Saga is, quite basically, Romeo & Juliet in Space, and his "hero", Marko, is, more or less, Yorick from Y: the Last Man. But Vaughan still continuously surprises, excites, and entertains. His whip-smart quips and colorful characters are not all that he's good for; this book has a deep well of emotion running through it. The best scene from Saga was a simple scene when Marko is reminiscing about his now-dead father, remembering when he taught Marko how to fly an alien-creature (you know...like riding a bike). Just a perfectly written sequence.
Besides Saga, Vaughan launched a new book, The Private Eye, that takes place in a future where people wear masks and the internet is dead and gone for good reasons.
Everything Vaughan writes is super entertaining, emotional, humorous, action-packed, visceral, engaging, and fun. Hell, he even writes one of the best letters columns in the business.
