Saga #12 iOS availability dispute
Saga #12 was initially unavailable through the iOS version of the service because ComiXology interpreted Apple's content rules as restricting panels depicting oral sex between men. After clarification with Apple, the issue was made available. The episode prompted criticism over censorship and possible unequal treatment of gay sexual content, followed by an apology for the communication failure.
