About What a Saga!
From the publisher's feed
Comic books! The pursuit of geeks, nerds and those looking to escape reality. Now hang on a second, is that actually a fair statement? Not all comics are about super heroes and not all comics are the sole purvue of comics geeks!
This podcast focuses on one such non-super-hero, sci-fi fantasy comic called Saga which has managed to cross over into mainstream culture and awareness.
Saga depicts a husband and wife, Alana and Marko, from long-warring extraterrestrial races, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their daughter, Hazel.
It's a great blend of mutiple genres and doesn't shy away from themes such as ethnicity, sexuality, gender, social roles and the treatment of war.
So why not join Chief, Emma and Dave as they do a complete read through of this fascinating comic book series. You never know, they might be able to convert you into a comic reader!
