I've had a few geek friends say they loved this comic as kids, so I'm willing to give it a chance. From the few books I read, I never thought the two of them were in a relationship - just partners. But that was 30 years ago, so who knows.
My daughters watched "Kickin' It" all the time, which means I did by extension. Olivia Holt does have tons of charisma, and some decent karate moves.
