"We're excited to be able to combine Marvel's stable of characters with our combat-dial game," said Jordan Weisman, WizKids owner and founder. "Marvel HeroClix is a great game that's easy-to-learn, fun to play, and features beautifully painted miniatures of many of the best Marvel Comics' characters."

"Marvel HeroClix is a game about super-heroic action," said Jim Long, Design Director. "It's action packed and includes superpowers that let your characters fly, bash your enemies with lamp posts, knock them around, and a bunch of other special abilities. Plus it does all of this in a game that's fast and interesting, but easy enough for anyone to play."

Learn more about Marvel HeroClix online at www.wizkidsgames.com (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/). The game will be supported with organized play at conventions and in-store tournaments as well as an expansion later in the year that includes more Marvel Comics characters.

The Marvel HeroClix: Infinity Challenge game is available in starter sets that contain eight Marvel Comics' miniatures and everything you need to play for $19.95, and booster packs that contain four miniatures for $6.95.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know the current status of the game? I would greatly appreciate it if somebody decided to let me know what was going on.

I am glad that I was able to amuse you. I think everyone needs to be kept in the loop at some point or another. Curiosity does tend to get the better of the fans, you know. Seriously, though - I don't mind the teasing. I'm pretty much used to it by now.
