• Alliance Game Distributors is soliciting orders from retailers for the black box edition of Glory to Rome, listing July 2012 as the release date – which seems a tad optimistic since the latest update from Cambridge Games Factory's Ed Carter suggests that the game won't be available in the U.S. until late July/early August – and it still needs to head to Kickstarter customers at that point. In any case, movement among the distributors suggests that the waters are flowing in the right direction.

• ICv2 has posted info about Cryptozoic Entertainment's DC Comics Deck-Building Game, which I've summarized in the game description as follows:
Quote:
Batman! Superman! Wonder Woman! Aquaman! The Flash! Green Lantern! Cyborg! The Justice League of America is ready for action – are you? Fight the never-ending battle for truth, justice, and peace in the DC Comics Deck-Building Game!
To start the game, each player chooses one of the seven over-sized hero cards, each of which has a special power, and starts with a deck of ten cards. Each turn, a player starts with a hand of five cards and can acquire or conquer the five types of cards in the game: heroes, villains, equipment, super powers, and locations. To defeat villains, you'll need to have power – but when any villain is defeated, a new one comes into play, attacking all the heroes while doing so. Make sure you've acquired defenses – like superspeed or bulletproof powers, or The Batsuit equipment – to protet yourself from harm.
Craft your hero deck into a well-oiled machine to take on the most vile villains in the DC Universe in your quest for Victory (Points)!
