Brian K. Vaughan has revealed via Instagram Saga will return after a brief hiatus. The last issue dropped into comic shops back in September 2023, so it’s nice to see it’ll be back for the next story arc. Vaughan called it the “12th season” and revealed Hazel is now 12 years old and embarking on “the most important adventure of her young life.
Saga had its longest hiatus, starting in January 2018 and finally returning in January 2022. Since then, there have been shorter gaps between issues, which allows Staples to draw every single issue without filling in artists.

When it was announced to return in January 2022, Vaughan said, “Other than my own family, collaborating with Fiona Staples on Saga is the most important thing in my life, so I can’t thank readers and retailers enough for their patience.” 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.”
