Tried reading Saga in single issues instead of trades and I think the trades are better
I picked up the first 12 issues of Saga one at a time at my local shop in Sacramento over about 3 months, mostly to see if the monthly wait added anything to the story. It did not. Having a month between chapters broke up the flow so much that I kept forgetting side characters, and I ended up flipping back to remember who was who. When I read the same 12 issues in two sittings in the trade, the story hit way harder. I get that people love the monthly comic shop trip and I do too, but for a dense story like this the trade wins for me. Curious if anyone here actually prefers the month to month pace on a book like this, or if most of you wait for the collected volume.
