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

X-Men: Legacy #2 Review


X-Men Legacy #2 Cover
Legion, the most powerful and unstable mutant in the world and son to Professor Charles Xavier, has killed gods and reshaped the face of the universe. NOW! in the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men, Legion will finally attempt to conquer his demons and embrace his father's legacy!

Cover/Solicit - 3/5

- 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 - 3/5

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

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 3/5

- 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 - 4/5

- 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 - 2/5

- 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 - 2.7

- Like X-Men: Legacy #1 - Prodigal I'm not impressed with the cover, and for some reason I disliked the art even more. Maybe its because in this issue the story again isn't that great. I will say that the flow of this issue is a little better you don't bounce around as much, or at least when you go into Legion's head you know where you are now. We do discover that Legion has been out of control since last issue and his multiple personalities have been going across China causing destruction. Once Legion gains control we are given a new character, or should I say lack of character. It's basically two eyes that destroy a deer to form a body. The dialogue in the issue was something I didn't care for either, even existing characters seemed out of place. I also wasn't a fan that the writer decided every page needed an expletive somewhere. I really hope this series turns around, I really love the X-Men and Legion always seemed like an interesting character but right now this book seems all over the place.
