Toy Fair showed some new HeroClix that WizKids will be coming out with this year. One of the new license that WizKids picked up was for the Kick-Ass 2 Movie. The projected release date for them is for June 28.
WizKids has introduced a new dynamic to their HeroClix brand. Starting with the Batman: Gotham City Strategy Game will have interchangeable dials. Two sets will come with the game and the players get to choose which dial they want to play the game with. Then in Spring of 2013, Teen Titans HeroClix will be released with the SwitchClix dials and then in the Summer of 2013 the Wolverine and the X-Men will be released with the same game features. This will probably be the standard from this point on, if I was guessing. Thanks to ICv2 for the information.
WizKids is having a DC HeroClix’s event. The event revolves around the Batman storyline “No Man’s Land”.

Therefore, your library’s gaming fans might want to hit their local hobby store and see if they can reserve a set. This would even be a cool set to use as a give-away if your library sponsors gaming tournaments with HeroClix.
