In preparation for the return of Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples, the crew gets together to discuss the first two arcs of Saga so far. This one's a little loose, but we had a great time putting it together. Note: we had some issues with the audio on this episode due to a cable coming loose, we tried to fix it in editing, but this one might sound a little funky. We're very sorry. ​
