![]() ![]() Saga #54 opens on her fleeing merchants in the streets of some strange city and then surviving a suicide bombing with asterisk of "physically anyway." Throughout the past 5 issues, Hazel has meditated on how those around her responded to Marko's absence, but she only comes to focus on herself in the pages of Saga #60. Both Marko and Prince Robot IV were leading men and the series in their wake has modified its mode of storytelling with Hazel stepping into her own unique thread independent of her caretakers. That structure allowed the narrative and characters to resonate on the obvious absences from the cast. Yes, they were kidnapped by pirates and engaged in a potentially lethal drug deal, but everyone came out whole with their most fearsome pursuers still several steps behind. This entire arc of Saga has been, relatively speaking, peaceful for Alanna's family considering what they endured across the series' first 54 issues. I'll do my best to not outright spoil the specific events of this issue, but if you're still reading I would sincerely encourage you to read Saga #60 before any review as it delivers the exact sort of visually thrilling and emotionally captivating singles issues of story that Saga built its reputation upon. ![]()
