Marvel Multiverse Table Top Role-Playing Game - Summer 2023

  A new Marvel TTRPG is heading our way for Summer 2023. I have some really fond memories of the Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying game put out by TSR in the 1980's. It was right along side Dungeons & Dragons as one of my introductory games to ttrpgs. This new game looks to be based purely on a six-sided dice system. The playtest rulebook for the game is available now for anyone who wants to run an early version of the game through its paces before the finalized version comes out next year. I'll admit I'm curious enough make that purchase myself. Here is the official press release from Marvel:  MARVEL LAUNCHING CORE RULEBOOK FOR NEW TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME IN SUMMER 2023   ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: CORE RULEBOOK’ AVAILABLE JUNE 2023   FOLLOWED BY ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: THE CATACLYSM OF KANG’ AVAILABLE JULY 2023     Use the D616 game system to embody your favorite Super Heroes and Super Villains!     New York, NY— August 22, 2022 –  New adventu

My Comic Book Pull List for January 4th, 2012

Action Comics #5 
Grant Morrison - Andy Kubert - Jesse Delpredang
DC Comics
I've been running hot and cold with Superman since DC Comics New 52 Launch. I haven't connected at all with the Superman title or the version of the Man of Steel presented in the Justice League comic, but I'm really digging the chronicles of his early days in Metropolis as detailed in this book. Grant Morrison has done a superb job reintroducing us to Lex Luthor, Brainiac,  Lois Lane, and all of the characters in Superman's life. It's been a comic I look forward to. Since All Star Superman was my favorite run of Superman before this one I'm not at all surprised by my enjoyment of Grant Morrison's work on this title.

Fatale #1
Ed Brubaker - Sean Phillips
Image Comics
A mixture of mobsters and demons in a crime noir style written by Ed Brubaker and art by Sean Phillips. Sign me up!

Avengers: X-Sanction #2 of 4
Jeph Loeb - Ed McGuinness
Marvel Comics
I love the Avengers and I'm a fan of Ed McGuinness' artwork. But I can't stand Cable. Nonetheless, I'm reading this because its going to lead into a larger event this year. Cable is back from the timestream with 24 hours to take out the Avengers before the technovirus claims him. Last issue he took down Capt. America, this issue he's after Iron Man. What trick could Cable have hidden in those many pockets and pouches he wears to take out Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Batwing #5
Judd Winick - Ben Oliver
DC Comics
The artwork and story in this book have been amazing. Super vigilante action in Africa while Batwing tries to take down one bad-ass assassin by the name of Massacre as he kills off members of the Kingdom, Africa's once supreme superhero team. This title has been consistently a quality experience, and shouldn't be over looked.

The Defenders #2
Matt Fraction - Terry Dodson
Marvel Comics
I loved the first issue, I'm hoping for more to love in issue #2. At the very least its a book full of Dodson artwork.

I'll also be picking up Animal Man and Swamp Thing this week, but enough has been written about these books by others. They are shining examples of super hero/horror comic books. Valen the Outcast #2 and Peanuts #1 from Boom! will also be on my list. But I just professed my love of those books in the previous entry.
