Not Marvel or DC but how is that Saga comic really? I keep seeing it in book stores, it's pretty expensive but the reviews seem good. I was gonna pull the trigger but I wanna know how the brehs feel about it. :mjgrin:

I finally read the first eighteen issues last month.

It was great, and a very quick read, but I'm not in any hurry to finish it because it doesn't seem like it's coming back any time soon. :francis:

Yep. It went on hiatus in June 2018 with issue 54, and it's supposed to end at issue 108.

Image has released their solicits through May, and there's been no mention of its return. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until SDCC or even NYCC, if they're even still on. :francis:

Damn thats a long hiatus... wasn't Image banking on that series too, since it was one of the more popular comics.


Forgot all about nycc/sdcc. :damn:

Think they wait until mid-april before they announce anything cancelled

I just got an email this morning from a local con scheduled in June that their tickets are on sale.

Obviously it's nowhere near as big as NYCC, ECCC, or SDCC, but I'm glad they're still going on as scheduled.

I read Strange Academy and I absolutely loved it. It reminds me a lot of X-Men and sinced I dropped X-Men a few months ago (not a fan at all of what Hickman's doing with them), this book fills that void left. In really digging the at and character designs. After only 1 issue, Strange Academy had become my most anticipated Marvel book other than Daredevil.

I honestly didn't read it with the rest of my stash on Wednesday because I was disappointed by how King's Batman run eventually ended and thought Heroes in Crisis was absolute garbage.
But I sat down and read it after work last night and immediately remembered why I liked King so much.
Dude should really stick to doing stuff like this for the rest of his career and leave being the writer of in-continuity comics alone.
I bought Strange based off what people were saying about Mister Miracle.
Read Mister Miracle:wow:

I got high hopes for Strange Adventures. The art is fantastic and I like the dual narrative.
