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

Review


See the Review Rating Overview page for more information on how I rate each comic


Cover & Solicit 3/5


While I don't really like the art on this cover the team-up aspect draws my eye. Any book that features that many characters running into battle can't be bad right? I do have to spoil the solicit for you in the fact that the battle to the death between the Widow's happens but not as the solicit makes it out to be.

Art, Colors & Inking 2/5


I'm really disappointed with the art in this entire story arc. It seems like Marvel has this idea how an apocalyptic comic should be drawn and makes them all the same. IMO they make them too gritty, too dark, and lack detail. I have the same gripe with Age of Apocalypse.

Layout & Flow 4/5


The flow of this issue is superior to the previous issues, but only in the fact that by this point I finally have a small idea what is going on. In the first I was confused about even being in an alternate universe.

Story 4/5


This issue concludes the arc to take down the Venemma Multiversal. Continued from last issue we see Captain and both Black Widows teaming up with Keshmir Venemma who wants revenge on her alternate reality counterparts. Captain informs her there will be no killing. I enjoyed seeing all the different reality counterparts they threw in and the unique personalities they were given. As the battle commences outside the Widows go inside Venemma Multiversal, this of course leads to the events the solicit mentions, we get to see Black Widow fight herself, while confusing it was an interesting sequence. The death they mention of course isn't Black Widow but one of the alternate Venemma's. I think they did a very good job of tying up the arc and I'm actually happy I didn't give up on this series after the first two issues. I recommend this as a read but probably just as a TPB so you can get everything at once.

Verdict 3.3
