I like <i>Kinetic</i> very much, but I feel the glacial pace of the book is going to work against it for many readers. Here it is the second issue, and we have barely an inkling of what's going on. I think the characterizations are great: I know the mom means well, but I literally cringe when I see her. An excellent point.

Sad that this comic isn't getting more attention.
