Image
Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "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!

Quick Reviews: Marvel's Scarlet Spider, Secret Avengers, Ultimates & Venom

Secret Avengers #35 CoverScarlet Spider #12.1 CoverUltimates #19 Cover

I'm still trying to catch up on reading as you can tell I'm about 5 months behind, and it has become clear that writing full reviews while I do that is a little tough. I did the math and I would have to read and review 10 comics a day and that would allow me to catch up in about 3 months. So to speed things up I will be posting a few "Quick Reviews". What that means is instead of a my normal review where I rate each area and give my opinion, I will pretty much just be ranking the comic. 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
