LOL! I read up to page 13 and it's very funny actually. I didn't expect it to be considering the synopsis which describes a plot that I probably wouldn't like later on (sorry). But so far, the dialogue is very relaxed and real with a realistic use of pacing and it's also funny. The illustrations are also nice, blending a bit of manga and western comics.
The only things I don't like is probably Scott only for the impression that he's using Knives as a rebound...not very cool of him. Secondly, I don't like the name given to the "Chinese" girl - Knives Chau? Knives Chow? A sort of a negative pun, I feel, and also a stupid reference to eating...it's annoying when people think of the Chinese they immediately think of food aka Chinese food. Sure, it's better than referencing martial arts and giving her a name like Gong Foo Lee (Kung Fu Lee) but still...
Other than these gripes, it's very enjoyable to read.
