![]() Vaughan does an excellent job with this double sized issue of giving readers just enough information about the series to stay reading but also leaving so much to be discovered. This series isn’t for the easily offended: it’s not by any means the wildest book on the shelf, but it is pretty wild to say the least and the raw writing style employed by Vaughan is part of what makes this book what it is. Doesn’t get much more intense than that, does it? Vaughan pulls no punches with this first issue: there is all kinds of controversy including breastfeeding, the birth of a child, all kinds of profanity and some very…odd moments for lack of a better term. There is a great amount of action and tension in this first issue as Vaughan drops us right into the middle of an inter-stellar war following deserters from both sides of the battle in a race to save themselves and their child. Vaughan and this issue reads as part memoir, part space-saga. ![]() The narration of the first issue is a brilliant stroke of writing from Brian K. This is a grandiose tale from the first page, told in an amazingly personal and unique way. I don’t mean that in the bastardized form of the word as is used in ‘epic fail’ – I mean it for what it truly is: epic. ![]() Saga….what an appropriate name for what could be the most epic comic of 2012. ![]()
