Posted on by Leave a comment

At Adepticon 2023, Atomic Mass Games revealed a lot of what’s coming for Marvel: Crisis Protocol. There were quite a few surprises as well as a lot of characters that players had hoped for.

Photos are from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol Facebook group and we’ll update as official images are released.

X-Men

The X-Men have a bit of old and new with multiple releases and varied characters. Mainly focused on the X-Men themselves, we also get one villain. Revealed were Professor X, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Bishop, Nightcrawler, and Shadow King.

Bishop and Professor X come with some options for heads that look interesting and it looks like Nightcrawler comes with and without his swords.

Black Panther!

There was a focus on expanding the world of Wakanda with multiple reveals including scenery and a new rivals set… which features scenery. M’Baku and Klaw are getting a release with M’Baku featuring more of a look from the movie universe. Klaw is a more traditional look for the character.

There was a bunch of new scenery shown off to help build out your Wakanda boards. And, a new “rivals” pack featuring Black Panther and Killmonger (sporting a look from the film) was shown off which also features some impressive scenery.

Cosmic Ghost Rider and a new Ultron!

In one of the bigger surprises, Cosmic Ghost Rider was revealed for the game. The Punisher and Ghost Rider are currently playable but the inclusion of a relatively new character was a bit out of left field.

A new Ultron was also shown off, this one featuring Ultron drones as well. The release is the continuation of the new rules we’ve seen for the inclusion of figures representing low-level members of Shield, Hydra, and the Hand.

Along with the characters, a look at the cards for Squirrel Girl and Gwenpool were also shown off.

Beta Ray Bill and Ulik are coming to Marvel: Crisis Protocol

Posted on by Leave a comment

Atomic Mass Games has been teasing some of what we can expect for Marvel: Crisis Protocol in 2023. The latest two reveals will add some muscle to the Asgardians (and others). Beta Ray Bill and Ulik will be coming to the tabletop.

Beta Ray Bill debuted in The Mighty Thor #337 in 1983 and was created by Walt Simonson. The character has allied with the Asgardians but has also been a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, another affiliation in the game. It’s unknown who Beta Ray Bill will be able to join but Asgard is at least one of them.

Ulik was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Debuting in Thor #137 in 1967, the character has superhuman strength, stamina, and is good in close combat. A villain, the character will likely be in the Asgard affiliation and maybe Cabal. But, with Malekith, Loki, Enchatress, and Skurge, maybe we’ll see a new faction of “Asgardian” villains.

Agent Venom and Spider-Woman revealed for Marvel: Crisis Protocol

Posted on by Leave a comment

Yesterday, Atomic Mass Games teased two new characters coming to the Marvel: Crisis Protocol miniature game. Today, we get an official look at Agent Venom and Spider-Woman.

Both will likely be members of the “Web Warriors” affiliation but there’s a possibility for others for both such as Guardians of the Galaxy for Agent Venom and SHIELD for Spider-Woman.

Agent Venom is Flash Thompson bonded with a symbiote. The character debuted in 2011 in The Amazing Spider-Man #654 eventually getting his own series.

Spider-Woman, aka Jessica Drew, first appeared in 1977 in Marvel Spotlight #32 and was created by Marie Severin and Archie Goodwin.

Atomic Mass Games teases two for Marvel Crisis Protocol

Posted on by Leave a comment

Atomic Mass Games posted a teaser image of two upcoming releases for Marvel: Crisis Protocol. For comic fans, it might be an easy one to figure out.

On the right, based on the webbing under the arm and hair, is likely Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman.

On the left, is Flash Thompson aka Agent Venom with the tendrils holding guns. It’s also possible this is the Anti-Venom version too.

The pack is a combo that makes sense as both should be a part of the “Web Warrior” affiliation. Agent Venom has also been a member of Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Woman has been an Agent of SHIELD. There’s a lot of potential with this one!
