Saga has been on a reunion tour of late, forgoing the series' usual forward push in lieu of catch-you-ups with members of the cast long missing. With last issue limited to the misadventures of journalists Doff and Upsher, issue #34 extends its net even further, Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples delivering a character rich affair filled with faces old and new. The resulting read is the equivalent of a single move on a chessboard, and, while not flashy, it does show a clear endgame down the line.
Having mostly caught up with the new status quo following Saga's most recent jump in time, Vaughan's latest spreads the narrative wealth across a host of ongoing storylines, or more specifically, the pairings that drive them. Hazel continues to take charge of her own agency, making her own choices and alliances, for better or worse. Marko and Alana reunite with allies of their own, and Upsher and Doff continue their own grudging partnership with the newly rejuvenated, slightly portly and definitely impaired The Will. For the most part Vaughan keeps these instances brisk, pointing each band in the direction they're looking to go even as he presents the difficulties that lie in their way.
