Chapters 2-3:
(1) After a cursory search, it turns out Marko's people speak Esperanto.
- More or less an alien language already.
(2) At first, I started reading this with American accents in mind. Then, suddenly, there's all these Briticisms! So I've decided everyone's British now.
(3) I enjoy that everyone has a distinct personality, regardless how much of them we've seen.

Chapters 4-6:
(1) Solid first volume. I'm not gaga over it or anything, but I'm looking forward to more.
(2) There's one standout issue that, if I rated this in singles, I'd give five-stars. Though, as it's a collection, I'm averaging it out to four-stars.
(3) I was already spoiled about the plot twist at the very end. Possibly, I might have enjoyed it more had I not known.

Chapter 1:
(1) That first issue was TRASH!
- I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Just trolling to see if people actually read past the first line.
- Let me know if you spat out a drink :)
(2) First issue's quite good, not blowing my socks off or anything, but enjoyable.
(3) As predicted, Vaughan shows his penchant for slicing heads clean in two or exploding them.
- In this case both.

Notes:
(1) Ever since I've been active here, people have said to me: "Have you read Saga?" "You need to read Saga!" Why haven't you read Saga!?"
- Fine, I'm reading "Saga." Happy now?
(2) I hope I love this. Anything less would incur pestering from "Saga" stans who are inordinately precious about and protective of this series.
- Oh, the hostility and passive-aggressiveness!

Oh yes, cardboard background characters are boring and a bit maddening. This is one of the reasons why this comic series is so insanely good.
