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

Name a Character in Andy Diggle's New Crime Comic "Uncanny"!

 
Andy Diggle will immortalize you in the next issue of Dynamite Entertainment's Uncanny in a special auction benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund! Starting now, until May 15, CBLDF is running a special eBay auction where the winning bidder will be named as a character in Diggle's Uncanny #2, coming out this July. In addition to being immortalized in the comic, the winner will also receive a set of all covers from the issue, and a thank you note from Diggle himself! All proceeds from this auction benefit the CBLDF's work to protect the Freedom to Read.

Diggle says, "The CBLDF carries out vital work defending the First Amendment rights of comic book readers, retailers and publishers. I'm proud to be able to play some small part in this special benefit auction which will help raise awareness of freedom of speech issues in the comics medium and defend our Freedom to Read."


Uncanny kicks off Dynamite's new crime line with gritty action as only Andy Diggle delivers. The series follows Weaver, who was born with an uncanny ability, he can steal other people's skills - their memories, abilities, and expertise - for a limited time. A man with a power like that could change the world; but as a professional gambler, con-man, and thief-for-hire, Weaver prefers to look out for number one. That is, until he finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of international intrigue where the rules keep changing, the players are hidden... and the first thing he stands to lose is his life. And maybe, just maybe, he isn't so unique after all... Uncanny kicks off Dynamite's new crime line with gritty action as only Andy Diggle delivers.
