The adventures of Alana, Marko and Hazel continue, though now in separate threads: Alana and Hazel in one, Marko in another. By the end of Volume Five, Hazel has been kidnapped but Alana and Marko are reunited. Everyone's on the run and seriously, I think I'm going to need to create a character map to keep track of everybody.
If you wish for more info on the basic premise of Saga, my previous post is here. This installment covers issues #25-30. The energy is relentless. Death is frequent, instantaneous and brutal - don't get too attached to anyone. The material is often disturbing, including bad drug trips. It is often disgusting - dragon sperm plays an important role. Yet, through it all, even with all of the bizarre scifi trappings, the basic tale of the family is one of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It's downright masterful.
