BKV is back.
Announced today at a creator-owned comics panel at SDCC, Brian K. Vaughan is returning to comics with a new ongoing at Image. 2012's Saga sees Vaughan teaming with Mystery Society artist Fiona Staples.
In an interview with CBR, Vaughan described the sci-fi ongoing as such:
"Saga" is an epic drama chronicling the life and times of one young family fighting to survive a never-ending war.
We don't know a whole lot else, but people have horns and gyrocopter things.
At the same time!
We're getting a Dark Crystal vibe that makes us feel really, really warm and gooey.
Our favorite word in this announcement? "Ongoing."

Nice!
Hell yes! Ex Machina is one of my all time favorite comics!
Great, now I need even MORE room in my monthly comics budget!
So happy to hear this! I’ve been missing my BKV fix.
Hmmmm… I love BKV, but this doesn’t grab me.
an ongoing??? sweeeeet.
AND FIONA STAPLES?
Just fantastic.
Awesome Awesome Awesome! I was hoping Fiona Staples would end up on another project I was interested in BUT BKV’s newest…Incredible.
BKV is on the loose!
There is no way this announcement could be any better.
Yes
fuckin eh!
My only complaint, it isn’t out until 2012. Still, nice to finally see BKV working on comics again. Part of me wishes it was with Vertigo just because, but Image makes sense in terms of creative control and profit share.
BKV is back baby!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice he was missed thats a guy that should have been on the dc reboot
BKV with Image is just more evidence toward my theory that Vertigo won’t be doing monthly comics anymore.
Awesome announcement though. Kinda covers up how lackluster this SDCC has been on the comic book front.
Creative team swoon!
w00t
yes
So pumped for this!
I’m in for anything BKV, now I’ve just got to decide if I’m going monthly or trades…
This makes me a happy, happy man. Can’t wait to buy it.
forget Cable reborn..THIS excites me !!
And now I believe in God.
BKV and comics are all i need to hear. I can go to sleep a happy boy.
very exciting. full-on fantasty usually makes me want to eat a bag of dicks but i will definitely read this
I’m in.
That’s a great pairing. I can’t wait for this.
omg! yes please.
Fiona Staples makes me happy.
Now this I care about.
Definitely excited for this. I am a fan of both creators.
@edward “Suck a bag of dicks” is one of my favorite Louis CK routines 🙂
Anyone think that the horn by the guy’s face looks a lot like a penis?
Definitely glad to see BKV back to writing comics, there’s always room for his work. Can’t wait to know more about Saga, looks interesting. Plus Fiona Staples, yeah, this should be good.
@Slockhart Yeah, that does seem to be a pretty big tell… Just finish out my Scalped & I’m cool.
Oh yeah – & like everyone else here, 10,000% stoked for this.
