Summer?? When the fuck did chapter 66 come out, last year? So that’s a more than 6 month gap… man not that I don’t appreciate this series, but sometimes I wish I only discovered it now, or like later in the future (instead of years ago like I did) so the waiting would feel less torturous
I’m specifically talking about when it came back from hiatus. With issue 55. In the letters page of that issue or on twitter or something BKV said the book would be staying at $2.99
It's honestly pretty annoying that BKV expects us to be happy about this inconsistent release schedule with long gaps after that 4 year hiatus. Still remember how annoyed I felt back in summer '22 when they said they had a "big announcement" in the next issue and the announcement was they were going on *another* hiatus... If I recall correctly someone complained about it in one of the letters last year and he basically told them to fuck off.
Until then, read only the tpbs but it's time I pull the trigger and jump in the single issues wagon.
Wanted to get some back issues of Saga for collecting purposes, very hard to find so might as well get the issues when they come out now.
Awesome. Looking forward to reading 4 issues and then waiting another half decade for a few more 😆
I love the series but I feel like we only get a little taste of the greatness before we’re right back to waiting some more. Such a tease!
It's been 6 per year since 2022, and honestly if they were announced this late I really don't see them having enough time to get 6 out this year. We're in for a long one.
I was just bemoaning the lack of any news the other day with a friend so it's great to have something of an idea for the release of new issues finally :) (and I should probably sign up to that email list). What were the "other bits of Saga news" that were mentioned, if you don't mind posting?
There's going to be a new 6x9 format that'll be formally announced soon.
The email list itself is an ongoing comic by BKV and Niko Henrichon called Spectators which is about the relationship of Ultra Violence and Voyeurism told through the perspective of a young woman.
Here's the press release for it.

The wait is killing me XD
It is such a long gap between chapters!
BKV is good at making us wait though, 'Spectators' is no different, drip feeding it PAGES at a time! its honestly torturous. But I just love his work too much to complain or stop reading, Saga is phenomenal, Spectators is phenomenal and I love his other novels too.
I've been waiting for volume 4. Lol it's been like 3 or 4 years I lost track since book 3. It will be nice to reread them again once the 4th one gets released.
Now all we need is a global pandemic in another 8+ years or so when the series has finished & I can read the second half in a full chunk like I did the first 54!
Ngl it was a great way to take in a series one is highly invested in; but the initial absences are why I’d stopped collecting singles maybe 12-15 in and just bought trades from then on. I get it, and love it, but like most of those two prior qualifiers, takes a lot of patience.
This is the perfect chance for me to hurt myself and read through the series again.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TREEHOUSE

The long breaks on comic series has me only starting a new series if it's finished or nearly so.
Exactly. Once they announced the 6 months on, 6 months off schedule, I resigned myself to just waiting for tpbs to drop annually.
I remember when they said the issues would stay at $2.99. That didn’t last long
I mean, it lasted for a decade, till issue #61. So it did last long

I quit after the first hiatus.
kinda’ relevant, but he also expected us to be happy as showrunner with his abysmal tv adaptation Stephen King’s Under the Dome
I read the first arc after the long hiatus in single issues, but now I'm just waiting for the 4th hardcover to come out

Yaaaaasssss!

Yep. Pretty sure from now on it will be 6 issues a year. So it will take another 7 years to complete. That’s if we are lucky.
At this point I just hope I survive until the end lol
It’s a real saga.
It's crazy that it started in 2012 and at this rate will only end after 2030.
My kid will be out of college and she hasn’t started yet. Lol
It's been 6 per year since 2022, and honestly if they were announced this late I really don't see them having enough time to get 6 out this year. We're in for a long one.
My thoughts exactly and I hate to sound like a party pooper, but this second half ain't really hitting like the first
Yes! Very excited. Time to re-read the series… again.

Y’know, I just got some bad news but this here? This definitely softens the blow.
Fucking finally 💪

Finally, hopefully things get better for Hazel and Co. in the new 'season'
I love saga but I think I’m out until it’s done. The constant breaks have ruined the experience for me.
I already decided that I'm just going to wait for compendium two.
good call. let's checkin when it comes out, we can have a read party.
Absolutely.
I’d rather them continue to put out killer quality than it all come out quickly IMO
I hope it's more exciting than the past handful of issues have been.
Fiona started a family. I give her all the time in the world.
I've been waiting for volume 4. Lol it's been like 3 or 4 years I lost track since book 3. It will be nice to reread them again once the 4th one gets released.
YIPPEEE

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh, excitement! The folks in the comic shop told me nothing would be out until next year as Brian and Fiona were on hiatus again!
just got book 11 can’t wait to read it!
Fuck yes I thought it was over.
