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

Blue Beetle #14 - Scarabworld Review

Blue Beetle #14 Review

Blue Beetle #14 Cover
Cover - 4/5

- 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 - 4/5

- 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 - 4.4

- I'm jumping into the series a little late and have only read the issues following the Green Lantern: New Guardians #9 - Beyond Hope crossover. I enjoyed this issue and the cover is a nice image of Khaji-Kai and Blue Beetle on the attack. This issue takes the Blue Beetle to Scarabworld with Khaji-Kai. Khaji wants to destroy the planet to prevent future Reach soldiers. Jaime Reyes is shocked to discover this isn't the first world Khaji has destroyed and has second thoughts about the mission. The two are capable of destroying the planet but Khaji gets left behind. The secondary story is of Blue Beetle's original Scarab host wanting to take it back. When Jaime commands Khaji Da (his scarab) to defend him, it responds that it can't hurt itself. We see the original host clinging to the escape vessel in the final scenes. As the series winds down it will be entertaining to see how this plays out.
