10 Saga Moments That Shocked The World
2. The Endwife - Saga #45-46
By issue 44 of Saga, you likely feel prepared for whatever is on the next page. You've seen dragons committing strange unspeakable sexual acts, seen robots made sweet, sweet love, and witnessed the inside of more heads than a professional catscanner.
But you weren't ready for the Endwife. Quite simply, there's no way you were ready for the Endwife, because even the most zen of human states is woefully ill-equipped the deal with the goddamn Endwife.
Because the Endwife is a female werewolf - who is naked, with all eight of her saggy mammal appendages out - and who does black market abortions for those in need, which she does for Alana after her second child dies in the womb.
It's a heartbreaking storyline, with some incredibly emotional moments, so in a way it's for the best that the Endwife is so unusual that she actively distracts you from the events at hand.
It's rare that you have a character who is genuinely so surreal that you struggle to believe they existed after you stop seeing them on the comic's page, but this canine crusader is exactly that.
