Let’s put it this way, SAGA #37 begins with a drooling and snoring lady and ends with a big hungry family. It fulfills the teaser of a war in all places: the comet. In the minds of the creative team, war can be told without much bloodshed but with lots of of interesting dialogues and balloon thoughts. Indeed, mundane words and cuss phrases are littered here, but Brian K. Vaughan writes these as if you’re reading an excellent Eminem-Shakespeare literary fusion. Plus, this one gives readers some interesting character developments that may or otherwise factor in in the succeeding chapters.

Saga 37 02

Artist extraordinaire Fiona Staples has again drawn an exquisite gate-fold cover, and the interiors are mostly drawn, well, great. However, there are some panels that are insufficiently illustrated, particularly in mid-range and long angular perspectives that the faces are just smudges and/or just plain lines. But behold her Sophie and many Hazel illustrations for they are so gorgeous to look upon. Of course, I will skip the most graphic parts of her interiors because they are too hot to handle.
Saga #37 starts well though some of Brian’s lines are a bit forced and some of Fiona’s drawings in some panels are felt rushed. Generally a fine collaborative work of art, it has some of the beautiful female illustrations and detailed close-ups Fiona ever draws. Can’t wait for the actual war to take place in that heavenly body….
