I got this because I'm a huge fan of Sarah Andersen from Sarah Scribbles. The sneak peak she posted was enough to get my attention, and while it's not the first time these three characters have been put together, I was definitely willing for something easy and light.

However, it wasn't until after I bought it that I realized it was written by Andy Weir of The Martian fame. Now, The Martian was cute, but I think once people started reading Weir's second book Artemis they learned that his talents really only stemmed for writing one kind of character. And when you can only write one kind of character (a sassy smartass), then it gets a bit old when that's the entire cast of characters.

The art style is cute, but it doesn't save the halted pacing of the comic. There are some good ideas but it's clunky and the dialogue is sometimes almost painful as the characters make thinly veiled pop culture references. If this was a webcomic, I think it would do well enough, but I'm not going to continue reading the series.
