The smash-hit ongoing epic continues! Thanks to her star-crossed parents Marko and Alana, newborn baby Hazel has already survived lethal assassins, rampaging armies, and alien monstrosities, but in the cold vastness of outer space, the little girl encounters something truly frightening: her grandparents!
I just keep getting blown away by the character and world design, between the giant scrotum and world-egg it's completely out there and so much fun.
As with the first volume, I really like the story and the art.
The combination of the different plots works well and even I, as a graphic novel newbie, appreciate it a lot.
Coming from someone who never really got comics, I was surprised that I loved volume one. Volume two just kept coming: the world building, the characters and its gorgeous.

Wow it stayed excellent
Still perfection.
Socks rocking rockness. Still explicit, but excellent art and story make up for that.
Possibly the best series ever. I'm looking forward to Volume 3...
I was harsh on the first volume of Saga, but I really liked this one. The story is coming together well, and the artwork is great.
I'm still of the opinion that it's over-priced for what is essentially a single hour of reading - this time, I didn't buy the book, I simply read a friend's copy.
I was halfway there after reading volume one but now I'm completely a fan. Not only is the universe Vaughan created interesting and surprising without being too random, the characters all seem to transcend their cliche at one point or another. Vaughan keeps the storyline surprising if inevitable and makes sure there are enough humorous moments to keep me smiling throughout the read. Not only is the writing entertaining and well paced but the art by Fiona Staples is just fantastic. She gives life to so many of the creative ideas floating throughout the book and has enough visual humor and style to pull off whatever tasteless passages erupt during the story with panache. I highly recommend this volume and this series to any reader, comic fan or not.
This is every bit as wonderful as volume 1! Wildly imaginative, suspenseful, grounded in characters, and funny.
The second collected edition of everyone’s favorite galactic Romeo & Juliet story collects issues #7-12. It begins immediately following the events of Volume 1. Marko & Alana (along with Hazel & Izabel) have escaped Cleave and are fleeing the war on their interstellar treeship. Marko’s parents make a surprise visit, only to discover the situation that their son is now in. Needless to say, they are not pleased. While all of this is going on, our happy couple is still being pursuing by various nepharious agents who want to collect the bounties on their heads.
If volume one was an audacious statement of intent, then volume two only deepens the vision and mythos. Flashbacks are used to give more information and background to the various characters. The writing and art continue to be of the highest quality.

Saga may just be the best SFnal comic that I’ve ever read. I really cannot recommend it highly enough. Start with volume one. When you finish that, read volume two.
