Saga #55

Writer: Brian K. Vaughan Artist: Fiona Staples Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: January 26, 2022

NEW STORY ARC

At long last, Hazel and her star-crossed family are finally back and here to kick off a NEW STORY ARC! So, where the hell have they been? As thanks for fans' endless patience, the SAGA team is proud to return with a double-length issue-44 pages of story for the regular $2.99 price point-without variant covers or gimmicky renumbering. Just more pulse-pounding adventure, heart-wrenching character drama, and gloriously graphic sex and violence, as SAGA begins the second half the series and the most epic chapter yet!

The SAGA series has sold over 6.8 million copies to date across all formats, has been translated into 20 languages, and has garnered multiple Eisner and Harvey Awards, plus a Hugo Award, British Fantasy Award, Goodreads Choice Award, Shuster Award, Inkwell Award, Ringo Award, and more. It has been featured in such mainstream media outlets as TIME, Entertainment Weekly, The Atlantic, NPR, and beyond, and has become a pop culture phenomenon.

    Lying Cat is back! And yes, he/she/it made me grin loudly again!

    When great series return to the fold, they're more often then not somewhat disenchanting... but no, not Saga! After the shock ending in #54, I was very afraid B.K.V. had written himself into a corner (after all, most of us LIKED Marko!) But instead, three years later, life had positively carried on as life often does, with Hazel having loads of fun with her new si--- (oops, almost spoilered something here!), and the little shocks we've grown used to might have been a tiny bit toned down, but after an hiatus that's really not a bad thing... they still were unexpected as ever, and the tiny dose of muting actually made them better and ...shockier? (is that a word?)

    Hey, it was SO good, it even made me do this little review! (Um... did I mention yet that Lying Cat is back? And I still want one more than ever! :D :P )

    Conclusion: Great goin' guys & gals! It shone brightly again, and as well as we all hoped for!
