Belinda's Reviews > Saga, Volume 10

“Then here’s to our other halves on the other side.”

I delayed reading this for an additional ten months because I wanted to hold onto the hope that what had happened last time wasn’t permanent. These four years would have passed and it would have been a fluke. A horrific nightmare we all experienced that Vaughan would mercifully reverse to save our poor hearts.

I should have known better.

Instead, what I get is a three year time skip and more heartache. Years have passed but you can tell our favorite dysfunctional family is still not handling grief well. Don’t worry, Marko has not been replaced nor will he ever be (Alana makes that very clear). She’s just trying to live her life now and be the best mom she can be with Hazel and Squire. She’s still got people coming for her left and right though. People want Hazel dead. She is living proof that their fucking people don’t have to fight an endless war and can, in fact, live in peace together. They don’t want that though. They want to fucking win, and they’ll do whatever it takes.

So you know what? Fuck the Will. I had a modicum of sympathy for this man until he did what he did. Fuck Gwendolyn for giving zero fucks about a man she once loved and desecrating his memory by (view spoiler)[fucking his murderer right next to his fucking skull (hide spoiler)]. And fuck Gale because if this man tries to kill fucking Ghüs I swear I will never read Saga again. You hear me Brian K. Vaughan?! If you kill Ghüs it is over!!! Marko was hard enough. I will not put myself through that torture again!!

I so wish that we could have Marko back. I am never going to stop wishing for that. And that ending was cruel and hurt my fucking soul because how dare you take away one of the few things they had left of him. The only place they had any concrete memories. How fucking dare you.

This was less of a review and more of a rant and I’m sorry for that, but Saga always brings out the emotions in me. I guess that means Vaughan is doing his job but dammit I’m tired of hurting!! Staples’ gorgeous art kinda helps but also not really. Please just gimme something happy in this damn series. Let them be fucking happy 😭
