Wilde on Heroclix

 Set to release sometime in second quarter of the year, the new Venom set looks to be taking us off the rails. I've made some inquiries, but Wizkids is holding their cards close to their chests. I'm sure we'll see more soon however as this set looks to be a trove of great teasers to come. It's clear we are getting a new Venom Thanos, and I can't wait to see how he differs from the one in Beyond Amazing. If we get to keep Spiderverse through this year's rotation, the crossover for teams could be hot. Even then, what you get for Silver has high potential.  Taking a look at Poison Captain America, I have to say I wish he was an Avenger, but then I didn't read the Venomverse stories. I have to admit I don't know entirely what he's about. I haven't seen these hive figures, but putting out dudes is a decent ability. It works pretty well for figures like Dormammu. Movement and targeting are nice, making attacks flexible with options. Reducing penetratin...

  Credit HC Units She has to be my favorite piece of the most recent X-men set. A true force to be reckoned with. So, today I sing the praises of Prime Rogue. There is one aspect of her, and only one that I don't worry about using that much and that's her ability to steal equipment. I settle for unequipping in lieu of a free +1 longsword. It feels like a best of both worlds sort of thing to give her blades and close combat expert while also messing up equipment. Even if it were something I would like to steal. Then there is that much discussed and beautiful trait: Opposing characters can't choose or target Rogue except for attacks. I've seen a lot of wordy discussion on this for some variant abilities out there that can get around this, but honestly, you don't see it that much in play. At least that's my opinion. The best part of that to me is probability control, outwit, and perplex are all off the table for my opponent. Protection from any one of the three is ...

  I've been playing Heroclix ever since the game came out. I know that isn't all that special, but it's true. This game has had more twists and turns in its functionality than a corn maze in a horror movie. Please know I say that with love. After all, Heroclix is why I don't by comic books anymore. I just can't afford that many vices. Especially with both going up in price like it's a hobby of the hobby to do so. Again, said with love. I'm starting this blog to talk about my favorite game and share things like opinions, team builds, and maybe some interesting future reports if I can get my grubby mitts on them. Today is likes and dislikes of where the game is. I try to be balanced and fair in my observations, but everyone has opinions. Not everyone will like mine.  For one, I love how sculpts are coming out lately with X-men and Strange Tales. They really look great, although one figure in ST leaves me scratching my skull. It might be a weird take, but Blood...
