I mentioned Brian K Vaughn on the last page. Last night I started reading Saga. I love it so far.

In fact I forgot I was typing this post because I got side tracked by reading another two issues of Saga.

Saga is all kinds of awesome. I don't know anyone yet who's picked it up and didn't like it. Please, nobody try to disabuse me of this.

You know, I am not sure how to explain it without it sounding completely derpy. Two massive space empires at war. Two opposing combatants fall in love, have a baby, meet weird people along the way, run for their lives, etc... But it's told in such a fantastic, humorous, awesome way. And Fiona Staples's art is FANTASTIC.

Romeo & Juliet in space? The setting is like Star Wars with its ridiculousness dial cranked up to max? But a serious emotional story about love and family?

I'll back the opinion that Saga is a must-read series. It and Sex Criminals are my top recommendations for adults who are open to reading comics but don't know what to read.

Last weekend my hosting company upgraded the servers and it destroyed spacebooger.com
I used to do weekly reviews and had a legit posting schedule, now I only post I once a week. I thought about closing the site, which would save me money, but then I realized the domain was my main email.

Long story short, I'm keeping the domain, rebuilt the site this week and am opening it up for others to post. I tried this before but wanted a strict posting schedule from contributors, but not anymore - I'll take any posts.

If you are interested in writing ( literally anything not just reviews) about comics daily, weekly, monthly, once in a blue moon, or just one time - PM me and I'll make you an account to post whatever whenever.

I never intended it to be my site only. I always wanted a community of posters and readers. I think with some help we can make that happen.
