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

Uncanny X-Force #33 - The Father Who Must Be Killed Review

Uncanny X-Force #33 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 - 4/5

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

Color/Ink - 5/5

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 - 4/5

How well did the issue further develop the current story arc? How well did the issue further develop the characters?

Verdict - 4.6

What I think: I love me some Nightcrawler, and this cover screams AoA Nightcrawler. While I appreciate the art in the issue and the coloring is great, something just wasn't right. There were moments of greatness like the final page with Genesis in his Apocolypse suit, but there were others that the characters looked wrong. My only real gripe about the Story is it seemed to be Wolverine time again, it was father son talking with minimal focus on Genesis and the Brotherhood. You do get to see Nightcrawler exact his revenge in probably one of the best kills in Marvel history so that's worth a read in itself.
