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

BatWatch Reviews: @DCComics Batman and Two-Face #24


Here are today's Guest Reviews by Jeremy Sims from Batwatch for DC's; Batman and Two-Face #24. I have also added my rating after each review. If you have any questions about my rating or want to discuss anything just leave me a comment.
See the Review Rating Overview page for more information on how I rate each comic.

Batman and Robin #24 - The Big Burn: First Strike

“The Big Burn” part one of five! Two-Face’s first epic in The New 52 sees Batman unraveling the mysterious connections between Harvey Dent’s life and the origin of Carrie Kelley!

Preview



Two-Face


I'm a big Two-Face fan. I love what Tomasi did with him during Villains Month, so this is going to be a great issue, right?

How foolish I can be sometimes to think such things.

I tried to enjoy this issue, but I just didn't. It's a slow, overly wordy yarn which slowly takes us nowhere. Other than telling the New 52 version of Two-Face's origin, this entire issue could be skipped without losing much vital information. A group of gangs are bonding together to push out the crazies, this girl who scarred Harvey is leading them and Batman's on the case. Except for the scarring of Harvey, you could give that information in maybe one more page? I can think of almost nothing in these other pages of any entertainment value except for the art which is, as usual, brilliant. However, I can't recommend an issue just based off art.

I'd suggest waiting for the next issue before jumping on to this arc.

"We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun!
