3) Here it is, get ready for the hate mail. Y the last man. I like Saga, a lot. I bought the deluxe edition and love it. So I thought I would give some other Vaughan stuff a try. After the first ten issues in trade one, I am disapointed in the story. Perhaps the hype has created an unreasonable expectation for me to strive or I just don't care for that story, regardless, I did not like the first trade. The thrid trade was in the bargin bin on Amazon.jp for 500 yen. That is crazy cheap. So I had to buy it. Now I am commited to buying the seires and perhaps my opinion will change when it is all said and done. We shall see. I can understand being disappointed. I have heard a lot of people praise that book, and snagged the first trade on Comixology a while back. It was not bad but it didn't grab me enough that I felt a huge need to go get the rest of them, so you're not alone not loving it I went back and read some of this a few months ago and I think the big problem with Y is that it aged very badly. I think if people reading it now had read it when it came out, or shortly thereafter, they would have liked it significantly more. Conversely people who loved it (like myself) earlier, might not be as fond of it now.

Its ok to not like something! I personally can not get into Saga. I got one of those big cheap digital image humble bundles and it came with 1-18 of saga. I just can't get into it. Its definitley crazy, but i don't understand the praise. If people like it, thats all that matters. I just can't get into it. I think it's the dialogue, it often makes me cringe at how hard it tries. Thats just my opinion.
Heres some pleasent suprises for me.
DC Doomed, Midnighter and Martian manhunter.............. I LOVED all three of these books! The biggest suprise was doomed, i had no clue what this was supposed to be but im captivated by it. I can dig it.

Disappointment for me is Watchmen, the book, I read it later and just didn't understand the praise. I'm also on the opposite end of the political spectrum from the Reagan hate. Surprise? The new Thor, Thor is my favorite comic book character, while I wasn't pissed when I heard Jason was turning him to her, I was hesitant. It's my favorite character!!!!!! Why not make Hulk a girl, or Cap, or anybody!!!! But I've been everywhere from pleasantly surprised to down right happy (w/ the reveal).. Do I want my God of Thunder back? Absolutely, but I'm enjoying the ride right now
