Have you had much intrest from the UK and Europe? I would gladly act as a distributor if it works out to be cheaper.

Using the calculator, it also works out to be around $10-$20, which is very reasonable for overseas shipping. Unless the price gets really absurd ($30/shipment), we'll likely ship them out from here (reasons stated earlier about logistics).

So do we need to keep checking this thread regularly for payment / ordering information or are you going to be sending private messages to each person individually?

I'm gonna guess that Palatinus could send a mass message to everyone on the forums about this. If not, I'll send a mass PM.

I vote #2 for Galactus, though I'm not sure how well it'd turn out printed.  Ah well, the way the voting's going I think #1's going to win it anyway, which I'm just fine with.

Really like the cardback design, or at least what I can see of it :P.  I always liked the more minimalist design of the DC and Image cardbacks and think the custom design really unifies the look of all three very nicely.

We also have votes from the Facebook community, it's almost a draw between two of them.

The card back was one thing that I really wanted to change. I obviously can't use the Wolverine/Spider-Man one so we needed something different. I originally wanted just the logo in the center but we also had to include disclaimer text. Here's what it looks like:

Black would use a lot of ink.  Is there another color option?

We're not getting charged by the amount of ink. We're actually using a professional print shop to get these done.

The above is still a sample version of the card, the real one will be adjusted slightly.

EDIT:
We couldn't really use "green" or "blue" or "red" because they "could" be "confused" with "real" OverPower cards. :(

I like the all black back, it looked good in the background of the Gambit card that was posted for preview.

Impressive work.

Almost everyone that has made a set of Marvels immediately went with the Hereos for Hire #1 image:

Image from ComicVine.

I decided to sway away from it and find something else:


Kal-el

Like I said on Twitter, I think this was a really good change. The new image looks a lot less 'generic'.

Torch

Yes, all around fantastic work.  Is it possible to potentially venture into more fan sets in the future?

We'll explore the possibility. The amount of time I put into this was exhausting and that was only image hunting. We'll probably need everyone to help work out new specials and balancing them and play testing -- in addition to the image hunt. Marvels was pretty much tried and tested with The Reserves so we really didn't have to do much except for images.
