I picked this up out of faint curiousity and a bit of nostalgia, but I doubt I'll be back. Not that I know enough about the the other kids to care specifically about them, but the Sam I remember was not a dick and was conspicuously level headed (and didn't have ridiculous anime hair.) So it fails on both counts: doesn't resemble the characters I once knew, and isn't at all attractive to read about if you just consider them as new characters.
