Amazing artwork and I love the relationship between Alana and Marko. Fast paced read with lots of action and easy to understand world building. I can't wait to read more and I hope to see more of Alana's and Marko's backstory.

I love Saga and this first volume is still really good on the reread, but the use of the r-slur and some cis assumptions prevent me from giving this a 5. I adore Fiona Staples' art but some of Brian K Vaughn's dialog is cringe here.
