CMON's SDCC Exclusives: A Betrayal to Loyal Fans and Backers?

Image
In recent years, CMON has built a reputation for creating some of the most beloved board games in the industry. Titles like Zombicide , Dune , Cyberpunk 2077 , Cthulhu: Death May Die , Arcadia Quest and Marvel United have garnered a dedicated fanbase, many of whom have supported these games through Kickstarter campaigns and retail purchases. However, CMON's recent decision to make exclusive content for these games available only at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has sparked significant outrage among its loyal supporters. The Exclusivity Issue At the heart of the controversy are the exclusive expansions and content for Zombicide: White Death, Cthulhu: Death May Die, and Marvel United. These exclusives include: Zombicide: White Death TMNT Expansion: Featuring comics and Rocksteady and Bebop miniatures for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion. This expansion is only available at SDCC, but was highly requested by backers during the entire campaign. Godzilla Expansion for Cthulhu: D

Review


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


Cover & Solicit 4/5


I originally thought the cover was kinda boring, until I took a closer look. And that is literal, take a look at Carl's eye, While the events have nothing to do with the issue, its small details like this that make a cover go from ordinary to outstanding.

Art, Colors & Inking 3/5


I personally have never cared to the art style in The Walking Dead. It has it's moments of greatness, normally full page or double page images. But for me I want a black and white comic to look great with the details on the pages emphasized by the inking job. This just doesn't always seem to be the case in this series.

Layout & Flow 5/5


The pacing of this issue felt right on pace for this issue. They don't seem to rush anything and give each panel and page time to give us details without getting wordy. While at the same time it's not boring to read either.

Story 5/5


This issue continues from the last with Carl being captured by Negan. Captured is probably too strong a word as Negan allows Carl to see the sanctuary that he is providing The Saviors. We get to see how Negan controls his system thru the system of points and barter. When Negan discovers one of his wives cheated on him with her ex, Negan shows his darker side similar to what we saw in issue 100 with Glenn. It's almost like he has a cult atmosphere where they will do anything for Negan and allow him to do anything to them in the name of the colony. While a slower issue it does expand on Negan as a character, and also allows you to see another side of Carl that as of yet, has appeared to be somewhat heartless and cruel. I believe the issue was better even though they don't explain much about what Rick and the others are doing, because it gave us more time to focus on Negan and Carl.

Verdict 4.3
