Meh, it's okay. The art is okay, nothing really to write home about. The plot is essentially Sliders, but I like Sliders better. I like the characters better.

You have a batch of scientists, pretty much par for the course. A jerk who cheats on his wife, is a brilliant scientist, and has children (God knows why); the woman he cheats with, who is okay; the jerk who funds him and can't be trusted; the jerk's sycophantic henchwoman, etc. No one very original here. The worlds are all skimmed through, and we don't get to know anyone in them really.

This could have potential, but it's not meeting that potential so far. Really, just watch Sliders. Sure, it's dated, but it's more satisfying and amusing, and the characters are better.
