When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in a sexy, subversive drama for adults. This specially priced volume collects the first arc of the smash hit series The Onion A.V. Club calls "the emotional epic Hollywood wishes it could make." - Goodreads

Reasons: Sexual Content, Profanity
According to the American Library Association, Saga has been challenged for being "anti-Family, nudity, offensive language, sexually explicit, and unsuited for age group."
According to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, "In 2013, Saga #12 was temporarily made unavailable in the Apple App Store due to a misinterpretation on comiXology’s part of Apple’s content policies — policies that in the same year led to the censorship of several other comics."
