My boyfriend says I’m a monster because I always read his new comics before he does. I say, ya snooze ya lose. lol I’m sorry (no, actually, screw that, I regret NOTHING!) because when there are great comics to be read, I’ll be damned if I’m not going to read them. 😛 In all fairness, he takes forever to actually get around to reading them, and I keep my lips firmly sealed regarding spoilers of any kind. We have a system. It works. ❤
Our local comic book shop had some pretty good sales over the holiday weekend so he went ahead and added to his collection of Saga, picking up volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Needless to say, I descended upon those poor, helpless trades like they were newborn infants left out to the wolves. I read all of them while I was over, one after the other, until I had to stop at volume 7 to go partake in 4th of July festivities because ‘MURICA.
This series is just soooo damn good. It’s one of those gems that really lives up to all the hype surrounding it. In case I didn’t scream my love for this series from the rooftops enough in this “Cute Comic Couple” post or my spoiler-free review regarding Volume 2, let me just say:
Haha great post! My friends have started collecting the first few volumes of Saga and because of your admiration of them, I’m set to begin reading the first comic within 2 weeks. I’m excited because everyone is talking about it and I know it’s going to be great! My friend Erick has turned us all into comic addicts and now we’re hooked! I hope you enjoy volume 7!

Thanks!! ❤ Oh, that's so awesome that you're going to get to read it soon! 😀 How they manage to pack so much greatness into a single comic is beyond me. lol That's really cool that you'll also be able to immediately talk about it with your friends because it's definitely a series that leaves you with plenty to talk about. I can't wait to hear what you wind up thinking of it. Happy reading to you!!

Haha there’s technically a rule for not using anything new someone has just bought before them. I don’t think it applies to boyfriends though 😉

Haha I think you’re right, boyfriends are the big exception to the rule! 😛

In all fairness, he should know better than to put comics before you and expect you NOT to read them. 😛

I’ve always been interested in starting to read comics but never knew where to start or what to read, this franchise sounds quite appealing though x

Oh, cool! 😀 Yeah, I think Saga would be a great place to start. It really seems to appeal to just about everyone, whether they’re new to comics, or they’ve been reading them all their life. 🙂

Haha it sounds like the system works well. I haven’t read a comic in about 18 months I think that needs to change. Comics are cool because they are short and to the point so there’s no risk of me nodding off and waking in a fright thinking I’ve left the toast in the grill.

Not yet unfortunately, but I’m going to finish it up this weekend!! 😀 I meant to last weekend, but I’ve been so dang busy lately. I must know what happens though. I can only imagine the cliffhanger it’s going to leave off with since they seem to have a knack for those intense cliffhangers. lol
