The Le: When did you start playing HeroClix?   

Casey: I started playing heroclix in early 2007. I remember my roommate at the time bringing home a few boosters and some singles plucked from the bin at our local gamer store. I remember his words exactly,"If you could have wolverine fight batman would that be awesome" My response was...." yes! that would be awesome."

My friend then proceeded to hand me a small wolverine and batman attached to what I thought were war hammer stands which of course turned out to be a COMBAT DIAL whaaaaaaaaaat! I immediately became hooked and quickly bought all that I could.  lol I can remember we were so horrible at the rules,  when we played we actually got into a few arguments over it. It was only after playing at some supported games with judges it became alot more enjoyable and fun. I just loved the whole strategic aspect of it and the different versions that were available. I had to own every spiderman, every batman, every wolverine. It became an addiction. My first unique was the universe #125 samurai wolverine paid 20 buckaroos for it, I love that one and still have it. I collected comics and liked to draw so heroclix just fit and it had me pumped because they don't sit, you can play them in a game display, then trade them. I can't remember the last time someone was willing to trade comic books.
