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

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Doctor Who: Assimilation² #7 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 - 3/5

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


Color/Ink - 3/5

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


Layout - 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 arc? How well did the issue further develop the characters?


Verdict - 4.4
- What I think: The default cover we see the TARDIS in flight to the Borg cube during the battle of Wolf 359, and the Alternate is a nice shot of The Doctor, Amy Pond, Jean-Luc Picard and William Riker standing in front of the TARDIS. My biggest gripe with this series so far has been the art, or maybe the coloring. While I appreciate the painted look as an art style, I have never liked it in comics. This is not the worst I've seen it's not great. Past that I think they did a good job of trying to keep the characters well in character even though they are in different universes. There are a few areas of dialogue that don't fit perfectly but it doesn't distract from the overall story, or flow. They also provided the Doctor Who fans that might know know much about TNG information about the Borg and how Picard became Locutus and how he was able to escape the hive. Since this is before Voyager, Seven Of Nine isn't mentioned up as being another who escaped the Borg Queen. I am really enjoying the series and can't wait to read the last issue. Again I really just wish I liked the art better this would definitely be a 5 all the way.
