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-Treme X-Men #6 - You Can't Go Home Again, Part 1 Review

X-Treme X-Men #6 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?

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 4/5

- 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 - 5/5

- 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 - 4.7

- I enjoy a good alternate reality book, and X-Treme X-Men so far hasn't disappointed. Similar to Exiles before it we find the team going from universe to universe trying to prevent it's destruction, only this time the mission is to simply kill each Xavier. Nightcrawler has always been one of my favorite characters and anytime I see him on the cover I'm thrilled. I'm not sure what was wrong with the art this time, but it appeared they were going for an Æon Flux feel. While I like the cartoon, I don't think it fits this comic. Overall this was a good issue. We see from X-Treme X-Men #5 that Nightcrawler has ported himself back to his home universe. We also get some insight of what happened and what caused him to port himself out of his universe in the first place. It seems that Danger and the rest of the robots of his world have taken control and humans are now almost extinct. We also see Head Xavier's ultimate motivation is to stop his alternate selves no matter the cost, when the rest of the team wants to go rescue Kurt, he refuses and stays behind. We will have to wait and see how that plays out, and if Kurt and the others make it out alive.
