Wow, that Superman looks insane.

One character shines alone like a beacon across the history of comics. An infallible symbol of duty, honor and integrity, no comic character better captures the spirit of comics’ Golden Age than the Last Son of Krypton, Superman. A bastion of comics history and a piece of Americana, Golden Age Superman is replicated in signature Action Comics form in DC HeroClix: 75th Anniversary. In addition to the Man of Steel, DC HeroClix: 75 Anniversary also features numerous other Golden Age paragons. Charging into booster packs is an iconic Super Rare Wonder Woman, harkening back to the first issues of the crusading Amazon warrior.

Classic comics fans also will appreciate appearances by historically significant heroes that reach beyond the megastars of the DC Universe. Representative of the era of enigmatic, masked crimefighters of the 1930s, the Crimson Avenger touches upon one of the many aspects of pulp history captured in DC75. On a much different end of the comic spectrum, Sgt. Rock delivers the gritty war realism from popular comics of the 1950s and early ‘60s. An outstanding and fearless leader of soldiers, the Sarge is sure to be a fixture of many HeroClix forces.

Exciting comics history isn’t just relegated to the Golden Age. What about unforgettable moments from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s? While they are a part of “recent history,” stories like Knightfall and the Death of Superman shook comics to their core.

While this release highlights many classic comics characters, new comic collectors and Clix players also will be delighted to see characters from DC’s exciting present. No present storyline delivers more punch than Brightest Day, and the incredibly popular HeroClix Buy-It-By-The-Brick program for DC75 features one of the most important characters from that very storyline. By purchasing ten boosters of DC75 “by the brick,” HeroClix fans can get an exclusive copy of White Lantern Sinestro. With an amazing sculpt and exciting abilities, Sinestro cleaves through evil.


Sinestro does not stand alone, however. Brightest Day White Lantern Corps characters make their debuts in DC75. These special characters combine traditional attributes of iconic DC characters with the unique aspects of the White Lantern Corps, creating truly original pieces.

From the celebrated classics of the 1930s through the lush images and heart-pounding stories of modern comics, DC75’s scope is ambitious and its impact is sure to be felt throughout the gaming community.

New Bane! Doomsday with a...stick up his rear or something!

New Bane!

I'm on a horse Wonder Woman!

Bane!

Wonder Woman rode a kangaroo named Jumpa back in the Golden Age. I guess I should still be working on that mod.

WOW!

That is absolutely amazing. Must have Bane breaking the Bat.

Wait... they mentioned Crimson Avenger. Sheer awesome.

Wonder Woman is riding a pony!!!!!!

I'm even willing to ignore the seeming lack of Venom tubes on Bane!

'Cause it's a new Bane!

And he's been making an effort to quit the stuff!

Jeeze, read Secret Six much?

He's breaking Batman!

...this isn't one of those "make a deal with the devil and you lose your Venom tubes" things, is it?

I think I just wet myself a little. Can we skip the other sets and go straight to this one?

Bane and Doomsday? Uhhhh...yeah. Yeah, I'm in.

Yeah, but this is "Knightfall" Bane, which means he should be strung out on drugs. 'Cause drugs can help you perform better and break your opponents.

No, that's just a Batman blow-up doll Bane plays with. Jeeze, kids these days!

Riding a white pony at that! you go girl!
