Posted on by Leave a comment

I’m super excited for Knight Model‘s upcoming Marvel Universe Miniature Game which will allow us to pit some of Marvel’s most popular characters against each other on the tabletop. We’ve know what would be a part of the first release for some time, but Knight Models has now released a better look at what comes in the first starter sets.

Knight Models has released new images with a better look at the miniatures, the rulebook and how the characters cards will be packed (the same as their Batman Miniature Game).

Can’t wait!
