Mostly a Fall
Review of the Clint Stoker Publishing paperback (2020)

Downcast: Wrize & Fall is the concluding chapter to the 2-part graphic novel series that began with Downcast (2019). I enjoyed the art work in the first chapter and the fact that the delivery goals of the crowd-funder were exceeded. The story did seem very thin though and there was much that was unexplained. I had hoped that the concluding book would provide more detail but it proved to be a letdown. There is even an additional text section which is supposedly there to fill in further back story but it is very weak as well.

The premise is good, a sister and brother duo work to free their father who has been unjustly condemned by the authorities of a floating city. The evil forces called the "Deadliners" are united under a character named Wrize who is himself condemned but who harnesses some sort of destructive powers granted to him by an unknown "Mother" force which is never properly explained. The art work continued to be well done in both the interior and cover work. But overall this is a 2 ie. "It was OK" due to the story disappointment (which also feels in some aspects to be "borrowed" from [book:Alita: Battle Angel|36844878], at least in the sense of an elite city floating above an earth populated by regular humanity).

A Good Start
Review of the Sweetcast Comics crowdfunded edition (Nov. 2019)

Part of the experience with crowd-funded books is that you are rating the fulfillment itself. That is whether the independent creator produced a professional product and delivered it in a proper and safely packaged manner within the promised delivery time-frame. By all of those measures, Clint Stoker delivered a 5-star product which included regular updates through his various social media.

In terms of the story outline, there are some confusing elements or jump-cuts which feel under-explained though. This is particularly so in the final pages. It is a continuing story so those gaps will hopefully be cleared up in the future. In any case, this is an excellent model for how to build a successful crowd-funding campaign.

Good and decent read, but nothing spectacular. Lots of adventure and mystery that takes place in a post-apocalyptic time. Caught in a labryinth of a utopian but totalitarian society, a group of revolutionary rebels try to escape and save lives in the meantime. Nice twist of events toward the end of the story. Yes, there were a lot of glaring grammatical and editorial errors throughout the book, but it was still very readable. Not a bad story from an amateur author.
