Will Dark Horse Saga 9 happen?

Post by Casey Burns »

Just curious if anyone has any insider info on if/when Dark Horse might publish Saga volume 9.
I know at one point Stan said they were planning on doing it, but some time has passed since he said that, and now I'm wondering if that content might get collected in a different format.

Hopefully something is still in the works. Dark Horse seems to be having a bad year in more ways than one, but I would hope they still see the benefit to finish what they started.

I really hope it happens and I really hope in the same format so it lines up nicely with the rest of the books.

Yeah... but since this thread was about the Saga books, i didn't want to pick on IDW.

If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't find it either.

I found a way to solve that problem. Basically never use Facebook unless 100% complete unavoidable.

Fear not! Saga 9 has been tentatively rescheduled for May 2021. The cover for it is due from me in August.

Dark Horse will also be reprinting all the Saga trade beginning 2021 as well, so don't go spending outrageous sums for those books now.
