“ Saga launched at Image during the company’s 20th anniversary in 2012, so it seems more than fitting that the series is returning to shops just in time for our 30th anniversary next year,” said Image’s chief creative office and publisher, Eric Stephenson, in a statement. 55 will be a double-length issue - 44 pages of story for the regular $2.99 price point - without gimmick variant covers or renumbering. The team is now ready to tackle another 54 issues, which will comprise the back half of a story that is envisioned as a 108-issue saga. Staples told Entertainment Weekly she was suffering from mild burnout while also experiencing “ a lot of loss and change in my life.” Vaughan said the duo had always planned to “regroup and take a breath,” although it’s unclear if it was intended to ever be this long. That fan base was surprised when Vaughan and Staples announced a hiatus in summer 2018, ending the comic on a cliffhanger featuring the death of a major character. The comic ran 54 issues from 2012 to 2018, winning numerous Eisner and Harvey Awards, selling 7 million copies to date across single-issue, trade paperback, compendium, hardcover and digital editions, and breaking out of the confines of the comic shop by gaining a loyal and vocal crossover fan base.
