SEATTLE, WA - WizKids, LLC is proud to announce their new collectable miniatures game, Marvel HeroClix: Infinity Challenge, will be available nationwide beginning May 1, 2002 to coincide with the release of the Spider-Man motion picture.

"We're excited to be able to combine Marvel's stable of characters with our combat-dial game," said Jordan Weisman, WizKids owner and founder. "Marvel HeroClix is a great game that's easy-to-learn, fun to play, and features beautifully painted miniatures of many of the best Marvel Comics' characters."

Wolverine

"Marvel HeroClix is a game about super-heroic action," said Jim Long, Design Director. "It's action packed and includes superpowers that let your characters fly, bash your enemies with lamp posts, knock them around, and a bunch of other special abilities. Plus it does all of this in a game that's fast and interesting, but easy enough for anyone to play."

The Hulk

The game will be supported with organized play at conventions and in-store tournaments as well as an expansion later in the year that includes more Marvel Comics characters.
