We leave for the USA just after midnight Wednesday night (Thursday morning, technically). That leaves the rest of tonight, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to get through the rest of the unread comics stack. Challenge accepted!
That's fifteen comics to go. Definitely doable.
Starting off here with a quick one. This almost certainly came off of a freebies table at a con, but I have no idea beyond that of where and when I acquired it.
Title: Collateral Damage: The Manga
Publisher: Gozer Games
This is essentially just an advertisement, in minicomic form, for the Collateral Damage boardgame, which is a game of fighting for control of cities amidst a background of familiar anime tropes.
The comic summarizes and illustrates the boardgame, taking the reader through the turn sequence. It does not give the complete rules in detail, but it does a
good job of getting the flow of the game across to the reader.
Aside from the fact that the game's romantic elements seem to be restricted to a cis straight perspective, the game sounds amusing and entertaining. The designers have a good feel for the flow of an anime story, and the game design looks good (as much as I could tell without actually playing),
The artwork is fun, with the expected anime visual clichés in full display.
Since it really is just an advertisement, this minicomic doesn't do much in terms of story, but it does a reasonable job of selling the product it was meant to sell.
Rating: 5/10
