I was never that big into Super Heroes so I would never thought to have played this game in any form.
But It's good to see things can thrive even if you don't see them. Like fungus or herpes.
Needless to say, I don't play Heroclix anymore.

HeroClix Online expands with Thor and Green Lantern
I've somehow managed to forget that the HeroClix tabletop game existed. In the time since I last pondered the hero-centric miniatures game, they've apparently launched HeroClix Online. I'll have to start looking into that in the future, but for now you should know that, if you're a fan of the game, they've made a few changes. Marvel's Hammer of Thor Fast Forces and DC's Green Lantern Fast Forces sets add Thor, Fandral, Hogun,Volstagg, Asgardian Brawler, Loki, Green Lantern, Kilowog, Tomar-Re, Sinestro, Guardians of the Universe and Abin Sur to the online mix. Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, also makes an appearance as a special in-game item. The Green lantern Gravity Feed set, which includes Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Tomar-Re, Sinestro, Ganthet, Abin Sur, R’amey Holl, Salaak and Boodikka, will be launching the "Figure of the Week" program where individual figures will be sold at a reduced price. This promotion will run through March 21. If you're already entrenched in the game, this content is available now in both figure and digital form. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Me and my buddy tried to get into the tabletop, but both stopped when we could never find the characters we wanted. But now I think ill check into it again. I played the tabletop game for about 2 weeks then my friends and I stopped when we realized our hearts weren't in it. Sold my clix years ago. Wish I would've kept my Thanos heroclix though. That one was swell. I've also forgot HeroClix existed.
I was never that big into Super Heroes so I would never thought to have played this game in any form. But It's good to see things can thrive even if you don't see them. Like fungus or herpes. I like some of the figures from the tabletop game but actually playing the game means that I'd have to deal with my roommate who is the Heroclix judge at the local comic book store AND someone who will make up his own rules (and spend tons of money on super-powerful figures that can one-shot everything people throw at him) to win.
Needless to say, I don't play Heroclix anymore. What everyone else said. I played Heroclix in Middle School. That is, until my rich friend's Mom bought 30 boxes for him, and the game was ruined for our whole group. 7:00 PM on 04.24.2013 BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia rulebook postedWe first heard about BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia just a few weeks ago, and this week, Plaid Hat Games has released a PDF of the game's rulebook for your perusal.
