Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun! 

Ultimate Comics X-Men #19 - Reservation X; Part 1 Review

Ultimate Comics X-Men #19 Review


Ultimate Comics X-Men #19 CoverAn All-New direction for the Ultimate X-Men!

Kitty tries to lead a new nation of mutants but someone close to her has different plans!

Brian (DMZ, STAR WARS, X-MEN) Wood's epic RESERVATION X arc begins here!

Cover/Solicit - 4/5

- 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 - 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

- This issue follows the events from Ultimate Comics X-Men #18.1 - Point One. While the cover is interesting if it wasn't and X-Men book or an Ultimate book I probably would skip over it. I'm really glad we have a new artist on this issue. If you read my review of #18.1 you will know how much I disliked the previous artist. This issue is pretty simple and not much happens. It involves Kitty Pryde and the other mutants that didn't take the cure, starting their life in the Utah desert at the Utopia Reservation. The issue also sees Mach Two (Nomi) trying to pressure Kitty into fighting, and has the others vote who should lead them. I like that this issue is pretty easy to follow so new readers should be able to jump on and understand the basics. I can't wait to see the elements that were revealed like Karen Grant (Jean Grey) on the final page, and the hint at who Nomi might actually be.
