2.0

1) Every comic wraps up too quickly, the villains often just suddenly lose and disappear and that's it. Some of them give very little room for the villains to spread their wings so it's kind of not great. I understand part of this is space constraints cause so many characters but ugh
2) Almost every single comic has a decent portion of time given to setting up the next comic, so you feel compelled to read, but there's never any sense of catharsis or conclusion because there's always SOMETHING else before they've even defeated any villain, it's weirdly exhausting to read.

Some of the writing and art is pretty good but ughhh
