Seems a potentially interesting universe, but needs VERY substantial suspension of disbelief about basic physics.

Creative story! I’m intrigued to see how it wraps up and goes on from here. I like to see stories that address those pivotal moments in history when the whole world changes and society is forced to adjust. This does a great job at giving insight into people’s different realities of coping with that change.

The concept is cool, but the story is just a rehash of uninteresting comic book tropes of the "you're trying to destroy everything I've worked for!!" variety (that's the "bad guy's" raison d'etre). In the words of Gob Bluth, "Come on...."

Totally not at all my usual genre, but definitely an interesting concept and fun story, and honestly... I kinda want to know what happens next?

I really liked the setting - earth that has lost its gravity - and the art, but the good things were cancelled out by my dislike of the immature, selfish main character.

This is such an intruiging concept that was executed so well with the vibrant art and the storyline. The first chapter has some emotional moemnts as Earth's gravity stops working and all hell breaks loose. We meet Willa's father, and Willa herself, an infant that grows up in the new low-gravity world.

This comic has so much energy and Willa's dialogue is so manic, and sometimes a bit too much, that she makes everyone else seem so bland. There are so many directions this story could in and I can'y wait to see where it will go.

It’s a cool, fun premise. I have some issues with this, but overall is a strong opener.

Gravity is all fucked up, which is fun but also horrifying. Fun because hello flying, hello floating coffee. Horrifying when you aren’t weighted down. The main character loves this world she’s grown up in, her dad not so much. There’s adequate reason for both of their reactions to low-g life.

Very excited to see where this goes.
