There’s been some cool tie-ins for the current DC event Blackest Night.  To me the Lantern rings take the cake as the best, some would argue the toys that’ve been released deserve the prize.  Wizkids will be giving those a run for their money with the release of a line of their Heroclix game based on the comic books.

The War of the Light comes to HeroClix with the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game! As the Blackest Night encompasses the world, heroes and villains alike are deputized into the Lantern Corps to fight back against the legions of Black Lanterns. Choose a team of lanterns and take them into battle! This starter game includes everything a player needs to play HeroClix, including figures, map, rules and more. The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in stores May 12, 2010.

Contents:
◊ Seven 3D HeroClix miniatures, each with a character card (Green Lantern – Hal Jordan, Lex  Luthor, Mera, Scarecrow, Wonder Woman, The Flash and The Atom in their  deputy lantern costumes)
◊ All-new Green Lantern Sciencells Map
◊ 2010 HeroClix Complete Rulebook
◊ Six Object Tokens
◊ Twelve Terrain Markers
◊ Two 6-sided dice

The idea of the new deputized Lanterns will make this worth being picked up.  Some pictures of what we can expect are below.
