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

Green Arrow #15 Review


Green Arrow #15 Cover
Ollie begins a downward spiral as he slowly loses everything!

Betrayed and alone after the loss of Q-Corps, can the Emerald Archer hold on to his arsenal?

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 - 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 - 3/5

- 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 - 3.3

- After seeing a unique cover I was expecting more out of the issue. The art in the issue seems all over the place, and Green Arrow just looks wrong as Oliver. The issue was pretty easy to follow, even without reading prior issues, they go over the events prior to Green Arrow #14 - Hawkman: Wanted, Part Two: Skywar and The Savage Hawkman #14 - Hawkman: Wanted, Part Four: Birds of a Feather as well as the prior story arcs to get readers caught up. But that's where the flow ends. The issue seems irrelevant in the scheme of things, Oliver is hallucinating, but then again maybe he's not. You really can't tell from one panel to the next. The issue is a simple concept of Ollie trying to take down a new villain who doesn't seem like a long term rival. Overall this issue fell flat and can probably be skipped.
