SAGA #12
by Brian Vaughn and Fiona Staples
It's like a cross between Silence of the Lambs and Star Wars!
Saga #12 is a very interesting issue to review. As usual, Vaughn does an amazing job with each character, and the controversial opening scene is very well written. However, this book is mostly filler. It does end on a very interesting cliffhanger that will make the wait for #13 veeeeeeeeeeery looooooooong. Back on the bright side, Vaughn introduces a very adorable pair of new characters (including a freaking tiny seal with a walrus with a bucket).
Fiona Staples' art looks a lot better than ever thanks to the unique atmosphere of Quietus. I love the coloring of this issue particularly with a mix of greys and whites thanks to the misty atmosphere of the planet.
Saga #12 is (sort of) filler, but it's still an excellent issue.
