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

Out of Respect for Aurora Victims, Batman Incorporated Issue #3 Held Back For A Month

Yesterday retailers were given notice that Batman Incorporated, Issue #3 which was expected to hit stands this Wednesday July 25th, will be be held back for a month. The reason stated is that this is due to content in the issue that would be considered insensitive so soon after the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado during the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.

I don't know exactly what content or imagery is being referred to since I don't have any advanced viewing of this book, but I think its an excellent judgement call on DC Comics part. Batman Incorporated is one of the few DC New 52 books I'm digging right now, so I'm bummed about the additional wait, while at the same completely respecting the reasons.
