LRG Games is putting Invincible and The Walking Dead into players’ hands this fall as OverPower TCG: Skybound lands at comic shops and game stores nationwide. It’s the biggest set the company has shipped since bringing OverPower back, and the first time the 30-year-old game has had a wide retail push since the original Marvel/DC era ended.

Skybound brings 36 new playable characters into the Modern format and slots in cleanly alongside Legacy decks for players who’ve been around since the beginning. Birthright and Excellence characters round out the set. As with every OverPower release, the cards are full-art from household names including Jae Lee, Joe Jusko, Marc Silvestri, Philip Tan, and Adam Kubert.

Marking OverPower’s widest retail release in over 30 years, this set will be available at local gaming and comic book stores in the US and Canada — as well as over 900 Best Buy and 1800 GameStop locations nationwide. Local game stores will have retail event support starting with the Top Cow release.

Booster displays, starter deck displays, and Power Card Stations are available for preorder now ahead of the August 28 street date.

This is the set we’ve wanted to make since we bought the company. OverPower’s whole thing is that you’re not watching the fight, you’re in it. Pair that with Invincible and Walking Dead, where the fans already know exactly what it feels like to be inside those stories. This IP was a no brainer.

The OverPower Trading Card Game adds The Few and Cursed

Posted on by

The acclaimed and award-winning comic book series The Few and Cursed joins the epic world of OverPower with two beautifully designed decks ready to be playable right out the box as a standalone expansion!

OverPower first released back in the 90s to be the official TCG of Marvel, DC and Image Comics characters and it was such a success that even after it died out in early 2000s, a passionate community of fans and players kept the game alive for over twenty years.

Cut to a couple of years ago when LRG brought OverPower back with a bang after an incredible Kickstarter campaign, the release of the first set in decades and the very first season with more than $100K in tournament prizes.

Characters like Zorro, Tarzan, the Wicked Witch, Dracula, Leonidas, Cthulhu & more battled it out in epic matches by an engaged community that lives and breathes OverPower.

And the future is bright with characters from Skybound joining OverPower in the Summer featuring fan-favorite characters from Invincible, Walking Dead & more! Get ready to put the Redhead right next to Battle Beast and build the perfect combat deck.

Whether you’re a seasoned fan longing for the nostalgia of the original game or a new player eager to dive into epic battles, OverPower promises an unparalleled gaming experience.

The crowdfunding campaign is fully funded and runs until April 30 2026 11:59 PM EDT.

SDCC 2025: OverPower brings Skybound, Top Cow, and Edgar Rice Burroughs to CCGs and SDCC

Posted on by

Lazarus Rising Games (LRG) will showcase OverPower and its bevy of new elements and stunning artwork at Comic-Con International in San Diego as the popular 1990s collectible card game continues its impressive resurgence. 

OverPower will be featured over the renowned July 24-27 pop culture weekend in both an engaging panel, and an interactive booth on the convention floor. The panel, entitled “OverPower Rising: Bringing Skybound, Top Cow & Edgar Rice Burroughs to CCGs!,” will take place on Saturday, July 26 from 1:45-2:45pm in the 1,000-seat Ballroom 6DE of the San Diego Convention Center.

LRG’s OverPower convention floor space will be located in Booth #2629, and activities at the booth will feature game exhibitions, game-play merchandise (full decks, booster packs, booster boxes, power card stations, starter decks, hats, beanies), and Comic-Con exclusive giveaways – including a limited edition single-player game mat featuring never-before-seen artwork by Raymond Gay of The Darkness, and a special advance promo card from OverPower’s Invincible/Skybound-themed set coming in 2026. The Invincible card – showcasing the titular character Mark Grayson as Invincible – has been created by celebrated artist Philip Tan. 

OverPower Rising: Bringing Skybound, Top Cow & Edgar Rice Burroughs to CCGs!

Saturday, July 26 from 1:45-2:45pm
Room 6DE

In 1995, Fleer launched OverPower to an intensely rabid fanbase, quickly creating a competitive community that spanned the world. Unlike most CCGs of its time, OverPower offered a distinctly different approach to strategy and structure. Though the game was discontinued at the height of its popularity in the late 2000s, pockets of players around the country kept it alive with local communities and regular tournaments. Then a few years ago, four longtime players from across the country – businessmen who had met through tournaments and the online community – bonded together to purchase the company and reinvigorate the game. Today, they are currently producing new sets that include hot pop culture IPs like Skybound (e.g. The Walking Dead, Invincible), Top Cow (e.g. The Darkness, Witchblade, Cyberforce) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (e.g. Tarzan, John Carter), and utilizing the stellar artistry of comics superstars including Phillip Tan, Marc Silvestri, Joe Jusko, Jae Lee, Adam Kubert and more. This is the story of four self-proclaimed geeks who met through their love of a fanboy property, and have come together to revive and thrive the CCG with big plans. The panel will feature Lazarus Rising Games co-founders Ronald Pozzi & Joseph Gagnepain, original Overpower co-creator Ron Peraza, Matt Hawkins (president & COO, Top Cow), and notable comic artists Philip Tan, Jon Lam, Casey Parsons and Ito. All fans attending the panel will receive a limited edition OverPower Invincible CCG card featuring Rex Splode in artwork from Gonzalo Ordonez, and there will be an additional giveaway of some autographed cards to a few lucky winners.

Skybound’s Walking Dead and Invincible join Lazarus Rising Games’ OverPower

OverPower Skybound

Lazarus Rising Games (LRG) expands the rebirth of its legendary 1990s collectible card game OverPower with the signing of a licensing agreement with Skybound Entertainment. 

The deal will bring Skybound into the OverPower universe starting in 2026, and will feature originals from Skybound’s robust library of IP, most notably Invincible and The Walking Dead. The roster joining OverPower’s decks will include characters such as Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve and Battle Beast, as well as The Walking Dead fan favorites like Rick Grimes, Michonne, Negan and Maggie.

The addition of Skybound Entertainment characters and imagery follows LRG’s recent licensing deals with Top Cow Productions, Inc. and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. – leading to the addition of Top Cow’s Witchblade, Darkness, and Cyberforce, as well as Burroughs’ iconic Tarzan of the Apes® and John Carter of Mars in the upcoming iterations of OverPower in 2025 and 2026.

Retailers will begin carrying new OverPower product on their shelves in mid-April 2025 that will feature original artwork from some of the finest artists in the comics and illustration industries today – such as Jae Lee, Jim Cheung, Raymond Gay, Phillip Tan, William Santos, and many more. OverPower will be available through ACD Distribution and GTS Distribution in the United States, while Universal Distribution will facilitate delivery in Canada.

In addition, LRG has created an advisory board that already features Ron Perazza, one of the original developers of the 1990s game, and Paul Bazakas, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for GTS Distribution.

In collaboration with Carde.io, LRG has also recently launched its player portal, which features the card library for the upcoming Edgar Rice Burroughs set, a fully-assembled Deck Builder, National Elo Rankings, an event finder, and a reward shop. Interested players can visit/join the player portal at www.OverPower.com.

LRG is also in the final planning stages for a series of major tournaments across North America, highlighted by more than $100,000 in prize pools as well as exclusive merchandise. Announcements for the tournaments are forthcoming. Further, LRG continues to showcase OverPower at conventions and events around the country, most notably at a heavily trafficked interactive booth at 2024 New York Comic Con, and as part of an informative, entertaining panel at WonderCon 2025 in Anaheim. LRG already has strategized a noticeable presence at Origins Game Fair in June 2025, and has plans to showcase OverPower at important gaming and pop culture conventions throughout the year. For the past nine months, LRG has also executed a soft rollout of the game’s new aspects and cards, including two sets that sold out immediately.
