This is the fourth trade paperback book in the Saga graphic novel series. I continue to really enjoy this series a lot. The settings and characters are amazing; I enjoy the bizarre settings and how very real the characters are.

In this installment Alana is working the Open Circuit as an actress of sorts while Marko stays home with Hazel. Tensions are building because of Alana's long work hours and Marko's loneliness. Meanwhile Princess Robot has her baby and Prince Robot IV finally regains his senses. Things come to a head with everything is traced back to the planet Gardenia..

This is the first book in the series where a lot of things start going wrong for Marko and Alana in a big way. It's somewhat heart-breaking but at the same time very engaging and engrossing.

I continue to really love how engaging and interesting this series is. I also continue to love the beautiful and easy to follow illustrations. The settings are amazing as well and I can't help but wonder what crazy adventure each new book will bring.

Overall this was an amazing continuation of the Saga series. This is probably the most depressing book of the series, but it was still very well done. I love the characters, the settings, and the illustration. I can't wait to see what the next book brings! I would recommend to graphic novel fans who enjoy science fiction settings with a space opera type of story.

Dude this story is getting brutal!

This volume is full of angst. And not good angst. Alanna and Marko having issues is disheartening. Prince Robot IV is completely out of his robot mind. And we've got the usual murder and kidnapping I've become accustomed to seeing in Saga. Poor baby Hazel is caught up in the middle of all this crap.

Can't wait to see how this shakes out!
