SAGA RETURNS - Image Comics August '16
Saga by Image Comis returns on August 31st. Anyone who isn't reading it already, I'd highly recommend it.

I'll also vouch for it. Like nothing else I've ever read.

I finally read Volume 7. This was the first arc that I waited until the trade paperback to read and man that was a gut punch to read all at once. Everything was so bleak.
Based on the cover and description of the issue 43 it looks like the next arc is going to have a Western vibe. Hopefully we get some more Ghus after being absent for Volume 7. |

I've been thinking about giving this a read, but it's been a bit pricey for me.

I hadn't seen the cover for #44 yet. Looks like we've got another time jump. Hazel looks ~3 years older. |

I sincerely hope you've checked them out, it's by far one of the best comic series I've ever read

New arc starts tomorrow which BKV compared to a spaghetti western. Issue 43 is only $0.25. Some comic book stores are even giving the issue away for free tomorrow.

That's a great cover.
I never could get into this series. I read the first trade twice - first time didn't grab me, so I gave it another try later - and the second. It's weird, because everyone else loves the hell out of it and I sometimes wonder what I missed when I read it.

You know while I do love Image's libraries its a huge pain in the ass that half of the stuff I follow takes breaks for a few months, I know I sound whiny but its kinda annoying reading Deadly Class and reach a cliffhanger to only find out that its going be on hiatus for 4 months. I mean I know quality takes time but its sort of annoying

It may just be different strokes. I mean, it's not like I think it's bad. It just does things that make me roll my eyes, which distracts from the emotional core of it, and I just never really connected with it. I don't know, maybe I'll give it one more try at some point.
I love Chew. It's probably my favorite Image series. I haven't finished it, though. I think I'm six trades in, but I didn't really have the cash to get the rest in a while, so I haven't nabbed the second half yet. Quote:

Hiatus can be really annoying but if they're regularly scheduled in order to keep them manageagle (like Saga's 6 months on, 3 months off schedule) then I don't mind. Much better than a series coming out every month of the year but then going on indefinite hiatus because the creators got burned out or behind or something. I think reading new comic series also helps with dealing with hiatuses

What did everyone think of Volume 8? There was some cool stuff but overall I thought it was the weakest arc so far. The standalone issue on The Will was my favorite issue of the arc - I think Ianthe could be a good villain (RIP Sweet Boy). |
