I love web comics and I’m always looking for a new one so I checked this out. The art…immediately turned me off. I don’t consider myself an art snob when it comes to comics but if a comic is going to keep my interest it needs either amazing art, an intriguing story line or (ideally) both. Sadly, I just couldn’t even get past the first five pages. It just didn’t grab me. I even skipped to the last page to see if the art improved to a point where I could at least watch the artist grow and improve (which I love to do) but that doesn’t seem to be the case. ---

Point taken the art is pretty awful, but the story is fairly engaging once it gets chugging. ---
