This is only my third graphic novel that I've read, the other two being by Noelle Stevenson. I think Stevenson is more my style, though I can objectively say that Saga is great. It's just a bit too rough and tough for me... a good deal of profanity, violence, and some pretty freaky looking monsters. I really appreciate the fact that Alana, the mother, is both breastfeeding and holding a gun in the cover. It nicely represents the cool well-rounded character that she is. The plot and world-building were also interesting. At one point I considered leaving the comic unfinished because I wasn't really feeling the violence, but I realized I wanted to know where the story was going. 
 I don't think I'll continue reading the series, but for those who are a little less sensitive to this type of content than I am, it's a cool read and a fascinating world to enter!
