Best HeroClix Ever?

Finally, we can pit Joss Whedon against Galactus. Or Stan Lee against the Infinity Gauntlet. Or we can team them both up to face off against...Harry Knowels and Morgan Spurlock?

Don't worry, "directors and creators" isn't the theme of the next HeroClix set. The four celebs listed above are each getting a clix sculpt in their honor to celebrate the DVD release of Comic-Con IV: A Fan's Hope. Anyone who gets their hands on the limited edition version of the DVD will also get the four figures. For a rundown on all four pieces, check out CraveOnline.com.

The premise of Grim Leaper #1 intrigues me:

A brand new series from the mind of critically acclaimed writer KURTIS J. WIEBE (GREEN WAKE, PETER PANZERFAUST), GRIM LEAPER is a gory romantic comedy. Lou Collins is caught in a cyclical curse of violent, gruesome deaths and new beginnings in the bodies of strangers. With no clue why, Lou desperately searches for a way to break the curse and cross over peacefully to the other side. Then equally doomed Ella comes along. It's a love story to die for.
