The Brave and The Bold: new heroclix set

The new set for Heroclix came out a few days ago: The Brave and The Bold! This DC set revolves around the current DC event: Blackest Night. Duo figures are in high gear here, making up 14 of the 59 figures. This is also the first set to introduce Alter Egos. Enter the game as bumbling Clark Kent and win the game as Superman! The REV style figure somewhat return (though I'm not a big fan to be honest).
Some Friends and I bought a few packs (a brick essentially) and were not disappointed! of the first 6 bought (3 for me, 2 for Mark, and 1 for the store) 5 were super rares! I managed to pull the Shazam/Black Adams duo, which is the first to let you use it as a duo (at 280 pts) or choose to play Black adams or Shazam separately (at 140 ea). I also pulled Mr Miracle and.... his dwarf friend while Mark pulled the Flashes and Booster Gold/Blue Beetle and the story pulled Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn. The figures, stat wise, seem to be amazing! though most of the sculpt seem kind of dull. I haven't had a chance to use them yet (that comes tonight!) but I'll let you know how they stack up!

Save Heroclix!

So as my first real blog-thing, I thought, what better topic than saving a timeless piece of art and history: Heroclix! I mean, what is better than getting your ideal, kickass super hero team (such as the X-men, Teen Titans, or zombies) to band together and open a can of whoop ass on another team lead by your girlfriend? That's right. Nothing.

Wizkids is going under and maybe taking heroclix with it. I'm still holding out hope that some other gaming company will buy them out and continue the game (maybe fixing the game b/c it isn't without flaws). I would hate for a game with so much potential to just end! I mean, what other game can you pit the Avengers against the Justice League, Young Avengers against the Teen Titans, and Batman and Robin against Spiderman and Daredevil, not to mention the 100s of classic comic book battles you want to relive over and over?

I've played plenty of mini games, but to me, this is by far the most ingenuitive game out yet! So go buy some starter/booster sets and start battling crime! .... or your little brother... which ever is easier for you.
