The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain advance copy
of Arcana Studios’ latest graphic novel – ALL FALL DOWN. Casey Jones wrote the story, with art by Jason
Reeves, Cirque Studios, Gian Fernando, Anvit, Pericles Junior, Barnaby Bagenda,
and Al Jerek Torrijas.
What do you do if you happen to gain the powers of all
the heroes and villains in the world? What do you do if you are a hero or
villain and no longer have your powers? Sophie - a high school freshman gains
all the powers of all the superbeings in the world and cannot give them back no
matter how much she wants to get rid of them. Meanwhile, heroes Paradigm,
Portia, Pronto, and Phylum (just a few who survived the de-powering) have to
figure out how to move on with their lives. The son of a former villain may have the
answer, but are his intentions honorable?
Casey Jones’s story is very thought provoking. I have
read stories of super beings losing their powers and the average Joe suddenly
gaining powers, but not like this. The contrasting art styles are unique and
enjoyable. ALL FALL DOWN is out in stores now, or you can buy it in print or
digital form at www.arcana.com.
