"I knew you were the adult"
The latest arc ends with a bang. The entire arc was one big huge bang. We know our characters and the series has left us in a place where it could potentially go anywhere. The villain is dead, the issue resolved, yet it all feels like it's gone bad.
How bad is it that we don't even know who Laura's sister is? Did she ever mention her? Did we even see her? Who more

It's cute, it's got charm, and a cast I could potentially really love. Lots of great ideas in the first issue but the pace is frantic with little to no room to breath. So much happens in this first issue that I feel bad that I don't know who any of these characters are.
