"Because you people are filthy racists who think every Robot looks the same."įortunately for this subterfuge, his Coalition partners are equally unenlightened but that's wilful war / mindless hatred for you. "Why would I degrade myself by putting on a lesser's uniform? I appear absolutely nothing like the man wearing it." Here's the always-infuriated Prince Robot - from a race of walking, talking, fornicating television sets - whom we dislike intensely but still adore: It is, however, deliciously mischievous and iconoclastic, taking every opportunity to turn preconceptions upon their heads. It's neither prurient nor lurid, but every volume boasts what I now call a 'Brian & Fiona Moment' when two of the sweetest creators on the planet remind you that they're both adults, that you leave these books lying around your grandparents' bungalow at your own risk and that dragons have solitary sex lives too. Diversity is all, and SAGA's space setting enables Vaughan and Staples to represent individuals of all shapes, sizes, colours, creeds, sexual orientations, thorax articulations and genital configurations.Īnd I'm not just saying I am being a responsible vendor. Like THE WICKED + THE DIVINE - equally venerated for its wit, irreverence and beauty - it is one of the most inclusive comics imaginable. Spreading love is what Vaughan and Staples do best. Vaughan spreading more than a little authorial love since SAGA is the biggest-selling series of graphic novels on the shelves right now, and he's suggesting that his readers might like to sample something new too. "Anyone who thinks one book has all the answers hasn't read enough books."īut it's also Brian K.
