By its usual standards, Saga’s latest arc has been a relatively quiet affair, with Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples playing the long game in gently nudging their many freewheeling threads back together. Issue #35 doesn’t do much to veer from that formula, but it does offer its first results. Said events change the various status quos to certain and often dangerous degrees, ensuring that the arc’s upcoming finale will be one with plenty at stake.
Much like last issue, issue #35 is split threefold between Hazel, Marko and Alana, and The Will. At this point we’ve a clear idea how these three stories will eventually intersect, but that doesn’t stop writer Vaughan from adding further wrinkles to the unfolding narrative. Rather than force each thread in, writer Vaughan continues to push them out, giving each their own sense of urgency as the three groups continue to work towards their own means. It’s a heck of a juggling act, yet in Vaughan’s hands the pacing never feels off. His strong characterization again drives the read, as each and every action for the most part feels valid and earned. From Hazel’s plans of escape to Marko and Alana’s equally gripping plan to break in, there’s a wonderful synergy to the read that ensures that the sense of drama never dips.
