Saga #2

Fiona Staples's cover for this 2013 Cross Cult edition of Saga #2 centers on a striking elf-eared figure draped in flowing red, blood on his face, surrounded by dark scattered feathers and the sweeping wing of a large bird — an image that radiates both danger and quiet resolve. Brian K. Vaughan's story is brought to German-language readers here, with Marc-Oliver Frisch joining the creative team in an edition that makes this remarkable series accessible to a whole new audience. It's a beautifully composed package that captures the epic, otherworldly spirit the series is known for.
