The combination of the two is potent, resulting in a gripping and page-turning experience. Vaughan's writing is relaxed and confident (some of the misjudgements in tone that plagued early Y are here absent) and Staples' artwork is brimming with character and colour. Both had reasonable careers before Saga, but it does feel like this is the project that both had been waiting for, something to take both their careers to the next level.
