Saga es militante tanto política como socialmente, en contra de las desigualdades de todo tipo. Por un lado con el relato, un guion de una gran calidad literaria, con continuas frases ingeniosas y sentencias bien razonadas que es difícil no sentir como auténticas. Y por otro, con unos dibujos complejos que recrean al detalle el también complejo universo imaginado (mezcla de fantasía y mitología). Un perfecto uso del color y de las medidas y una realización realista y explícita añaden otro golpe mortal a la mojigatería que también critica la obra. No se esconde nada en el dibujo de Fiona Staples (1982-): sexo interespecies, interracial, gay, desnudos integrales, transexualidad, un parto…. Saga no solo cuenta, sino que también muestra escenas representativas de esa diversidad de la que hace gala y ahí radica su fuerza para penetrar en la conciencia del lector. No parece lo mismo leer que ver. ¿Somos tan tolerantes como suponemos?¿Cómo reaccionará cierto público ante esas imágenes? Whitbrook, James (July 11, 2015). "Here Are Your Eisner 2015 Winners!".

My only real complaint is that there's a lot of nudity, which I don't generally mind, but some of it felt gratuitous. It wasn't all necessary. However, I did really appreciate that the women weren't overly sexualized, and that the amount of female nudity and male nudity was pretty balanced. It was also pretty body positive, and showed things like stretch marks on a character that had given birth as well as a variety of body types.a b c d Richards, Ron (January 30, 2012).

However, GR amigos Denise and Nutella unreservedly loved this series and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let anyone have any bloody fun without me, so here I am! Exciting how this series takes on topics like parenthood, war, trauma, sex positivity, interracial marriage, mourning and drugs with a big dose of humor On April 9, 2013, media reported that Apple Inc. had prohibited the sale of issue 12 of Saga through iOS, because two panels that depicted oral sex between men in a small, in-set image violated Apple's restrictions on sexual content. This resulted in criticism by artists and writers, who pointed to similarly explicit content in previous issues and in other works sold through iTunes. William Gibson and others suggested that the restriction could have occurred specifically because the drawings in question depicted gay sex. [107] A day later, digital distributor Comixology announced that it had been that company, not Apple, who had chosen not to make the issue available based on their interpretation of Apple's rules, and that after receiving clarification from Apple, the issue would now be sold via iOS. [108] And at the same time a new baby is thrown into the mix — a newly kidnapped royal Robot baby. Look at that adorable umbilical power cord!

Saga Compendium One - Brian K. Vaughan - Google Books

Which is not to say that there isn't lots to like here. The central characters are extremely endearing, and the sheer imagination involved in creating these disparate peoples, worlds and adventures is magnificent. We have intergalactic bounty-hunters, a race of television-headed royals, subaquatic journalists, hatching eggs the size of planets, lupine abortion clinics, and a dozen other things less easy to describe. Sometimes these coexist uneasily with a more terrestrial, even parochial idea of what constitutes Big Issues (corporal punishment is bad, trans rights are important, etc.), but on the whole the ambition is impressive. White, Brett (June 20, 2016). "'Saga' Action Figures Anchor New Wave Of Skybound SDCC Exclusives". Comic Book Resources. The first issue was widely acclaimed in publications such as Publishers Weekly, [76] MTV, Ain't it Cool News, Complex magazine, Comic Book Resources, iFanboy and ComicsAlliance; they all praised Vaughan's ability to incorporate elements of different genres, establishing the vast setting and mythology, and introducing characters that engaged the reader. Multiple reviewers likened the book to a combination of sci-fi/fantasy works such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings and classic works of literature such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and the New Testament. [2] [3] [4] [5] [77] AICN singled-out the use of the newborn Hazel as a lone individual to chronicle large-scale events from a past perspective, [3] and Alex Zalben of MTV Geek remarking that he could hear a John Williams score as he read the book. [2] Multiple reviewers also lauded Vaughan for beginning the story with Hazel's birth rather than hurting the story's pace with copious exposition of Alana and Marko's initial meeting and courtship. [1] [78] Todd Allen of The Beat approved of the book's unique "flavor", singling out the characters' motivations, the immersiveness of its surrealist setting, the strangeness of the story's various oddities and the timely nature of the story's political undertones. [24] Both Alex Evans of Weekly Comic Book Review and P. S. Hayes of Geeks of Doom called the series a "classic"; [1] [79] Hayes also praised Image Comics for publishing such an "original" series. [1] Also widely praised was Fiona Staples' artwork, which was characterized as "glorious", [3] with Zalben predicting that readers would "fall head over heels in love" with it, [2] and Greg McElhatton of Comic Book Resources positively comparing it to that of Leinil Francis Yu, specifically her use of delicate lines to frame characters with large, bold figures and Staples' mixture of the familiar and the foreign together in her character designs to create a visually cohesive universe. [78] AICN singled out Staples' handling of grand, sweeping space shots and other genre trappings, as well as her mastery of facial expressions – which AICN felt was perfectly suited to Vaughan's subtle dialogue. [3] Todd Allen of The Beat wrote that Staples' landscapes at times play as much a part in the story as the foreground. [24]

In 2014 the series won all three Eisners that it was nominated for: Best Painter/Multimedia Artist, Best Writer, and Best Continuing Series. [86] Es verdad que nos movemos dentro de la Ciencia Ficción, dentro de un escenario de guerras y viajes intergalácticos, pero este envoltorio se difumina rápidamente al darnos cuenta de que la crítica social que atraviesa toda la obra es fácilmente aplicable a nuestra sociedad contemporánea. Una crítica al poder, a la hipocresía, a la manipulación, y, en particular, al odio al diferente como detonante de los inacabables conflictos entre los seres humanos. a b c d e f g Lewis, Shane (February 26, 2012).
