This was a good beginning - a little unbelievable, of course, but the suspension of disbelief is needed to best enjoy.

Not even remotely what I thought it was but refreshingly different. Cool art and a writing perspective that's different for me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again with a first single issue you don't get much - just an introduction to the characters and the basic set up. The premise was fine and I would be interested in seeing how it becomes a LGBTQ+ road trip as the description states. But in terms of this single issue it just felt very tedious. Like here's the scientist character who gave up everything for an idea that a mean corporation is going to take away from her (insert evil capitalists rubbing their hands together maniacally). Since her ex-husband says she's not fun, she goes to a bar and take her top off and get kicked out. The ex-husband is the ex-husband because she wouldn't have children and he's already moved on and found someone willing to have his children before she's even signed the divorce documents. I don't know it just felt so stale. Like tropes are tropes for a reason, but this single issue didn't add to the tropes in anyway it just felt like no deeper thoughts at all.

What a beautiful surprise.
Completely different than i expected, but i was absolutely thrilled. The characters are so well written and the art is just simply beautiful.

I feel like there was a lot packed into this first issue and while it took a bit to process, this issue ended with me being very curious about the course of the story.

The first issue was just okay. I enjoyed the art. Hopefully the plot picks up more.
