Saga #61: Acclaimed series celebrates 7 Million Copies Sold and New Upcoming Arc

Image Comics has announced that the acclaimed series Saga has reached another milestone after having sold seven million copies to date across all its different formats including single-issues and collected issues. The series from Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples remains one of the most impactful comic book series to date and looks to continue its epic journey with a new arc that begins with Saga #61. 

Image Comics teased what the upcoming arc will entail, saying: 

“In the upcoming Saga #61, readers are treated to another epic season of emotional adventures and shocking surprises for Hazel and her star-crossed family. It will pick up where the recent Saga, Vol. 10 trade paperback release (collecting Saga #55-60) left off”

“We’re back! No spoilers, but Fiona and I are extremely excited about some of the familiar faces returning in this shocking new ‘season’ of Saga,” said Vaughan. “Times might be tough for Hazel and her family, but the best is yet to come.”

Saga is described as a space opera that created one of the most unique and popular fantasy worlds still celebrated by comic fans today. It was first published in 2012 and went on hiatus at the midpoint of the series in 2018 until it returned in January of this year and resumed from issues #54-#60.

In the series, we meet Alana and Marko. Start crossed lovers from warring races who flee from the war with their unborn child and then look to care for Hazel who becomes the occasional narrator of the series. 

Saga #61 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on January 24, 2023.
