Pick Your Pickle and Prepare for Puns: Pickleball's Board Game Just Launched. A fast, fun, irreverent board game that celebrates the joy of Pickleball. Fans of silly puns, pickles, and fast-paced games alike have a new game to add to their list of must-haves: HotShot Pickleball. This delightful card-drawing board game is quick to learn and gives a surprising amount of opportunity to lightly strategize as you race to the ball and attempt to hit it back over the net to your opponent. The debut release from indie studio Midnight Trading Co., HotShot Pickleball was made while game designer Robert Gelb was recovering from an Achilles injury sustained, ironically, by playing Pickleball. For those who haven’t heard of pickleball, it's the fastest-growing sport in the world, with over 32 million players last year. HotShot Pickleball is a lively, family-friendly game that combines the fun of the sport with a cast of quirky, pickle-themed characters like Stew Cumber, Kim Chee, and Corni...

The Ravagers #6 - ...Engage! Review

The Ravagers #6 Review


Cover - 4/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the cover portray what happens in the issue?


Art - 5/5

- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

Color/Ink - 5/5

- Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?


Layout - 5/5

- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?


Story - 4/5

- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story arc? How well did the issue further develop the characters?


Verdict - 4.6

- What I think: I'm not sure about this cover, while seeing Superboy destroy stuff is always a attention grab, the tagline along with the events don't exactly happen as such. I enjoy the art and overall look of the book. I did however have an issue with continuity as I did with Superboy #14 - The Face of H'el and Legion Lost #14 - Desperate Times in the fact that I would assume these events take place first. The issue is compounded by the fact that it is mentioned in Legion Lost that Terra and Thunder are healing, and this issue wasn't a one-off story but will continue next week. With that said I really enjoyed the issue. We get to see some character development. First we find the Ravagers training to use their powers, but it seems the only one capable of handling themselves is the weapon designed to take them out (Superboy). We also discover that Tim Drake (Red Robin) has a stake in what happens to the Ravagers. The Ravagers eventually take a break and visit Venice Beach, but soon comes to a halt when word comes that a little girl with Metahuman abilities is being sought by N.O.W.H.E.R.E.. The Ravagers rush to her rescue only to be stopped by two new Ravagers in training Bright Eyes and Windshear. Superboy could probably take them out solo, but Caitlin Fairchild order him to stop, and let the rest of the team handle it. They overcome only to be confronted by their teachers Rose Wilson, Warblade, and Leash. Can't wait to see the next issue and find out what happens to Terra and Thunder (now that Legion let it out they get seriously injured).
