* FridgeBrilliance: It's possible that the name ''Saga'' wasn't just chosen because it sounded good, but also because it starts with an 'S'. Given that ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' was the series that made him a household name, and still features prominently in bookstores today, the fact that ''Saga'' also features right next to it means that it made for some excellent secret marketing.

* {{Misblamed}}: Issue #12 wasn't for sale on the iOS version of digital comics storefront Comixology due to two panels depicting gay oral sex on Prince Robot IV's screen. People originally pinned this on Apple forbidding it, but it turned out that Comixology forbid it based on their interpretation of the Apple rules. Apple then said that they never banned it, and the comic was reinstated.

* GeniusBonus: The title of Heist's novel ''The Opposite of War''--which refers to '''sex''', not peace--is a direct allusion to the writings of UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud. Freud believed that sex and warfare were two of humanity's primary means of channeling their inherent aggression, though with completely opposite aims (one devoted to creating life, the other devoted to ending it).
