A busy week worth of updates.

While I've been having a very busy time at both work and home (all very good, though), Wizkids has been dazzling the interwebs with a ton of news.

Information about the Watchmen set continues to come in from Wizkids and Alliance.

The Brightest Day set is coming at us (and is a mere $24.99).

And Web of Spider-man is coming down the pipes with a reprint of the Fantastic Four Starter wit the new updated rules.

For the tournament scene we have a big change to a strategy favorite Special Object Structural Integrity Field.

Structural Integrity Field 

0 points

Blocking terrain (but not blocking terrain markers) and walls 6 or fewer squares from this object can’t be destroyed.

Plus, today We get an updated set of Players Guides AND our introduction to Alternate Team Abilities!

I would suggest that everyone planning on attending origins or Gen-Con study up sooner rather than later!  (Very soon for Origins since it is NEXT WEEKEND!)  Also remember that the Rules from Blackest Night as well ass the material from the Players Guide and the Print and Play ATAs are legal as of posting so keep that in mind at this weekend's events!

And about those ATA's look below!

              

After the Blackest Night, comes the Brightest Day!

Jonah Hex Three packs due out in August.

Wizkids' Chas DeLong and Justin Ziran confirmed today that there is in fact a HeroClix tie-in with the Jonah Hex movie out this summer.

In August we'll see a three pack of characters including the titular protagonist as portrayed by Josh Brolin and his companion, Leila, as portrayed by Megan Fox. And the villainous Turnbull, played by John Malkovich.

Sadley, Wil Arnet is left out of the Clix inception...maybe next time G.O.B, maybe next time.
