Fiona Staples is one of my favourite artists in comics -- her work perfectly mixes over the top visuals with subtle clues. Hazel's narrative panels are really cool too, and I enjoy the dual-timeline storytelling thing they've got going on here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345874849864173182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-92106752923380562752018-01-27T11:40:14.336-05:002018-01-27T11:40:14.336-05:00I see everyone say good things about this series. ...I see everyone say good things about this series.

So far. Not sure how I'll feel after I read more volumes. I also tend to get bored easy.<br /><br />What gn's would you recommend Greg?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-37494298701668803672018-01-25T21:21:49.349-05:002018-01-25T21:21:49.349-05:00Ooh you're reading Saga!
