Saga (Comic Book)	comment	An intergalactic ongoing series from Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples described as Romeo and Juliet meets Star Wars meets Game of Thrones.Far off in space, the large planet of Landfall is populated by people sporting (slightly functional) wings of various kinds. The moon of Landfall is called Wreath and is populated by people with various kinds of animal horns. The two races have been waging war for so long that the fight between the 'wings and horns' is just a fact of life. The wings have advanced technology while the horns wield magic — making the whole thing just a little more complicated and brutal.The actual plot starts when a POW Wreath soldier named Marko gets into a relationship with his guard, Alana. They then escape, breaking out of jail and deserting, respectively, and get married. While hiding out on another planet called Cleave, Alana gives birth to a halfbreed child possessing both wings and horns, whom they name Hazel. As the new parents rush to escape Cleave alive both factions become aware of the union and seek to kill the parents and possess their child.Completely unrelated to Romancing Saga.

It becomes awkward to handwave as Translation Convention because letters of the Latin alphabet are mentioned and there's a pun on "Hope" being both a person's name and a word in its own right.

Saga (Comic Book) / int_16bff523	comment	TV Head Robot: Robots all have televisions for heads, which are usually blank but will occasionally reveal their thoughts. When they're recalling a memory or dreaming, their screen will show what they're thinking. When they're feeling strong emotion, they will show a metaphorical image of their emotion, such as a lighting bolt for anger or a rose for love. Each robot has a unique style of television that sometimes implies their rank. Prince Robot IV has a sleek and rounded set, King Robot has a massive widescreen, the peasant Dengo has an old-fashioned set with knobs, and a pair of robot soldiers have monitors with monochrome green displays ala the Apple ][. Queen Robot also has a very old-fashioned set, so the modernity of the design does not always follow class lines.

Saga (Comic Book) / int_1dfd19f9	type	Papa Wolf
Saga (Comic Book) / int_1dfd19f9	comment	Papa Wolf/Mama Bear: A running theme throughout the entire series. Marko breaks his vow of pacifism and single-handedly destroys an entire squad of heavily armed, power-armoured Landfall soldiers with his sword alone, defending Hazel and avenging what he thought was Alana's "death". Alana makes it very clear she would rather see Hazel dead by her own hand than alive in the hands of monsters. Prince Robot IV shoots The Stalk dead the split-second he thinks she's about to pull a weapon. As he does so, a rattle appears on his monitor, implying that his thought process was that he had to be alive to raise his future child at all costs. He would later hunt down and kill Dengo as retribution for killing his wife and abducting his son, whom he would be fiercely protective of from that point onward. The Will in what counts as a Pet the Dog moment, is more than prepared to kill dozens of Sextillion gangsters and risk his own death in order to save Slave Girl, whom he so far seems to have 'adopted' until he can find her a home. Marko's parents sold their house in order to get the magical tools that would allow them to find Marko. D. Oswald Heist is an unusual non-violent version. When his son committed suicide as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Heist risked his own career and safety to write a subversive anti-war novel aimed against the two most powerful — and most dangerous — powers in the galaxy, the Landfallians and the Wreathens.

The Will, meanwhile, also travels to Sextillion on Wreath High Command's tab, only to be bored out of his wits with its offerings until someone made the fatal mistake of trying to sell him an underaged Sex Slave. Lampshaded by Oswald Heist, who explains that the title of his book The Opposite of War actually refers to sex; the pacifist Marko and Alana have a loving sex life, which the more hawkish characters don't.

The Robot Kingdom has "machine head," "drone," and "blueblood" - although the latter is literal and might just be an inoffensive nickname. â€œDroneâ€� is used by all non robots to refer to all robots, but is apparently also used by commoner robots to refer exclusively to the robot nobility.

The government of Wreath may have hired assassins to hunt down and kill Alana and Marko, but they made sure to specify that Hazel is not to be harmed, and even The Stalk has to back down and mutter "Damn, bitch," to herself when Alana herself holds Hazel at gunpoint just to keep The Stalk away. Landfall and Prince Robot IV however, not so much. The Brand has surprisingly high standards for a Freelancer, preferring to accomplish her contracts without killing. When hired to suppress Doff and Upsher's story about Alana, The Brand opts to dose the reporters with a selective silencing potion rather than simply assassinating them. She cites their stories in support of the Freelancers' Union strike as her justification for doing so.

Marko is pacifistic, eloquent, dashing, and principled. Heâ€™s also a one-time wife beater with a bloodlust that he doesnâ€™t get under control until his final moments Alana is creative, funny, brave, and fiercely loyal. Sheâ€™s also dropped bombs on innocent civilians and has a thirst for adventure that is clearly screwing up her kids.

The front lines are exactly as horrifying as you'd expect in a galaxy where one side wields roughly modern weapons and the other inventively deadly magic. But both sides realized at some point that they couldn't continue the war on their home turf - destroying Wreath or Landfall would see its opposing celestial body hurled out of orbit and destroyed too. In order to continue the conflict, they outsourced it, dragging every other world into their fight. There are conscripts and enlisted soldiers who just want to finish their service and go home, risking and losing their lives (some only there for the entitlements offered soldiers, like tertiary scholarships); planets whose whole native populations have been wiped out, and nobody knows or cares which side it was; refugees in camps where they're kidnapped by or sold to sex/slave traffickers; thinning resources; orphans, widows and widowers not just from violence but also from mentally-shattered or mutilated veterans committing suicide. It goes on and on. You could sum up Izabel with the trope name: the ghost of a teenage girl, parents rebelling against both occupying forces but personally uninterested in fighting, who stepped on a land mine and found herself stuck defending her planet in death. Her people were wiped out anyway, and she doesn't even know who was responsible.

Saga (Comic Book) / int_f8cddfb2	comment	Laser Blade: Sextillion enforcers invoke the trope when The Will points what seems to be a sword handle without a sword at them, asking him if he's going to kill them with his "faggy laser sword". The Will promptly shuts them up by impaling one of them without even leaving the spot he was standing at - it's not a sword, it's a retractable lance.

Saga (Comic Book) / int_fccd06b6	type	Beware the Nice Ones
Saga (Comic Book) / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Marko is noted for his mild personality and aversion to violence. However, he's also prone to going into an Unstoppable Rage, which is why he's become so reluctant to kill. We see him enter his bloody frenzy early in the series, and several characters mention him flipping out during a combat mission. The worst part (for him) is that he admits that he likes how it feels when he's fighting in this state. Squireâ€™s age, trauma induced muteness, and attachment to Alana make him seem mild mannered and kind, but he shows a trouble lack of concern over taking the life of a lying cat.

Saga (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	The Will in what counts as a Pet the Dog moment, is more than prepared to kill dozens of Sextillion gangsters and risk his own death in order to save Slave Girl, whom he so far seems to have 'adopted' until he can find her a home.
