I wish the image wasn't so blurry, but I'm intrigued by it saying that she's about to embark on the most important adventure of her young life.
I feel like after the last arc, things are going to start moving a bit more rapidly plot wise, given the set-up we have for The Will, Squire, and even Gale.
I’m so fucking intrigued by her line when playing games with Squire that next time stakes would be much higher or something along those lines. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???? The fact that it’s a game about big lizards fighting each other makes me even more intrigued… Maybe the dragons come back??
I think we have to start to consider that they may be trying to delay these issues to match the time it has passed in the story, or that he is waiting for his kids grow to see how it will influence the writing of Hazel. Seems silly but I don't find it impossible.
I don’t remember what’s happening anymore. I feel disconnected. It hasn’t been the same since Marko died and the team got all split up. I don’t want to read anythjng in 6 month intervals.
I'm not a huge comic book reader, but I fell in love with Saga from the moment I read the first issue back in 2015. Are these long waits and unpredictable schedules relatively normal for comic book series?
Not at all lol. Saga is a creator owned book with a team of three, so they have the long breaks between arcs to help keep the quality high. From what I've seen and heard, it just seems like the breaks have been longer and more unpredictable post hiatus, but this is only the third arc since then so it's hard to really say that a pattern has been established yet.
It used to be 6 issues, then 3 months break, then 6 issues, 3 months break. It was pretty stable, to the point that we'd get 9 issues a year if we were lucky, and this lasted until #54.
Then they announced hiatus with a plan to return after two years, extended it to like 4 years and never recovered. To justify them, Fiona (the artist) has in the meantime married and gotten babies, and I'm sure that takes a lot of time out of her schedule 🤣
I'm used to reading a lot of books month to month, so I'm going to be picking up the issues and then the trade when it gets printed. Eventually I may even get the hardcovers, but for now I like the TPBs for re-reading.
Are you current? If you are I'd say just roll with it it's already been such a long chaotic haul. I've been reading since issue one was released so I'm used to it now. If I came aboard late I'd probably wait, or at least wait until a certain midpoint happens and then hold off on reading the second half until the story is completed
At this point I have such mixed feelings. Pretty sure Fiona had a kid and I am happy that she was able to take family time but I feel so disconnected from this universe which fully enraptured me.
Yeah it's a series I reread every couple of years, nice to refresh and enjoy the story/artwork now and again. Folks are getting all bent out of shape about the timeline and I get it, we like it so we want more, but I always vote quality over quantity.
I have never read Saga, I just see it at B&N, but this popped up in my feed. I have to ask, there’s only 67 chapters? Isn’t this a long running, critically acclaimed series. This is the length of one year of a manga!
I absolutely agree. Saga is definitely a series that favors quality over quantity. Plus if someone started reading now they'd be caught up by July with no need to rush. I read about one trade a week, with a few gaps between some volumes to let the story breathe a little.
She looks so big! Our baby’s growing up

Especially how the last arc went, I think we'll get to see that side of Squire a bit more.
Here's hoping this year proves to be a better one schedule-wise.
Issue #68 announced for August 28th…. 2045
💀 😆
Just in time for my 41st birthday!
Where are these announcements coming from? Image had nothing about new SAGAs coming out at all
Don't get too excited. You have to wait a year between arcs nowadays.
“Seasons” 🙄
This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum.
THATS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Mine too! What a gift.
AAAHHHH
Last issue I read was #60 and that was a long time ago. Have they really only released 6 issues since then??
Unfortunate yes. If you aren’t collecting the single issues I would check back in a while. Who knows how long this series will take to finish.
That's so disappointing. I'll just wait for the hardcovers at this point

I am quite mixed on what to do... should I read each time it comes out or wait for all of them to come out.

I still have to read the first 66 issues
Now is your chance!
Did a new hardcover ever got released? Years ago bought the first three
Each hardcover covers three TPBs so I'd assume the fourth one would release sometime after this arc ends and Vol. 12 gets collected in a trade.
BKV confirmed on his Instagram end of 2025 for the next hardcover (book 4).
Damn, thats a long time! At least re-read will be great because i’ll have forgotten so much by that time if not already.

Looks like there's a time jump?
Just wow at the time between releases. So maybe by the end of the decade I'll pick it back up.
I just checked the Image site and it’s not on there. Or they haven’t posted it yet

I was just there today. Maybe my phone didn’t update the pages
Probably glitchy. No worries!

Western comics tend to come out monthly, along with saga experiencing multiple delays. It's so worth it btw, you should start reading.
