And now for something completely different, i.e., me fangirling a non-Marvel comic.
Before I get to the story itself, let's take a look at Fiona Staple's cover for the trade paperback:

It's beautiful.
So...there I was, standing in line early one Wednesday morning, new comic books in hand and ready for purchase, when the cover of the just-released first volume of Saga caught my eye. I started leafing through the pages, and when I reached the counter, my usual Wednesday morning comics pusher said, "Isn't Saga great?" I admitted I wasn't familiar with the title, didn't know Fiona Staples' work, and wasn't familiar with Brian K. Vaughan (hey, I'm still in my novice year of comics reading!). He side-eyed me, then said, "Buy it." Didn't even bother to tell me what it was about, just told me to buy the book, and I obeyed him.
( SPOILERS - sort of - for Saga 1-6 )
