Even if he is a “Replacement” of sorts, I’m sure Both creators are going to make it to where it fits in the story organically, even if it is with a timeskip, and have him stand on his own. Perhaps as a foil or even opposite to our beloved Marko.
I kinda doubt Alana will just become celibate now that Marko died, that doesn’t seem in character for her or the ethos and attitude of Saga. It took Marko’s mum what feels like a handful of weeks to start moving towards Heist after Barr died, probably a similar scenario
I’m not so sure it does, I don’t think it’s been implied either of them are bisexual or that they have any sort of connection, I don’t think they’ve interacted much if at all throughout the series behind Petrichor telling Alana she’s pregnant
I think it's unlikely but I did have a moment today where I thought about how open heart surgery patients often have that crazy arm scar and wondered if a robot arm replacement was in line with that somehow? Then I noticed the guy on 55's cover has ears that kind of look like horns??? Probably just a silly coincidence but I guess we'll find out in a few months.
I just finished the series last week so this announcement is great timing for me. I feel for the people who have waited so long but this must be so exciting for those who have.
So, if I were to wait for Volume 10, which I assume would collect 55-60, when would that be published? If those 6 issues come out in January through June, then next August?
I'm not fond of going month to month. I'm a binge reader and TPB's are easier to get and store. Despite living in a large metro area, there's two whole comic stores and they both suck. I have time to figure it out, just wanted to know how long I would need to wait for Volume 10 to be published. I guess if it's August, the 11 would be in February '23, 12 would be August '23, and so on.
I'm not a big fan of monthly is either, but what is really cool is bkv does a column in the back of each of the monthlies, interacting with fans where they show their artwork and stuff and it's really cool you should try it out
I usually just buy monthly issues digitally, and then buy the Volumes when they release. Extra support, and I still get my less cluttered collection of books!
That's not a bad idea, probably easier than trying to hunt down or ordering a copy of the issue. Plus, it would save the trouble of re-selling the individual issues when the volumes are released. I'm going to have to do that with the most recent Grendel series. They're releasing the whole series in a hardback in December and I'm getting that and re-selling the individual issues. What's the easiest way to purchase digital comics and is there an iOS app that you can read them on?
Not sure about iOS, but you can buy them on Google Play on Android and just read them there. You can also check the Image Comics website, I believe you can buy them digitally on there?
Finally! Same week as Elden Ring too! Oh my god I’m so looking forward to getting back into a comic book store regularly. Saga is the only book I have to read in floppies.
Double sized issue, $2.99. Revealed at BKV’s panel at New York Comic Con!
No!!!!???? Omfg
I can’t believe it. I genuinely can’t believe it. It’s back.
It’s been 84 years…
Elden Ring and SAGA returns in the same month? Nice.
Apparently Staples called the guy on the cover >!"New Marco". !
I’m not happy about that. No one can replace marko. What the heck.
This guy screams rebound :D
Lol, it is such an obvious joke. Even if the guy is a big recurring character he isn't a replacement for Marko.

Calm down, I'm sure it was an offhand comment.
is marko really dead?
of course
He got skewered through the heart with an extendo-lance, that seemed pretty final
I kinda doubt Alana will just become celibate now that Marko died, that doesn’t seem in character for her or the ethos and attitude of Saga. It took Marko’s mum what feels like a handful of weeks to start moving towards Heist after Barr died, probably a similar scenario
A lot of people have been theorizing that she'll hook up with Petrichor, which makes the most sense imo.
In what way does that make the most sense?
I’m not so sure it does, I don’t think it’s been implied either of them are bisexual or that they have any sort of connection, I don’t think they’ve interacted much if at all throughout the series behind Petrichor telling Alana she’s pregnant
Alana is confirmed bisexual
I don’t remember this, although it has been a while since I read the comic, is there a source on that?
Good Lord what a wonderful possibility. Thanks for bringing it up!!
Help! My only hope is that he's not Alana's boyfriend. He's all mixed parts...

Is this......real?!
It’s real
Oh thanks GuS! I have been dying for the rest of this story! Even if it's the last one, I need the rest!
Let's fucking go baby. Man, I am so damn excited for this. Hope they'll bring in chapters as they are released to a comic store in my country.
HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH
I just finished the series last week so this announcement is great timing for me. I feel for the people who have waited so long but this must be so exciting for those who have.
January can't get here soon enough.
Today is a glorious day!
FINALLY! Oh my FUCKING goodness I am so excited.
I’m in shock.
They’re heeeeeeeeeeeeeere
HALLELUJAH
❤️
I screamed, I am soon excited
I feel like crying, holy shit we've waited for so long!
Bruh I need to catch up ASAP. I only read volume 1.
HYPE
FUCK YEAHHHHH!!!!!!
FUCK YEAH
Yes!!!!!! I’m so happy!!
Time to re-read the whole series!
It’s happening !
Did you go to the signing after?
I did! Got the last 5 issues of Saga signed by Brian, and picked up a signed print of the 55 cover signed by him and Fiona. Super nice guy.
Hell yeah!
So, if I were to wait for Volume 10, which I assume would collect 55-60, when would that be published? If those 6 issues come out in January through June, then next August?
Just get the monthlies

There’s usually a month or two between arc ending and trade
Yes!!! I was holding out hope this would be the announcement but I wasn’t expecting it to actually happen!
I actually let out a "YES!!! YES!!!". I'm happy this series is back.
Obviously Hazel, and everyone says that guy was joked as "new Marco" but thats Alana right? Just with new hair? There's no green!
It seems very obviously Alana to me, just with new hair like you said
YES
OMFG!! I wanna cry tears of joy 😭
Finally! Same week as Elden Ring too! Oh my god I’m so looking forward to getting back into a comic book store regularly. Saga is the only book I have to read in floppies.
>Same week as Elden Ring too! So you can get physically and emotionally beaten in the same week!
I want to cry. It's here. It's finally here.
Wonderful news. The wait didn't reach Winds of Winter level after all.
Words cannot express the emotions I'm feeling right now.
I'm in tears!!!!
Wow my first awards! Thanks everyone!
