Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' acclaimed series, Saga, continues to captivate audiences with its unique space fantasy narrative. With the series projected to run for 108 issues and currently standing at issue 72, it's an ideal time to dive into this epic tale. Whether you prefer digital or physical formats, here's how you can start reading Saga.
The best way to introduce yourself to Saga is by reading the first issue for free on Image Comics' website. This no-strings-attached option allows you to experience Fiona Staples' stunning artwork and decide if the series is right for you.
Hoopla offers the entire available run of Saga for free, but you'll need a library card linked to your account. Availability depends on your local library's stock, so this option may vary by location. Nonetheless, Hoopla remains one of the best platforms for free comic reading.
ComiXology Unlimited, available through Amazon, is a top choice for digital comic reading. Start with the free 30-day trial to access the Saga Volume 1 collection (issues 1-6). After catching up, you can buy new issues as they are released each month.
GlobalComix is a newer platform focused on creators, offering Saga among its titles. While its selection is smaller, it's a free and viable option for reading this series.
For those who prefer physical copies, Saga is available in multiple formats. You can purchase trade paperbacks up to Volume 11, with Volume 12 set to release on May 13. Alternatively, the Saga: Compendium 1 collects issues 1-54 and is often available at a discount on Amazon.
