Graphic novels can be amazing for this! 'Saga' is the obvious recommendation—a sweeping, operatic, and deeply human space epic about a couple from warring worlds and their daughter. The art is stunning, something to pore over together. The themes of family, war, and perseverance are heavy but beautifully handled. Be warned: it’s explicit in violence and sexuality, so make sure you’re both comfortable. The cliffhangers are brutal, leading to immediate post-reading debriefs. It’s a story that makes you hold each other a little tighter. Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples create a world you’ll both want to get lost in.
