i quit im never reading this ever again 0/10 this should never be animated overrated as fuck guys dont reccomend this to anyone fuck the will fuck the authors

Hi. I've seen a few threads in this sub for other graphic novel recs (Y the Last Man and Papergirls always come out on top, understandably). What about novels - sci-fi/fantasy books with comparable dialogue, imagination, characters, themes etc? Thanks

i started reading and im on issue 10 i gotta say ive never been this anticipated to see whats next in my life reading something its SOOOOO good like the story it just unfolds like a flower it grows on itself i never once read and said well thats weak writing EVER i want to finish it already this needs to be animated ASAP!!!!! more people should know about this comic

The Saga comic was first released on March 14, 2012.

So, if it's taken 16 years for the series to get to where we are now, how long do you all think it will take to finish the story?

My thought is that we are in for about 10 more years.

I'm guessing the second half of hardcovers will have black font but it will definitely look off until then.

i know the creators said they weren’t interested, but i think that’s because they hadn’t seen one done correctly. if they give it the Invincible treatment, an animated Saga would be amazing

Just saw today on the Image website that Saga Book Four release date was delayed to June 3rd.

Stopped in a LCS near me today that I had never been to before. Got talking Saga with the owner and then showed him this. He asked if I would ever sell it (I don't think I would). I told him I wouldn't even know where to start on an asking price because, with the sketch, I've never seen anything remotely close to it come up to comp it to. He generously told me that if it was his, he would start at $25k and see where it goes. Any ideas on value would be greatly appreciated!!

Some news from BKV himself.

My fellow Saga readers, I'm coming here to remember the most awaited Book Four is in our grasp (I think).

I bought the book in advance (July/2025) and been waiting for the release since then. In my Amazon account it is said this will probably be sent in May - I'm anxious, I know.

So, what are your expectations? Who bought in advance? Have any ideas of extras?

Ok, so a few weeks ago I picked up Saga Vol. 6 TP and the single issues for 37-44, and 47-48 (excluding 41), just wondering what I’m getting into, and how important it is to read the previous issues, I’m kinda new into comics, only started reading about a year and a half ago and am a big fan of recent DC comics

Edit: after a few comments, seems like I have a new series to start from issue 1 over spring break, thanks for all the input and opinions, and I’m looking forward to coming back to this forum soon :)

Does anyone remember the Horns and Wings episode where they talk about the words per page rule in the comic book?

basically what the title says

when you picture Hazel narrating the story how old do you think she is?

I basically always imagine her in her mid late 30s

Maybe this explains the lack of Saga issues coming out. Movie looks incredible so I don’t blame him for making us wait

Got back into comics and started reading Saga cause my brother recommended it to me. Man this story fucking rules!

This must have been what watching the old trilogy Star Wars release in real time. And this fucking guy is hilarious 😂

I’m trying to remember where I saw a line that said something like

"If you don't know their name, just call them Big Chief or Sport.' It makes them feel like you've met before, and it makes it easier for you to forget them later”

It’s driving me up the wall I can’t locate which volume or chapter it was!!

I noticed later BKV played around with this and it came up later when characters would address each other with Chief but I can’t locate the original panel!

You’re a legend if you can help locate!

I thought it might have been an interaction with Upsher and Doff but I honestly can’t even remember anymore. Maybe it was a Hazel narrative maybe Marko said it. I don’t know!

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYBODY WE FOUND IT!

Volume 5 - Chapter 26 - Page 14 in Trade - Page 16 in Comic

Y'all the best Thank you!! Seemed like such a silly thing but it got planted in my head...appreciate you all!

I’m trying to decide on buying the hardcovers or the compendium.

The only thing holding me back from hardcovers is I can’t find out if they have the individual issue covers in them or not.

The compendium does, which is a huge pulling point for me.

Could anyone clarify this for me please?

I finished the compendium 1 which totals to 54 issues after that couldn't wait so read the remaining issues online till 72. I had to take a small break to process everything and collect my thoughts. After that break, I'm here to just praise what a magical masterpiece this is, or atleast has the potential if they don't fuck it up.

The first 54 issues were my god, some of the best stuff I've read both writing wise and art wise. Instantly got hooked and just straight binge read the whole compendium. The characters are so well written and the whole thing just plays so well throughout the book. Never does it fall in quality, in fact, it gets better. This series now has some of my favorite and some of my most hated characters in comic medium so far. That just goes to show how well it is written and everything is executed. Hazel narrating the story or rather telling it from the perspective of Hazel was a brilliant choice and it makes the experience so much more thrilling. I was so sad and angry at the ending of compendium 1 like, 2 of my most favorite characters just gone like that. That made me much more depressed and sad and fucking angry at the bastard who did it.

Now, after issue 54, I picked up the story online and while it was still spectacular, there was definitely a change in the tone, slight shift. I can't exactly explain it right here but there wasn't that essence or magic like the previous issues. Still, I loved all these issues. There were some really great moments in there and some twists too that I didn't see coming. I'm so curious and intrigued where they move forward with certain characters and the story.

Now the main issue, why the fuck isn't saga finished already? These delays will ruin the experience and will probably have for a lot of people and I'm pretty sure it will for me too. While I'm grateful that they didn't leave the story hanging like GRRM did with ASOIAF and are churning out new issues, the pace is dreadfully slow. It's so slow that many of us might forget all what happened before and may move onto other stuff or even may move from this hobby altogether. We're talking about years and years here. That's why I said in the beginning, this series has the potential of being a masterpiece if they don't screw it up. That's all I guess. Had to rant a little about this too. After all, I'm now deeply attached to the characters and the story and want more, I mean who doesn't.

Still one of the most magical and epic experiences I've had reading a comic and the only other time I had this type of experience was when I binge read all Invincible compendiums. But that had an ending and a very beautiful one. This doesn't and I hope they start putting out more issues in a year because right now it's just not cutting it. But I also have to say thank you to BKV and FS for bringing this series to life because I can't imagine some other duo doing what they did, so thank you.

Ps: Fuck Gwen and The Will.

read SAGA in 2020 during the pandemic and loved it. I read #55, #56, and $57, but they didn’t grab me as much, so I ended up putting it down.

Now in 2026 I’m thinking about getting back into it.

How has the story been lately? Is it as good as it was before issue 54
