		<description><![CDATA[The TV heads are deeply mysterious (while being mostly just a fun idea) - robots? Allegedly, but they get &#039;pregnant&#039;, whatever that means in this context.  I expect all will become clear eventually ...

I&#039;d second the recommendation of &lt;em&gt;Y: The Last Man&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ex Machina&lt;/em&gt; (BKV&#039;s most recentish famous comics), both of which are very good, in very different ways.  Personally, I think &lt;em&gt;Saga&lt;/em&gt; is, so far, better than either of them, in part because I think Staples is the most interesting and effective artist he&#039;s been paired with, but also because I think BKV&#039;s writing here is fantastically assured - as if he doesn&#039;t think he has anything to prove (which he doesn&#039;t), and is just relaxing and having fun.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Saga is an extremely inventive mix of sf &amp; fantasy (what the heck are those tv heads?), and more exciting than most prose genre fiction out there (and doesn&#039;t take 20 plus hours to read).  Unfortunately it&#039;s not standalone, but still enjoyable.  Don&#039;t give up after the first chapter.  If nothing else, the dialog will make you laugh.  Also get Y the Last Man and Ex Machina if you haven&#039;t already.  Hold the back cover out if you&#039;re embarrassed while carrying it.]]></description>
