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

Minimum Carnage: Part 6; Omega Review

Minimum Carnage: Omega Review


MINIMUM CARNAGE FINALE!

Houston is on fire as Carnage’s greatest act of evil may be his final hour!

The most dangerous web-slingers of all unite with humanity at stake!

Cullen Bunn, Chris Yost and Lan Medina bring the crossover smash hit to it’s synapse-shattering finale!

Cover/Solicit - 5/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the solicit/cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the solicit/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?

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 4/5

- 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 - 4.7

- I enjoyed the Minimum Carnage story arc for the most part. There were times in Scarlet Spider #11 - Minimum Carnage; Part 4; Kill Carnage that seemed confusing but Venom #27 - Minimum Carnage; Part 5; Family Bondage seemed to flow better. There were certain parts of the issue where the art seemed rushed but overall it didn't effect it much. The issue is told from the point of view of Katy Kiernan's article for the Daily Inquisitor, and flowed very well. This issue ties up the end of the arc after Carnage leaves the Microverse and returned to Houston. Once Flash Thompson (Venom) and Kaine (Scarlet Spider) return from the Microverse they have to battle a Carnage, who appears to have been separated from his hosts conscious and that's not saying much considering who the host is. The issue also explains how Flash fears that the same could happen to him and the Venom symbiote. The battle rages thru the city and in the end the duo are able to bring Carnage down. The final panels show a shocking revelation that Kaine has about why bad guys act the way they do, it's because heroes don't really stop them. I wasn't sure about in the beginning, but I think this was a great finish to the arc  and definitely a must read for any Venom, Carnage, or Scarlet Spider fan.
