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

DC Cancels Four 'New 52' Titles



Well it looks like DC has canceled another four of their New 52 titles. August will be the final issues for Threshold, Demon Knights, Dial H, and Legion of Super-Heroes.

I never really cared for Legion since the beginning and I'm shocked it lasted this long. I personally liked Legion Lost more, and of course it has already been canceled. I was reading Dial H, although never really got into it and not surprised it's going. Threshold on the other hand has me confused since it's a newer title and seemed like a good place to put characters like Blue Beetle, Larfleeze and DC's other space related characters. I have mixed feelings about Demon Knights, I never read it but after seeing a preview on Comic Vine I was tempted to pick it up.

Oh well, I guess we will have to wait and see what comics they replace them with. I hope they bring back maybe a few Wildstorm characters. What I don't want to see is another four Bat books, or more Super books. It's like TV Networks who want ratings like American Idol even if a show has a fan base or great writing they cancel it, not taking other factors into consideration like time slot, they just want advertisers $$. DC seems to use Superman and Batman as their benchmark the same way. I know they already announced a new Superman book. And The Movement and Green Team have been announced. I haven't read either yet but personally I dont' see them lasting any longer than Threshold did.
