There is a fine line between bashing someone over the head with mindset, and watering down one's message with action & excitement to the point of it being diluted beyond recognition (or only noticed by a rare few).
This series rides that line beautifully, mixing introspection, action, and self-discovery together very well. Now that they've made the jump to webtoons, Neon Future's audience will undoubtedly grow, as it's tricky to argue with free comics!
Their artwork is generally stellar, though they have a propensity towards reusing images, and the earlier issues were a little "clunky" in their layout & writing, the whole Neon team really seems to hit their stride around issue 10.
In issue 12 (a personal favorite) there is a beautiful moment where Clay confronts his own subconscious' view of his past, present, and future selves, and has to make a choice who lives or dies. Riveting stuff!
For anyone who is a fan of Tom Bilyeu, the parallels between Clay/Dee and Tom/Lisa are quite interesting to note from time to time, and whether intentional or not, gives a rather interesting peek into the couple's history.
In Issue 13 there are some beautiful lines taken from some of the greater influencers of our time, including "Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done" and other nuggets of wisdom.
While it might be an unrealistic expectation considering the limitations of the genre, now that it's a digital comic and space is unlimited, I'd like a more focused point on a few techniques, or a deeper dive on some of the principals. I recognize time is short and costly in the drawn world, but sometimes the transitions from struggle to achievement only taking a few panels seem rushed.
But, the series is young, and we have time, and it is well worth perusing!
Where will Clay end up? Only time (and the amazing team behind Neon Future) will tell!
