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

The Indigo Tribe Reviews @DCComics Green Lantern #26


Here is today's Guest Review by LiquidCross from The Indigo Tribe for DC's Green Lantern #26. 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.


Green Lantern #26 - Superior Force


Still in disarray after the events of “LIGHTS OUT,” Hal and Kilowog struggle to enforce the Corps’ new directive against Star Sapphire Nol-Anj! Having revealed a command of the Violet light unlike any the Corps has encountered before, Hal makes an earth-shaking decision. Is his win-at-all-costs attitude exactly the kind of leadership the Corps needs, or is he walking them into their next trap?

Force


Hal Jordan and Kilowog are stuck between Prixiam Nol-Anj and her heavily armed clannsmen, so Hal calls for help in the form of all Green Lanterns. A bit desperate, sure, but it gets the job done: the Corps and even Mogo itself arrived to pacify their adversaries. As for those Corpsmen who refuse to use their rings, their hand-to-hand combat skills came in handy. Anyway, Hal and crew realize that they can’t leave Nol-Anj with a ring, and her people will right to the death. So, they make a deal: Nol-Anj gives up her Star Sapphire ring, but she goes free while her lieutenants are arrested. However, Nol-Anj knows that rings deplete the emotional reservoir, and she plans to tell everyone that ring-wielders of all colors are damaging the universe. Nearby, a local kid and his friend shapeshift into some familiar foes, pleased that their plans are moving forward as expected.

Not too bad of an issue, though Hal calling in any and all available Green Lanterns was a bit of a stretch. The resolution of the situation, though, I did like a lot. It proves that a power ring can’t solve everything, and there’s no black and white when it comes to complicated problems like this one. I also like that Hal tried to act like he was in complete control when he set Nol-Anj free, but if she starts spreading the truth about the rings, even allied races will begin distrusting Green Lanterns. That could set up some very interesting political conflicts down the road!

Bringing back to the rogue Durlans (if they’re really that species) from Green Lantern Corps was a great move, too. Their plans got sidetracked by “Lights Out,” but I’m much more interested in their story than another big crossover. If this plays out in Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps alone, I’ll be happy.
