Clock Striker, Volume 1: "I'm Gonna Be a SMITH!" (1) (Saturday AM TANKS / Clock Striker)

Product Information

Now Cast is thrust into one deadly adventure after another! From cybernetic desperadoes to technology thieves and more, Cast has to use her mind and her remodeled robotics-lab prosthetic hand, which offers unfathomable offensive power in the form of scientific experiments. Need lightning? Cast can generate it from her hand! Cast’s mentor seeks to uncover an ominous mystery that explains what happened to the SMITHS and shines a light on a hidden power that may be within Cast herself.

It feels like a proper shonen manga, but it's read Western style (left to right), is written by an American, and is illustrated by Nigerian artist living in France. Disclaimer: I have voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving a free copy from the publisher via Edelweiss+, thank you! Award-Winning Directors Michèle Stephenson and Joe Brewster Talk 'Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project' The best Striker loadout in Modern Warfare 3 will see you using one of the best SMGs in the game, and it’ll also feel very familiar to anyone who played a lot of Modern Warfare 2 in 2009.

The concept of the technology almost being used like it's a form of magic was very cleverly done, and again I think that is something that will be explored and fleshed out in future volumes. Frankly, 3 stars feels a little harsh, but I can't bring myself to round it up to 4 precisely because despite its various merits, charm, and my personal affinity for it, it's just not very distinct from other shonen manga. Yes, it's quite fun and I am excited and hopeful for a vol. 2 - I'll buy it right up. But so far at least, it's only done the bare minimum: be good, be distinct. It's still missing something that makes it truly special, but there's no reason to think it couldn't get there. Cast loves science and engineering and dreams of being an engineer. She particularly dreams of becoming a member of SMITH—a traditionally predominantly male group of engineer warriors who create tools to help people. Casts’ opportunities are limited as she does not have a left hand, attends school in a poor neighborhood where STEM subjects are not taught., and she is not male. Therefore she experiments and builds her own creations. She is less than encouraged by her home economics teacher who says she cannot even apply for the SMITH mentorship contest since nice she is a girl. This girl is not deterred and remains determined to try, and manages to construct herself a prosthetic hand.

Can Cast become a new member of the SMITHS? More importantly, can Cast survive the process to become a SMITH? So, having an app that allows me to load in my finished art from REKSE and use it on mobile devices is a huge deal for me. Obviously, the software works and that’s the main thing. The action scenes are fast and furious, and my one criticism is that I wasn't always 100% sure what was happening in certain action panels, but I could still follow it well enough.To be honest, when it comes to drawing, I really like to practice just making different kind of faces. Even when I’m not drawing manga, sometimes I’ll just ‘people watch’. Y’know, sit in front of a mirror and make funny faces or maybe go out in a mall and sit in a café to study and draw people. With that training, it really helps me view different kinds of character personality.

She is beyond determined to enter the upcoming contest to become a striker, the long-honored engineer-warriors, who have saved the world. But her teacher refuses, reminding her that their town is trash and not interested in math or science. Of course, this isn't enough to make her give up, especially since her mother's health and brother's well-being depend on her success. Although she's already convinced she's proven her tinkering and tech skills to her teacher, she takes things one step further and fixes up as well as adapts an old AI hand. Not only will this enable her to do lab work but proves him wrong that a girl with a disability can't handle it. Well, plus she's a girl, and Strikers are never girls.
