Saga, Vol.12

 
YES, it's that semi-annual time when Image Comics gather together the past years worth of issues and compile them into the next collected volume, this time for Volume Twelve of the long-running Brian K Vaughn/Fiona Staples epic SAGA!

As you might remember, I gave up on the monthly issue-by-issue format of reading the series with issue #56 and have been only reading them through the collected books, starting with Volume 10...so it's quite a long wait in between!

Re: Read: Next Wave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

 

An absolutely BRILLIANT series satirizing every cliche in superhero comics and poking fun at some of Marvel's sillier characters from Machine Man, Modok, Devil Dinosaur & Moon Boy and all of the zany Psychedelic Steranko-influenced hijinks of the late 60's Spy movies, NEXTWAVE concerns a bunch of C-List Superheroes banded together to go against their own evil organization when they find they're trying to "take over the world", fighting against impossible odds even while fighting amongst each other and their own self-loathing and short-comings!! A True MASTERPIECE!

This might be the fourth or fifth time re-reading this highly entertaining one-off seires, and it wont be the last! SO MUCH FUN!
