Yesterday, news broke that Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’s seminal Image sci-fi epic Saga would be going on an extend hiatus following this week’s release of Saga #54. No particular reason was highlighted in Vaughan and Staples’ statement, but Saga #54 pretty much tells us why with a massive milestone for the series.

Saga is no stranger to extended breaks, but this next intermission from the Image Comics series will take longer than usual. Series co-creator Brian K. Vaughan has announced that he and co-creator Fiona Staples are taking a year off from the series.

It's a good ol' standby question in celebrity interviews: What advice would you give your younger self? The scifi shenanigans of Paper Girls allow these moments to happen but the advice never gets passed on, because the young ladies in this comic are too shocked at what happens when they grow up.

Months ago, a team of incredibly talented comics-makers put out the first issue of Barrier, a science-fiction comics miniseries tackling the subject of illegal immigration. Barrier #2 is out now and surprisingly serves as a great reminder of how people coming together from different backgrounds has helped make America great.

Last year, Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin announced that they would be making a one-off comic in The Walking Dead universe, as part of a deal between Image Comics and their comics distribution service Panel Syndicate. Now, you can read it -- and it's got some pretty major implications for the comic series as a whole.

The two main characters in the new series from the creators of The Private Eye are both on long journeys that seem like they're destined for a head-on collision. But the thing they collide with is totally unexpected.

One of the best new comics this week is about a crew of preteen girls who deliver newspapers in the suburbs. And then: aliens. Well, they're more like maybe-aliens.
