DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game Lex Luthor redefines “power suit.”

LEX LUTHOR

Since childhood, Lex Luthor refused to let anything stand between him and what he desired. Though born to wealth and status, Luthor wanted always wanted more, building a path to power paved with suspicions, accusations, and corpses. In the Blackest Night, Luthor refused to aid past allies and strived only to save himself and what belonged to him–proving himself the perfect candidate for a greed-fueled orange power ring!

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more – reserve your copy at your local retailer!

DC Heroclix Blackest Night Mera and Hal Jordan

A couple of weeks ago I saw some Marvel Heroclix at Toys R Us – these were the first Heroclix toys I’ve seen at retail since NECA acquired WizKids and the Heroclix licenses, and it was good to see some new stuff. But the announcement of a Blackest Night Starter Kit promises some great things to come. They’ll be announcing figures all week, and the reveal of Mera as a Red Lantern is sure to generate some rage in the collector community.

I’m not a collector of these, but I do appreciate the level of detail that NECA is achieving with these now – this starter kit will feature figures sculpted digitally, with great results.

Rage

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game previews continue with Mera!

Queen of Atlantis and wife to Aquaman, Mera rallied her people in the wake of a planetwide crisis and became the leader of a rebel army determined to take vengeance for the destruction of Atlantis and the death of Aquaman. After the battle was won, she agreed to have the body of Aquaman moved to Atlantis…only to find he had risen from the grave as a Black Lantern. The desecration of the man she loved ignited a new fury in Mera, leading her to the front lines of the battle against the Black Lanterns and the Blackest Night…and earning her a place in the rage-powered Red Lantern Corps!

Blackest Night Rings Preorders End November 5

Reposting this as a reminder for folks who are looking for an easy way to get all the Blackest Night Lantern Rings. The pre-order deadlines at TFAW.com for a couple of the comics is November 5.

Collect All Seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings!

If you’re a Green Lantern fan, you know all about Blackest Night, the biggest DC Comics crossover event of the year. But did you know you can collect a complete set of seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings when you buy the comics below?

You have two choices for each issue: either buy just the comic, or choose the comic with ring package. The rings are free, but you will incur a small price jump in shipping (most U.S. customers will see only a $.50 or $1.00 difference) because we can’t ship the rings in a flat package.

Did Your Local Comic Book Store Sell Out of Blackest Night Series 1?

I was a little late getting to my local comic book store today, and was disappointed that they had sold out of the Blackest Night Series 1 figures. I decided to look for them online, and found them at TFAW.com – my requirement was that I didn’t want to buy the full set of four figures, because as cool as the Black Lantern Superman is, I think he’s a little too big to fit in with my DC Universe Classics, and I’m not a fan of figures that are pre-posed.

Be sure to take advantage of one of their check out promotion codes – which one is better will depend on how much you’re buying, so try both. They’re good until the end of the month.

HAUNTING – no domestic shipping charges on in-stock purchases over $27

DCD Blackest Night Series 1 Preview – Newsarama

Newsarama has a preview of the first series of DCD’s Blackest Night figures, due at your local comic book stores next Wednesday. Although I’ve only cherry-picked DCD in the past, I may be picking up all of these. I’m a sucker for Green Lantern stuff, and while my primary collection is DC Universe Classics, it helps that these are all aliens, making scale differences forgivable.

DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Atrocitus

DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Boodikka

DCD Blackest Night Series 1 – Earth 2 Superman

I really think that this is going to be a big winner for DC Direct. There’s obvious visual appeal, there’s the popularity of the current story, and there’s the fact that it digs deep in support of the universe. Newer characters abound, and Arisia gets represented in the third assortment. If you’re into DC Direct overall, you’re going to want these. If you’re really into Blackest Night, you’ll probably want these. Things may be dark in the DCU, but it looks pretty bright for DCD in the near term.
