Yeah I need help, in the form of feedback. so heres my Idea-

Okay, the setting is an urban fantasy set in a kind of fantasy universe that has progressed to 1950's era technology. The city is the soul setting (its name hasn't been chosen), In it there is a culture clash between a American/European Capitalist Society and A Mesoamerican/ Arabic kind of selection of fantasy beings such as djinn,ghouls, marids and so on.
The storyline is non-linear (kind of like pulp-fiction, its hard to explain) but basicly the events centre around a protest, than a prison riot, than a crackdown and city-wide riot and then a final state of conflict. there will be multiple characters on both sides who are both good and bad, the way they react to and cause these events is explored. the major characters are all individualistic and end up leaving the city in one way or another eventually.
The basic theme is that sometimes conflict and idealism are self-perpetuating and the only way for there to be no conflict is for there to be no sides. or no alienation, whichever way you see it.
The visuals will be different chapter to chapter, some will be a newspaper, others will be black and white, others will appear like an oil-painting and so on. thank god for photoshop, or this wouldn't be possible.
there are at least two maor twists in the storyline so far.
so what do you guys think?
