: I picked up Saga Volume 1 earlier this week for the first time. As soon as I
: finished it I ran out and bought the second volume. In spite of how
: ridiculous a lot of it is, I'm completely engrossed. It's another good
: example of how talent and passion can create something amazing for other
: people to enjoy. It doesn't feel like it was made for me though, or for
: anyone who's actually buying it. It feels like it was made for the
: creators. I feel like I'm getting a peak into their minds when I read it.
: That's what I seem to find so fascinating.

I love the ridiculousness of it! But if that isn't a huge draw, you might get a kick out of the slightly more realistic epics Vaghaun has done: Y: The Last Man (but all the women survived!) and Ex Machina (a political thriller about a man who... well... changes history on 9/11).

: I expect that a lot of this will hold true with Mayflower, given everything
: I've heard you say about it and the little bit I've seen so far. :)

Hah, yeah before it's over you'll probably get a decent glimpse of the weird voices in my head... The story may seem just an adventure sometimes, but that's because I've found it the easiest way to travel to all the different places in my head and heart and have fun at the same time. Just like Fistful of Arrows, I've sometimes worked on loads of action pages just for one or two quiet panels to really smack you around. :)
