The comic was described in solicitations as ' Star Wars meets Game of Thrones', and by critics as evocative of both science fiction and fantasy epics such as The Lord of the Rings and classic works like Romeo and Juliet.

It depicts a husband and wife, Alana and Marko, from long-warring extraterrestrial races, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their daughter, Hazel, who is born in the beginning of the series, and who occasionally narrates the series as an unseen adult. The series is based on ideas Vaughan conceived both as a child and as a parent. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples, published monthly by the American company Image Comics. 26, 2022.Saga is an epic space opera/ fantasy comic book series written by Brian K.

Saga #55 will be an extra-long issue - 44 pages rather than the usual 22 - for the same price. Image Comics also shared a first look at the long-awaited Saga #55: The cover, featuring the familiar young character of Hazel (the book’s narrator) and two new adult faces. “I think our next 54 issues will be even more shocking, strange, and spectacular than the first 54, so we can’t wait to be back on the shelves at your local comic shop soon.” “I can’t thank readers and retailers enough for their patience,” Vaughan said via news release. In classic Saga style, despite knowing the series would be on pause for years, Saga #54 still ended with a sudden and devastating character death. But with Saga #54, published in July of 2018, Vaughan said the series had hit its middle point, and would be on indefinite hold so that he and Staples could rest and focus on other projects. Saga was a perennial bestseller in comic shops and bookstores from the moment it hit stands in March 2012. The next arc is already going places I never imagined.” “I’ve really missed connecting with readers through the pages of Saga,” Staples said via news release, “so I’m thrilled to roll up my sleeves and dive into this world again. Saga - their heart-wrenching, twist-filled, sexy, violent, operatic space epic - will return to publication after a lengthy hiatus in 2022. Vaughan, together with artist Fiona Staples, made a long-awaited announcement today at Vaughan’s spotlight panel at the 2021 New York Comic Con.
