Gahh, I need to get this comic so badly...

[kiev4am]

I totally forgot this came out yesterday - issue #1 of Saga, by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. Ex Machina is one of my favourite comic books of all time, and I've adored Fiona Staples' artwork ever since she drew The Secret History of the Authority: Hawksmoor. The story is a sort of high-concept space epic with gritty BSG undertones, and the preview looks freaking awesome. Here's a gushing spoiler-free review. WANT this book.

WHOA WHOA WAIT.

I wasn't very interested in this before, but Fiona Staples is doing artwork? Damnit, I might have to get the trade. Or at least add it to my 'To Buy in the Future' list.

I know, I am a HUGE fan of her stuff, she's one of my favourite artists ever. This book seems like a dream team. That preview looked amazing. *geeeeeeek* Did I mention the first issue is double-sized too? :)

In other news, Newsarama has some June Marvel solicits including X-Factor - double-shipping, woo! I tried to post about it on RicStar and got put in the moderation queue, dunno if that's a new thing on there or just a glitch :/
