Saga #43 – Vol. 1 – 2017 continues the poignant and fiercely original saga (pun fully intended) from the visionary team of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. As the series enters its mid-arc momentum, this issue strikes a beautiful, balanced chord — blending absurd space-opera spectacle with grounded emotional storytelling that feels heartbreakingly real.

Following the traumatic events of previous issues, Alana, Marko, and Hazel are once again trying to find moments of stability in an ever-volatile galaxy. Saga #43 excels in its quieter beats — it allows the reader to exhale without ever losing the tension simmering beneath the surface. It’s these human moments, delivered with Vaughan’s trademark honesty and wit, that give the issue so much of its emotional resonance.

In this chapter, Hazel’s narration is especially powerful, capturing the mixture of innocence and world-weariness that defines her character. Vaughan continues to offer razor-sharp commentary on war, parenthood, grief, and the small, defiant joys of love and rebellion. Every conversation feels intimate, whether between lovers, friends, or enemies. This isn't just space fantasy — it's social commentary delivered through an emotionally complex lens.

Fiona Staples’ art is, as always, utterly exceptional. The level of detail, facial expression, and atmospheric richness she brings elevates every page. From alien landscapes to candid, tender moments, her visual storytelling effortlessly complements Vaughan’s script. Colour, composition, and character design are all on point — this is art that both moves and mesmerises.

Though Saga #43 may not be packed with action, its strength lies in its character work, worldbuilding, and emotional depth. It's the kind of issue that lingers with you, adding new layers of meaning to the broader narrative arc and deepening your connection to the cast.
