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

Early Preview of @ImageComics Tooth & Claw #1 @KurtBusiek @BenjaminDewey @whoajordie


TOOTH & CLAW ATTACKS THIS NOVEMBER

The Image Expo-announced new series from Kurt Busiek & Benjamin Dewey


TOOTH & CLAW, the exciting new series from bestselling writer Kurt Busiek (Marvels, Astro City), artist Benjamin Dewey (I Was the Cat, Tragedy Series), Eisner-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire (THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, PRETTY DEADLY), and letterer John Roshell of Comicraft that was announced at Image Expo in July, will launch on November 5.


The highly anticipated fantasy epic can best be described as Conan meets Kamandi with a Game of Thrones-style storytelling experience. In TOOTH & CLAW, a secret conclave of wizards brings a legendary champion forward through time from the forgotten past to save the world—with disastrous consequences. Featuring swords, sorcery, beast-wizards, gods, sprawling animal empires, golems of radioactive decay, crystalline badlands, con women, ancient armories, young love, mystery, blood and death and treachery and destiny… TOOTH & CLAW is the sprawling, world-building fantasy series readers have been waiting for.

And while the emphasis is on adventure, exploration and a simmering conflict that'll set the world's most revered hero against the gods themselves, the adventurers won't be the only ones breaking new ground. TOOTH & CLAW is Busiek's first Mature Readers series, and he's looking forward to the freedom it offers.

In an exclusive interview with Comic Book Resources, Busiek said, “When Cary Nord and I did Conan, and when Carlos Pacheco and I did Arrowsmith, we kept bumping up against the mature-readers line, and several times had to have the colorist obscure things to avoid nudity or gore or whatever. So on this series, I went in knowing it was going to be a brutal world, where the violence was important, and where I didn't want to tease nudity the way we had to in Conan—I wanted to do the story the way it felt right to me, and if that added up to mature readers, then so be it.

"So the horizon's wide open," he added, "and we'll go wherever the story takes us. It's a series I've been itching to write for years, and it's the book Ben Dewey was born to draw, and we can't wait for it to hit the stands."

TOOTH & CLAW #1 will be available on 11/5 as a double-sized 44 page issue with no ads for only $2.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code SEP140540.
