What Are The Best Fan Theories About Saga #68?

I lean into the theory that 'Saga #68' is setting up a fake-out death for Izabel. Her ‘death’ scene had odd visual cues—like her chains dissolving too cleanly—and she’s too iconic to stay gone. Others think the Robot Kingdom’s ‘peace talks’ are a trap to weaponize Phang’s remains, foreshadowed by the radioactive glow in recent panels. Also, that two-page spread of the fractured moon? Definitely a Chekhov’s gun for a planetary-scale disaster.

One underrated theory about 'Saga #68' is that the entire story is Hazel’s memoir being read by her future self, explaining her omniscient narration. The way she casually mentions events she couldn’t have witnessed feels like a giveaway. Others speculate the Will’s resurrection was faked—his ‘ghost’ appearances are hallucinations from Marko’s guilt. Also, that weird jellyfish alien in the market? Definitely a spy for the Robot Kingdom. The details in the background art are never accidental in 'Saga'.

As someone who’s spent way too much time dissecting every panel of 'Saga #68', I’ve come across some wild fan theories that honestly blew my mind. One popular one suggests that the mysterious character introduced in the last arc is actually a time-displaced version of a younger Alana, based on the subtle scars and mannerisms. The way the artist hides their face in shadows feels intentional, like a breadcrumb for readers. Another theory revolves around the planet’s sudden ecological collapse being a result of a failed experiment by the Wreath High Command, tying back to that eerie lab scene in #52.

Then there’s the darker take that Hazel’s narration is actually a posthumous recording, hinted at by her increasingly detached tone and the recurring motif of fractured family portraits. The way Vaughan layers symbolism—like the wilted flowers in the background of key scenes—makes this feel plausible. And let’s not forget the meme-worthy (but low-key brilliant) idea that Lying Cat’s inability to lie is a curse that’ll eventually break, causing chaos. The fandom’s creativity never fails to impress.

The most chilling theory I’ve seen is that 'Saga #68' is building toward a time loop. Hazel’s opening line about ‘the end of the story’ mirrors dialogue from #1, and the recurring moth imagery (which in some cultures symbolizes rebirth) hints at a cyclical narrative. Some fans think the war’s true origin involves time-traveling Hazel trying to prevent her own death. Also, Alana’s movie reels keep showing up—what if they’re not just flashbacks but literal recordings from alternate timelines? Vaughan loves playing with meta-narratives, so this wouldn’t surprise me.

I’m obsessed with how 'Saga #68' quietly set up future chaos, and my favorite theory involves the ghostly baby from earlier arcs. Some fans think it’s not just a visual metaphor but a literal spirit that’ll possess someone—maybe even Prince Robot IV’s kid—given the recurring ‘haunted tech’ theme. The way Fiona Staples draws its glowing eyes in crowd scenes feels like a clue. Another angle I love is that the war’s real puppet master is a third faction manipulating both sides, hinted at by the cryptic ‘black egg’ McGuffin from #60. Also, the fact that Alana’s new job involves smuggling ‘stories’ makes me think she’s unwittingly trafficking propaganda that’ll backfire. The series thrives on tragic irony, so this would fit perfectly.
