I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Saga Vol 3 by Brian K. Vaughan (Writer), Fiona Staples (Artist), Fonagrafiks (Letterering and Design), and Eric Stephenson (Coordinator)


In the previous comic, Alana and Marco land at his parents' house and they are not pleased at first to see Alana, but his father comes to care about her and her mother comes to accept her.  Marco's father dies from an illness he has been hiding and they decide to head off to their favorite author's house on a distant planet.  Meanwhile, Freelancer The Will is trying to gain the freedom of a slave girl and Gwendolyn, Marco's ex-fiancee who has hired the Freelancers for Wreath to find Alana and Marco has arrived to see what is up with The Will and settles the problem with the slave girl and gets them on a spacecraft with his special cat that can tell when people are lying. The slave girl can tell when they are close to Alana and Marco and when they are almost upon them their ship gets attacked and knocked onto a planet.

Alana, Marcus, Izabel, the spirit, Marcus's mother, Klara, and baby Hazel land on Quietus where D. Oswald Heist the author lives and find a broken down drunk who isn't all that interested in seeing them at first until he realizes that they really got his work.  Quietus is anti-Wreath and he quickly gets them inside his lighthouse home.  Heist and Klara bond over being on different sides of a battle and losing loved ones. 

The Will is seeing his dead ex-girlfriend Stalk who is telling him to stay on the planet and convince the others to stay as well. The four are waiting on people from Wreath to come and fix the ship, but until then they are stuck on this weird planet. The Will hits on Gwendolyn and gets slapped down on the ground.  Other odd things begin to happen.

Meanwhile, two reporters are looking into the story of Alana and Marco and the official version of her being kidnapped by him that isn't holding up to them the tabloids.  But it will prove to be pretty dangerous to go forward with this story.  Prince IV is heading toward Quietus and worried about his pregnant wife.  This series just keeps getting better and better. Klara is as pigheaded and annoying as ever and Alana and Marco are as dreamy-eyed yet tough as can be.  Heist turns out to be quite a surprise.  The Will and Gwendolyn continue to change your minds about them.  This is a fabulous book and I highly recommend it.
