By Zack Quaintance — If you’ve paid attention to this website and its Twitter feed at all over the past week, you are well aware that Saga is back and that I am excited about this. I have reviewed Saga #55, and I have also written about the three ways to read Saga in print. If you know, you know (I mean, obviously), but also, maybe you don’t know. Maybe you are a Saga neophyte who has had their interest piqued and is now searching for a way in. Well friend, you are in look. This week’s list of best comiXology sales is Saga, Saga, Saga.

You can find the various ways to read Saga on-sale digitally right now through Feb. 7. So check them out, pick a favorite, and dive in. Oh, and we also have two other picks for folks looking to catch up with Love and Rockets…enjoy!

Best comiXology Sales: Saga, Saga, Saga

Saga: Compendium One
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Fiona Staples
Letterer: Fonografiks
Publisher: Image Comics
THE ULTIMATE BINGE-READ! Collecting the first nine volumes of the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series into one massive paperback, this compendium tells the entire story (so far!) of a girl named Hazel and her star-crossed parents. Features 1,400 pages of gorgeously graphic full-color artwork, including a new cover from Eisner Award-winning SAGA co-creator FIONA STAPLES. Collects SAGA #1-54
Why It’s Cool: Put simply, this is the single most cost efficient way to read Saga in any medium. You can get the entire series to date (excluding this week’s new issue) on your tablet for $23.99. That’s roughly 45 cents per issue.
Price: $23.99
Buy It Here: Saga - Compendium One

Saga: Book One - Saga: Book Three
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Fiona Staples
Letterer: Fonografiks
Publisher: Image Comics
Collecting the first 18 issues of the smash-hit series, this massive edition features a striking new cover, as well as special extras, including never-before-seen sketches, script pages, and a roundtable discussion with the creators about how SAGA is really made. Altogether, this deluxe edition contains over 500 pages!
Why It’s Cool: This set of three oversized books will cost more than the compendium above, but you get more for that money, namely the biggest set of Saga extras and backmatter anywhere. In these books, you can find process material, original sketches, Saga artwork by other artists, roundtable discussions about the book’s creation, and more. It’s about $60 for the whole series via these volumes, but they all have material you won’t find anywhere else.
Price: $19.99 each, or $59.97 for all three volumes
Buy Them Here: Saga - Book One; Saga - Book Two; and Saga - Book Three

Saga, Vol. 1 - Saga, Vol. 9
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Fiona Staples
Letterer: Fonografiks
Publisher: Image Comics
Y: THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN returns to comics with red-hot artist FIONA STAPLES for an all-new ONGOING SERIES! Star Wars-style action collides with Game of Thrones-esque drama in this original sci-fi/fantasy epic for mature readers, as new parents Marko and Alana risk everything to raise their child amidst a never-ending galactic war.
Why It’s Cool: Honestly, at this point this is the least cost-efficient way to read Saga, given it’s more than the compendium and it comes with less material than the deluxe edition books. However, if you’re just wanting to try it out or maybe re-read certain portions of the story (the most recent, Vol. 9 for example), this is another way to go. If only these volumes had the excellent letter page material you find the individual issues, but I digress…
Price: $3.99 for Vol. 1 and $5.99 for the other 8 volumes
Buy Them Here: Saga, Vol. 1; Saga, Vol. 2; Saga, Vol. 3; Saga, Vol. 4; Saga, Vol. 5; Saga, Vol. 6; Saga, Vol. 7; Saga, Vol. 8; and Saga, Vol. 9

Is This How You See Me?
Writer/Artist: Jaime Hernandez
Publisher: Fantagraphics
Maggie and Hopey leave their significant others at home and take a weekend road trip to go to a punk scene reunion in their old neighborhood. Threaded throughout are flashbacks to 1979, during the formative stages in their lifelong relationship, as the perceived invincibility of youth is juxtaposed against all of the love, heartbreak, and self-awareness that comes with lives actually lived. Serialized over the past four years in Love and Rockets: New Stories and the new comic book series, Is This How You See Me? collects Hernandez’s unsentimental, long-form masterpiece together for the first time.
Why It’s Cool: Speaking of catching up on things, some of Jaime Hernandez’s most-recent Locas stories from Love and Rockets are available digitally on sale now.
Price: $6.99

Maria M.
Writer/Artist: Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Fantagraphics
This brutal, original crime thriller tells the story of femme fatale Maria M., whose life south of the border is a sordid tale of sex, drugs, violence, and power. When she comes to America for a better life, she marries a drug kingpin, whose son learns Maria’s darkest secret, leading to the most violent gangland bloodbath in organized crime history. Maria M. collects 2013’s Maria M. Book One (now out of print), and the never-before-published Book Two, presenting the complete graphic novel for the first time.
Why It’s Cool: Similar to the book above, this is one of Gilbert Hernandez’s most recent additions to his own work on Love and Rockets, but it also features some material that has gone out of print. When taken as a whole, this one is a complete graphic novel story, one you can easily pick up even if you’ve never read any other Love and Rockets.
Price: $10.49
