Saga, Vol. 12 Is Still the Best Ongoing in Comics
Even on a slightly slower chapter, nothing on the stands is doing what this book does.

Twelve volumes in, the miracle of Saga is that it can afford a slow chapter and still outclass almost everything around it.
The luxury of a quiet volume
Not every chapter needs to detonate. This one rebuilds, and the rebuilding is where the book has always been quietly best.
The verdict
Still the best ongoing in comics, even when it is catching its breath.
