Nearly three years since our last episode, and a thoroughly unforgivable nigh on seven years since the original recording, Diabolu Frank and special guest Token Fire Guy discuss the first thirty issues (or initial five trade paperbacks) of Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples’ sci-fi/fantasy series
Saga. For perspective, this talk took place in October of 2015, the same month Paper Girls launched, a series that concluded four years later, had a television series adaptation delayed by COVID, before finally being filmed and the first season released since we hit the stop button on this thing. It’s even about half a year out from the tenth anniversary of
Saga itself. Though indefensible, Frank did try to edit this episode several times over the years, initially overwhelmed by perfectionist leanings and a complicated narrative scheme that didn’t work out across a three hour recording, and then had that computer permanently crash, requiring recovery and re-editing. As the episode progresses, you’ll hear that fussiness go right out the window. Barack Hussein Obama was still the President of the United States of America and Hillary his heir apparent. It’s a podcast. It’s a time machine. And now…
Saga.
