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

All-New X-Men #2 Review


Cover - 5/5

- 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 - 5/5

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

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 5/5

- Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening? Can I easily read the lettering?

Layout/Flow - 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 - 5/5

- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?



Verdict - 5

- What can I say about this series, besides I'm loving it. It reminds me of the days when the X-Men were about the X-Men and mutants, and not the Avengers. While the cover is nothing but a pose cover, I still like it, and the bonus is it connects to the first issue to form a larger image. Like All-New X-Men #1, I'm in love with the art. Every page and every panel looks great. The overall story this issue is the past X-Men finally deciding to take Beast's offer and join him in the present. It also finally reveals to the rest of the X-Men that Beast is dying. This is definitely one of my favorite Marvel NOW! books out, and I can't wait to see how Cyclops reacts to his past self and especially Jean Grey.
