Created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Fiona Staples, published by Image Comics, Saga is an epic space opera/fantasy comic book series heavily influenced by Star Wars.
The story of Saga started as a depiction of two lovers from long-warring extraterrestrial races, Alana and Marko, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their newborn daughter, Hazel, who occasionally narrates the series. Simply put, It is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds.
Wildly popular, the Saga series launched in 2012 will span 108 issues. After the first 54 issues, the series went on hiatus from July 2018 to January 2022.
