It was published in trade paperback form in October 2012. The first issue of Saga was published on March 14, 2012, to positive reviews and a sold-out first printing. Vaughan indicated that the entire series will span 108 issues. It is Vaughan’s first creator-owned work to be published through Image Comics, and is the first time he employs narration in his comics writing. The comic was described in solicitations as “Star Wars meets Game of Thrones”, and by critics as evocative of both science fiction and fantasy epics such as The Lord of the Rings and classic works like Romeo and Juliet. It depicts a husband and wife, Alana and Marko, from long-warring extraterrestrial races, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their daughter, Hazel, who is born in the beginning of the series and who occasionally narrates the series as an unseen adult.
