Saga #55

Saga Chapter Fifty-Five brings together an unlikely trio on Fiona Staples' cover: a sharp-eyed blonde woman in a black jacket holding scattered pages, a broad-shouldered figure with elephant-like ears and a tool slung over his shoulder, and a young girl with small horns who holds a top hat with quiet composure. The chemistry between these three characters — guarded, gruff, and curiously self-possessed — radiates the kind of tension and warmth that Brian K. Vaughan and Staples have made the hallmark of this series. At $2.99, this 2022 Image Comics chapter is a fine entry point into one of modern comics' most inventive ongoing adventures.
