The game I once championed and thought gone is reasserting itself as fiercely as freshly powered Green Lanterns. The figure here of Hal Jordan comes from the upcoming Blackest Night starter set, which ties into the massively successful DC Comics storyline. That marks the game's big May release. Before that? The Brave and The Bold, a fresh set that introduces many neat concepts like "alter egos," hits stores in April.The greatest surprise, though, is the Watchmen set slated for release this summer. Based on last year's film, this boxed set includes 25 figures and will be released alongside a Dr. Manhattan colossal figure that stands 14 inches tall. This ingenious move should reignite the interest of many lapsed players. Imagine the fun of pitting the Watchmen characters against the Charlton Comics characters that inspired them. Nite Owl outmaneuvering Blue Beetle? Rorschach punching The Question? Yes, please!
Having previously sold my HeroClix figures, I won't be joining this battle, but I wish WizKids/NECA the best in this endeavor. Trying to bounce back from near defeat is something to which I can relate.
