WizKids, the makers of Mage Knight, has announced that they will be making a new line of collectible miniatures based on the characters that grace the pages of some of the best comics in the world. A multitude of characters from the DC Universe and the Wildstorm Universe will be made into pre-painted, 3-D miniatures. Soon Superman and Batman will be able to battle the Joker and Bizarro on the tabletop.

The characters will feature the combat dial like regular Mage Knight figures, but no word yet if the rules will be changed to accommodate the induction of super-powered slugfests. It is also unknown how the rarity of some figures will play a part in the distribution of figures in booster packs and starters. The new DC Comics collectible miniatures game is slated to be out in Spring of 2002 and will feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Authority, WildC.A.T.S. and many others.

I personally can't wait to get some of the figures and to be able to use terrain like an abandoned car or a fallen light post as weapons, if this is covered in the rules (hope, hope). Currently, it is too soon for us to be able to take preorders, but as soon as we can, they will be up on our site. If you want to be placed on a mailing list that will inform you of our preorders, and also of any contests or specials we may have, register on our website and email will be sent out to you as soon as we place them up for preorder on our page.
