Number 8 is: Green Lantern (Blackest Night #004) Why he’s a top piece: His opening slot of the grey powers of Running Shot, Telekinesis, Invulnerability and Leadership are all great for both him individually and for the team. Good AV until final click. “Green Willpower” SP makes him pretty push-friendly. Why he’s not higher on […]

Number 10 is: Ch’p (Green Lantern Corps #002 ) Why he’s a top piece: I’ll just quote from my old review from 2006, the year of his debut: “Do you hear that? That squeaking, chattering sound? It’s the chipmunk-like voice of Ch’p here saying: ‘Push me. PUSH MEEEE!’ Ch’p is made to be played on his […]

Heroclixin’ asks: what are the Top Ten Green Lantern Corps in the game? First, some criteria: We’re talking Green Lantern CORPS, not just characters named Green Lantern…they need to have […]

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, today we’re looking at the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan: “Wait!” you say. “He doesn’t have Super Strength!!” And you’d be right. But he does have this nifty little Special Power: “ONE-MAN JUSTICE LEAGUE: Once during your turn, as […]

My pal Lenny recently challenged me to another of our long-running clix duels, in which he picks a favorite theme to pit against one of mine. The last one we did was his Hulks versus my Iron Men. We’ve also done his Guardians of the Galaxy against my Inhumans, his JLA and my Avengers, and […]

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, today we’re looking at the Gorillas of DC 75: Naturally, this also works for Grodd from the same set. (Not Solovar, though…that poindexter has too many mental powers and no Super Strength.) Be back next Tuesday for another edition of Token […]
