, and you best be prepared. What's nice is it's not too gratuitous or over the top. It's artistically placed, and there's the genius. You have been warned.
