Good review. Good, quick explanation of the new mechanics and good job pointing out the differences in the artwork. I knew there was something odd about the cards. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was until you mentioned it and then it all made sense. Thank you for the review.

No more background music that cover your voice...awesome job Mike

Good review. Couple suggestions would be to bring the camera and mike in closer so there's not this medium-distance shot of standing in front of a large blank area. Second, I would tend to think spoiler warnings are unnecessary in a review unless the game features some kind of story. It's assumed that reviews will discuss the game's contents.

This is a "holy grail" for me. I know it's OOP and super expensive. Maybe they will reprint one day :'(

as far as the art style changes, i think it really fits the comic book feel of the game. every title has a unique art style and that comes through in this game. my only complaint with the base set of this game, is that the heroes in the base game only have 2 pics per hero. the epic card for each hero is unique, but the rest of the set for say spiderman is identical. they fixed this in dark city, giving you multiple poses and more artwork per hero deck. they follow through with that in this expansion with multiple shots for each hero, and again a different art style reminiscent of actual comic titles. i look forward to the next expansion. and i hope that i finally beat galactus before it comes out lol.

if we attack galactus, and i play strength cards.(i have another 3 strength cards in hand) do i count cosmic effect only in the hand? or also include the card that i just played?

just out of curiosity for the Focus demo with silver surfer, wouldnt you play the three cards with recruit points first so you can double 8 .. and make it 16 recruit ?
