Acclaimed Sci-Fi Comic SAGA's Return Date Officially Confirmed

Summary Saga #67, returning on July 31, will kick off a new story arc for Hazel, taking her on her most important adventure yet.

Just like Walking Dead, Saga's unpredictable story has resulted in the loss of beloved characters in the deadly Landfall/Wreath war.

The ambitious series continues to captivate readers with heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, introducing new characters seamlessly.

Iconic sci-fi series Saga is making a major return, as issue #67 heads for shelves and sees protagonist Hazel on the "most important adventure of her young life." Beloved by comic fans, Saga tells the story of Hazel - a child caught up in a galactic conflagration between her mother and father's warring worlds. Saga began with Hazel's birth and now returns for its twelfth season to follow the twelve-year-old Hazel.

In recent solicits from Image Comics, it was confirmed that Saga #67 is coming back on July 31. The issue will begin a new story arc and boasts an incredibly important new quest for Hazel. Given that past adventures have resulted in the deaths of some of her closest friends and allies, that's a major claim for the comic to make.

Saga #67 Release Date: July 31, 2024 Writer: Brian K. Vaughan Artists: Fiona Staples Cover Artist: Fiona Staples SAGA returns for its epic 12th season as 12-year-old Hazel embarks on the most important adventure of her young life.

Saga is famous for its incredibly imaginative galaxy, its many breakout characters, and its sex-positive approach to the traditional space opera. Like Walking Dead, it's a comic where no-one is safe - the war between Landfall and Wreath is deadly and unpredictable, costing the lives of many of the comic's main characters (even those who readers adore.) Narrated by an adult Hazel, the story sees her family pursued by the interests behind the Landfall/Wreath war, who fear that Hazel could become a symbol of unity and help bring an end to the profitable conflict.
