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: G.I. Joe #20 - Target: Snake Eyes Part 5

G.I. Joe #20 Review


G.I. Joe #20 CoverTARGET: SNAKE EYES hurtles toward its shocking conclusion! SERPENTOR'S FANG BRIGADE closes in on the Arashikage refuge deep in the jungle. HELIX and SNAKE EYES battle for their lives surrounded on all sides by warring foes. The G.I. JOE team rides to the rescue-but will they find a battlefield or a graveyard?

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/Colors/Ink - 4/5

- Weighted Double
- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance? Does the coloring/inking blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?

Layout/Flow - 3/5

- 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? Can I easily read the issue, to include lettering?

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 all the buildup we are finally at the conclusion of the Target Snake Eyes arc. The first thing that annoys me with the issue is the cover. Every time I see it something bothers me. We have Scarlett whose proportions are completely wrong, she not only looks squat but a little to voluptuous. The next is the let down of the issue itself. We have been building to this great confrontation between Storm Shadow, COBRA, Soft Master, and G.I. Joe but what we get is a couple of COBRA Vipers getting themselves killed, a kid taking out Soft Master, Storm Shadow defending Snake-Eyes, and G.I. Joe forgetting is indiscretions. While not a horrible story I was really expecting more of a battle. This is probably best read in the TPB so you get the whole story at once.
