District Noir by Pandasaurus Games Coming Soon

Image
Pandasaurus has announced a new 2 player set collection game District Noir is coming this summer. Preorders will start on May 19th with retail release planned for July 19th. District Noir was originally published in Japanese by Taikikennai Games in 2016 as Throne and Grail. It was then published in 2019 as Chocolate Factory by Nasza Księgarnia in Polish. The current art and theme was published last year in French by Spiral Éditions. When the time is right, gain control! At the head of the city’s largest criminal organizations, men and women fight to control territories and gain support by trying every means possible to grow their influence. Control of the District Noir, a central and highly contested area, remains the major issue that will make all the difference in dominating the city. There are two paths to victory: win over District Noir's various supports, or directly control the city’s three strategic locations. Before players can claim these, they must be played to the center

Avengers Assemble #9 - Science Bros! Review

Avengers Assemble #9 Review

Cover - 3/5

Would I pick-up the comic based on the cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the cover portray what happens in the issue?

Art - 4/5

Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

Color/Ink - 5/5

Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?

Layout - 5/5

Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?

Story - 3/5

Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story arc? How well did the issue further develop the characters?

Verdict - 3.7

What I think: The cover for this issue really doesn't say much. It's just another pose shot of the Avengers that are appearing in the issue (well except Captain America should be replaced with Thor). I also don't care for most of the variant issues, mainly because they are Movie tie-in covers that have zero to do with the actual comic. I like the art style, even though it at times doesn't portray everyone exactly as we have seen them before, you still know who they are. The problem I have with this issue is similar to the rest of the series, its too corny for my taste. I told that the old Guardians comics have always been like this so I figured I'd hang in there to find out. So far it seems like nothing major is happening with this arc, its just Tony and Bruce trying to one-up each other because Bruce one a Futurist award over Tony. I'll hold out for the next issue, hopefully the writing gets better or something major occurs to keep me interested.
