Saga #50 has us joyous to celebrate this landmark number for the series. It even starts off with Marko and Alana celebrating with each other as they’re off on a date. It feels like we get fewer moments of the two alone together now, but that’s the case when you’re a parent sharing a home with another family and couple. My favorite moment here is that it shows how much the two have grown together as a couple. They were runaway lovers that had fights and seem to be at so much peace even though they still have no real safe place in the cosmos right now. It makes you really root for them in hoping that when this series ends, they will all be living together as a happy family.
Fiona Staples is so consistent with her work on the art in this series. The single splash page will certainly leave people something to remember along with a great nine-panel page, which is always nice to see once in a while in modern comics. The narration from Hazel has to be stale as she takes us through this story and it certainly doesn’t seem like its ending anytime soon.
