Saga, Volume 2 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm enjoying this series, but I'm also wondering why it's supposed to be so "ground-breaking" and original. As I said about the first, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but it's only original if you're unaware of earlier sci-fantasy (notable examples are the worlds of Warhammer 40k and Shadowrun, although this might also encompass Burroughs' Barsoom series). I typically like Brian K. Vaughan's writing although it seems to me sometimes he tries too hard to buck expectations. Again, the art is alright, not what I would call a stunning example of comic-book art but certainly not the worst.
I like this series, but honestly I can't say I'd be missing much if I'd never read it, and certainly I would say if you have to choose between this and Fables, go for Fables.
