10 Best Comic Books That DON'T Have Superheroes

9. Saga

There's not much to be said about Saga that hasn't already been said countless times before, but here we go anyway.

The comic is a sci-fi epic from Image Comics that deals with a pair of starcrossed lovers caught in an intergalactic war. In this case the pair are Alana and Marko, who are eventually accompanied by their daughter Hazel.

It's filled with drama and suspense, and blends sci-fi and fantasy together in a manner not all dissimilar to that of Star Wars, only with more violence and explicit content. So, in a way, not like Star Wars at all. But whatever - I digress, because Saga is a truly special comic and one that's popularity illustrates the strength of the medium outside of the superhero bubble.

Brian K. Vaughan is no stranger to superhero-less works, but arguably what makes the series so special is Fiona Staples' art. It is wonderful to see unfold on the page, and while fans have had to wait a... long time, for the next issue, it'll surely be worth it.
