1. Saga
Image ComicsSaga has something about it that you cant quite put your finger on, some unnameable quality that makes every issue consume you so wholeheartedly that youre left desperate for more. Its blend of fantastically weird character designs, breathtaking worlds, and masterfully written panels never fail to delight and entertain. Saga initially looks like a colourful and cheery adventure, but dont let the beautiful primary colours fool you this is most definitely not a series for kids. Featuring as much gratuitous sex and violence as your average Game Of Thrones episode, each issue shocks and captivates in equal measure. Narrated by a character that hints bleakly about whats to come, the story telling by young couple Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples is utterly gripping and every perfectly written cliff hanger makes the wait for each issue more unbearable than the last. Featuring some of the most human and relatable non human characters in a comic, this fantasy meets space opera has a wide range of perfectly written characters that you cant help but root for. Whether its the badass mercenary The Will, the television faced Prince Robot IV or the series main two protagonists Alana and Marko, each characters journey is equally fleshed out and endearing. Saga embodies everything that there is to love about the medium, its surreal, exciting, fantastical, mature and action packed. This is a series that truly has something for everyone, and may just singlehandedly restore your faith in comic books. You need this series in your life.
