This was a fantastic start to an issue. I love how this issue got to see how a superhero's life is affected when they have to worry bout things like having a family to take care of and need money to pay the bills. This definitely added some realism into Jessica's character, especially when normally we usually only see heroes before they have a family, not really having a bad day, or having to worry about how they are going to live & make money. This was definitely a great issue to start when it comes to learning more about Jessica.

This was cute little ending to this story but I do wish it was longer and that we gotten some more character development for the characters. Everything just seem very one dimensional for the story. Overall though I do really enjoy the art style and think that it complements the story well.

This was definitely a better issue. I like how gotten to deepen the mystery bit with a Victorian puzzle box. That was pretty cool. I definitely like how we got to see more the mystery of what is happening to her eyesight, even though it seems fine. This was definitely better that the last one.
(Notice: this mysterious creature that the character seems like a low key slender man)

This wasn’t as exciting as the last one. It felt like a filler issue with brief explanation and a little bit of scare, but nothing too exciting really.

This was a fun, weird ride to start a comic issue. I love the 1960s-70s art style but it was a bit distracting. If you want a low key psychedelic fever dream mystery, then this comic is definitely for you.

It was pretty cute, and dark magical girl goodness. I wish that we have gotten more out of the story since it felt like a one shot story. I wonder how the second volume will pan out whether we get the same characters or a new set of characters.

This was an interesting start to a series, not gonna lie though the mystery aspect could have been explained more but overall pretty good start.

I really like this issue. This was a splendid start to the series and the exploration of becoming who you are in your 20s and the messiness that comes with it. I really like the art style; it was very unique and something that I haven't seen before.

This was an ok read. I hope that we get more story from the other sisters and how about they feel the situation? I found Sarah to be annoying and conceded only focus on why she wanted to do and thinking about how her sisters felt. I wasn't a fan of the ending, just ending too nicely.
