Super Heroes

I actually watched Thor: Ragnarok last weekend. First Marvel movie I've seen since Iron Man 3. It was a pretty good flick. And, of course, if you're more interested in Marvel stuff than I am, you might be a HeroClix player. And if you're a HeroClix player, then you'll want to know that Secret Wars: Battleworld is now available.

Also King Shark, because we just passed Shark Week. They are also taking orders for their show-exclusive miniatures, which include Batman (Nightmare) and Luna Lovegood in her lion hat.

WizKids has announced Marvel Strike Teams, a new HeroClix game. Instead of having just your own team you build and fight against your opponent, this is a one-vs-many game with one player in charge of the forces of evil and their nefarious plans, while the other players are in charge of the titular Strike Teams.

The DC Deck-Building Game is getting a new expansion. This one is Crossover Pack 7: New Gods. In it, players can take on the role of one of the New Gods, both heroes and villains. Want to ride around on your little glider-thingie as Orion? You can. Maybe you prefer some long, silvery locks as Granny Goodness. Go for it. Or, be eternally looking for some moisturizing skin cream as Darkseid. The new set will be available on July 11th.

A new batch of Batman Miniatures Game/DC Universe Miniatures Game releases are now available from Knight Models. While there's a new regular Batman, this set of releases has a decidedly villainous slant, with Lexcorp, Dark Knights, and other "maybe I don't want to meet these folks in a dark alley" kind of vibe.

Hellboy has gone on all sorts of adventures, hunting down strange creatures, spirits, and deities all over the world. In particular, he's had some adventures South of the border, down Mexico way. As part of the Hellboy board game Kickstarter, Mantic has decided to toss a new expansion into the ring. If you ever wanted Luchadore-Hellboy, now's your chance. However, it's only available during the Kickstarter, so this add-on is a "now or never" deal.

I, like a lot of people out there, loved the Batman animated series. Great characters. Great story. Great animation. Great voiceover work. Soon, IDW will be bringing that world to our tabletops with the Batman: The Animated Series – Gotham Under Siege board game.

Ah, the Roaring 20s. Mobsters, bootleggers, tommy-guns, and super-powered gangsters. What? You don't remember that? Well, maybe I'm just thinking of Capers, a new RPG that's up on Kickstarter. Capers isn't quite your standard superhero RPG. Instead of futuristic cities, you'll be playing in the rough and tumble times of the 1920s. Grab your flapper dress and best pinstripe suit.

Knight Models is leading off the day with a whole slew of new minis for the Batman Minis Game and the DC Universe Miniatures Game (since, y'know, figs come with rules for both games). There's good guys. There's bad guys. There's a bit of something for everyone.

A new set is in the works for HeroClix. For this one, they head to one of the most iconic characters and the school they founded. Xavier's School for the Gifted gives mutants a place to learn about their powers in a safe environment (well, safe when it's not being attacked by supervillains, anyway). It's also the home base for the X-Men. Get a look at some of the characters that'll be coming in the set with this preview.

Well, check out the new preview that WizKids posted and see for yourself.

You can pick up your copy now (spandex outfit and cape sold separately).
